However, before I knew I wouldn't be able go on the desert trip we had to take a validation run to prove out our buddy Ian's CUCV Blazer was ready for the big trip. He's running an 8.1/nv4500 combo with one tons like Larry's K10. So we took off for a day run to our normal spot for snow wheeling. Keep in mind these pics were taken in May and we ran into a LOT of moisture at the lower elevations and some killer deep snow at the higher spots. I don't think I've ever wheeled in the snow that late before.






I'm still finding mud on the truck months later.




I made it probably another 1/2 mile breaking trail for the group when I hit a wall. It was up to the hubs and it was solid as block of ice. Stuffed it in good too. Could not back out of it either. Took the Jeep and the Taco tied together to rescue me with a winch.




We got it pulled out and proceeded to make our way back home.

My dog storm had a good time. We found a couple of weak links on Ian's ride for him to fix before the trip too. No major breakage either.
