We made it to the top Saturday.  Including a stock 4WD Tacoma with Rear Diff Lock.  Can you say skinny pedal?!!




Only a few mishaps along the way.



Greg winched me away from the rails with a snatch block off this tree.



Positioning for the pull.

The real fun occurred on the way down, when Dusty decided to play around on a big rock.  Unfortunately, my camera's memory card was full, so I couldn't take any pics...





















































...Well, at least not until I got out a new card.



Notice the kicked-out windshield.  Dusty couldn't wait for us to get one of the doors opened, he just deployed the escape hatch. :D

Once again, Greg came to the rescue for this recovery.



Back on all fours, mostly.



Diving through the window to look for the keys.  Looked all around inside, in the snow...and finally found them in his pocket!




It cranked, but wouldn't start right there, so we borrowed a strap from IMMUDDY, and I towed him down the trail.  The downhills were fun, with Dusty's brakes not powered and my rig still in Low, till finally the Lexus overran the strap and we stopped.  He tried cranking it again, and this time it fired, and made it to the trailer under its own power.



Quick compilation video with no sound, you didn't want to hear my comments anyway.

We hope to be up there this weekend as well.  Will leave the grocery hauling Cherokee at home.  Good seeing you last weekend Monk.

Had a blast, ended up blowing a head gasket right in Shaver but well worth the fun of the day!

Blown head gasket? And you give me a bad time for blowing beads up there. Hope you get it fixed soon. See you all up there in a few weeks when we get some snow hopefully.
If I hit it just right, I might make it.
