i did it at ejs and i just got the pics from a friend. dang what a cool trail it was! it was like nothing else i have ever done. it makes all the other hard trails look like nothing. my 36s were tiny compared to the 42s and 44s everyone else had. and yes my dana 44s survived, i had no breakage.

here are a few pics for those that haven't seen it.

Did you try it without a winch? It does look pretty nutty when you're sitting at the bottom of it.

Looks like a good time! I've been thru Upper Helldorado numerous times, but only once in my own vehicle. It's probably one of my top 3 trails, definatley a challenging trail. Seeing your pics makes me want to run it with my 4Runner next time I'm in Moab... :D

I'll have fun doing it! My old Toy made it thru no problem... I didn't come close to touching. Granted, I was on narrow Toy axles. It would be fun to try though!

Great pics! I have also ran the trail a bunch! The first time through i was a full bodied 78 ford bronco!! By the time i was done........i was a bit narrower!!!

After removing the body I make it a little easier! But i know what you mean about the waterfall looking tuffer in person then in videos. I have tried on 2 different trips with no success!

i wanted to try it winch free but <1. i don't think i had a chance with my setup and <2. it was the second day we were in moab and i didn't want to break yet

it is going to be a yearly deal now, and hopefully i can get sissy friends with jeeps built more than mine to do the trail instead of watching :rolleyes:
