Wow, that's a seriously hard core trail. Those videos really show how difficult it is.

Yes very extreme, I've got a crushed drivers door, happened after the Vnotch. The old 4runner has alot of body damage.

I'll post up some damage pics later.

I remember last time I did that trail, I was looking forward to coming back, now it is so much harder, I don't want to go back.

Another in the series of trails that the rebuilt Chili will never see...:eek:

That is some seriously nasty stuff there. Glad you made it back in one piece!! I mean, besides my personal interest in same...:lmao:

Does this mean you will be seeing a steady stream of 4Runner body work in the shop??

Ouch... I got Yoda Jim's last straight driver's side fender for my son Saturday, but he is complaining about owing me for it, so he may turn loose of it. $43 or so with tax, so that is 'affordable' if it isn't 'findable'.
