went through a trail here called gunsight pass then camped out of the truck in the mountains then went up the backside of a mountain here that had some great snow, so much that we got stuck like 3 times had to winch out and ruined my stock alternator and had to come home. Bunch of fun though heres a few pics.

yea it was a ton of fun, we had planned on going up and over the mountain then doing some more wheeling in the range that is east of tucson and saying out probably 2 more days but that electrical issue screwed that idea, the winch saved us from being stuck on the backside of the mountain though and it rained hard and snowed today so it would have been a crappy situation trying to get back so it was worth ruining my alternator i guess but im going to upgrade now and get atleast 1 optima blue or yellow top maybe a dual battery set up.

You went out that long with one truck? Brave.

I wheel with one truck alot too. Not really by choice, but more an effect of the poor quality "roads" leading to my destination. 2 is smarter, but isn't always an option for me.

I can survive better in the bush than in a city anyhow. :D

Looks like you guys had a great time. Nice pics, Nice truck. Winching your alternator to death sucks, but we've all done it. All part of the crazy sport we love.

Very nice pics. I am suprised that you made it though it all. If you SFA that with 33s that would be a nice set up for what you do.
