Driver's view pics of The Box - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

could we get some pictures from the driver's view (or just someone walking through the line) of The Box. That would be cool, though i know it wouldn't do it justice...

I dont think any picture can do it justice. you have to stand right there in person.

JeepinDoug · 10-23-2003, 07:01 PM

Pics won't do it justice. Going up the box, there's not much grade to it but big rocks and alot of steering. Even video doesn't show.

I agree with what has been said, but I thought this was a decent pic. taken in August

Is this what you want...? HAHA Sorry next time I will ask for the camera

Can you get through it in a short wheeled base rig, locked F/R on 35s?

My last trip there (a month ago) I doubt it unless you're willing to get really stupid or be SUPER tedious and take forever. Besides it will be covered in snow soon anyways. The entrance totaly favors wide rigs and eats narrow rigs. seems most narrow rigs have to drive into the crack which dumps them almost all the way onto their side, meaning you pretty much go nowhere. If you're willing to run the "high line" on the slabs you could get right in. but the section where you drop into has changed a bit, got deeper and the rocks have moved just enough that i bet it'd make a narrow rig very tippy/if not roll over right there. My truck with full width and 42's walks right into the box, but the middle section where the biggest rocks are just grabs onto my truck and keeps it there. Seems full width in this section is bad juju go figure. I finally made it after like 12 attempts, but i had to run some completely wacked line that set me up for an even more wacked line hence the picture on my side

It's all good though, the box seems to be different everytime. One day you may walk it like it wasn't even there, try it again and eats you up

I drove my 2000 TJ through a year ago august - D30,D35c, 36" TSL/SX, Atlas II, no lockers. Just picked a line on the right and made it. Went real slow and easy to avoid breakage.

Man, that just looks plain awesome. Hope that I can be fortunate enough to get out there and try it some day.
