by 'winch' I meant 8 corn-fed hillbillies on a strap.

how does the last waterfall compare to the end of upper-hell? Is it driveable--realisticly?

WTF are you talking about? You have no idea what I have and have not done. This last trip was the first time you have been there. You have no idea what we did.

Sit Down and Shut Up!

hopefully the weather will clear up tonight so I can go out there tomorrow. otherwise, I have sunday off. man the 2 weeks between sememsters sure affords lots of wheelin' time--if it would stop rainin.

Skye, You drove your shet over a Paved road compared to what it was. Making it that far before you ever saw the trail took days.

Why do you have to compare yourself with what others do?

You NEVER would have been able to drive that piece as far as you did if some others didn't clear the path.



God Dam your aragent!!

this is the guy who got so upset about rolling his rig that he almost puked right.....tell him to sit this one out umm k ;)

This trail is not for the faint of heart....or for just about anyone yet....only the most built (read as psycho) are going to be able to do this trail for now...

I will take my junk up it after I swap in my dana 44s and stretch the wheelbase....you better believe it!! but until then....I fit in the faint of heart category...hiking it was enough for me :)

Constrictor is not a beginner trail. You better be locked front and rear with enough clearance and big tires. Likely that 35's are going to have a rough time with it. Longer wheelbase would certainly be helpful.

expect damage. at a minimum, expect some body damage (unless you have fully exo'd the thing). This is an expert trail only that should be left to the guys who are ready to do this type of trail.

Perhaps someday, I'll try it in my TJ (after I get my new axles, bigger tires, full cage, etc.), but right now, I fall in the feint of heart catagory with spence.

Oh yeah, the TJ that did go up it is stretched, locked Dana 60's F&R, about 38" tires, excellent driver with no fear of damage

I don't mean to be harsh, but this trail is a hardcore trail that should be left to the hardcore rigs.


If you want to go up there and see it, follow someone who knows where it is and hike it.

here is a good sattelite map program and it looks like this trail has been around since 1993 at least....it starts in the lower left hand corner where it branches to the right...

Although Shawn hasn't competed (that I know of), I have a feeling he's talking about himself.

Although he isn't currently competing, I would consider his rig to be at or near 'competition' level.

big tires, big axles, locked, lifted.......He could compete with it.
