Ok, as for location...Believe it or not, this is in Idaho. When I first came here, I thought 4 wheeling was non-existent-And some here will tell you it is. Others will swear there's "really gnarly" stuff out there(then they'll show you their stock Jeep with 31s, a fire exstinguisher, and never uncovered Warn and tell you about the extreme trail they were on while hunting):rolleyes: Then there's a small group of people who know what time it is. This underground group seems to be growing too. I started exploring the rugged terrain of the southwestern part of the state-south of the Snake river, there is SO much potential here! The nasty canyons are here, there just aren't people wanting to wheel them. Most of the trails divert around the big rocks and waterfalls because the MXR's and ATVs don't want to slow down and deal with rocks. The trail in these pics really isn't anything compared to the one just down road from it....It's just plain GNARLY! And comparable with the goods of wheeling meccas.

"Sean...bite me" Nolan, I would not have got this if I had not read your earlier post. These things have a tendency to haunt you for a while LOL. Bumpers are very subjective to personal op though. What one person thinks looks awesome, another might find hideous. I have to say that red Rover looks sweet with that hoop on your post on the other board(If you concentrate real hard you can pretend its a red cruiser:D) You already know this but, if you are going tie in a front hoop, better think in future terms. Are you going to "buggitize" it? front coilovers? ...Save redoing it again ya know-because it NEVER ends:D :D

Specs? The Green Machine is 14.1'X6.3'X6.7' not incuding spare and front bumper.He,he,heh Just the usual, 350/TH350 with custom everything that's not body related. No bolt ons! Waggy springs in front, 54" Chevy springs rear w/3/4 elliptic(not used much-part of a build up done a few years back-more flex & bounce than necessary) unless you spend all of your time on ramps. I have a D300 w/4:1& twin stk and a full width plan in place but have been thinking of starting something new possibly buggy;) Not sure what to do about the Cruiser.

Thanks!

Can you give any more specific to the location? Doesn't sounds like it's too far from where our club is centered. Most of our club trips end up taking us south because we don't know if much to the north, but this opens up a whole new "can-o-worms." I'd love to find some great wheeling options in Idaho!!!

Once again, nice pics. As for the bumper, I've never been a fan of that particular type but I can appreciate the functionality of them. FWIW, I think it looks better on your truck than most I've seen.

-Thanks....The closest town that is on the map would be Murphy, ID. These trails are near the junction of Highway 78 and 45. Give me a shout if you're going to be in the area, and want to do some wheelin. I look foward to the first full run through Chupacabra, a sweeeet trail through a canyon full of waterfalls-It's a bad mofo. I will post some pics when this goes down;)
