Our New Toy

We've been thinking of getting a used Jeep rather than go to the expense of adding a bunch of stuff to our FJ Crusier. So, even though today was Reid's 24th birthday, we got the present. We bought this 1999 Jeep Wrangler. We had looked at a 1990 on the day before but got this newer and nicer one for the same amount of money.
So then of course, we had to take it 4-wheeling. Rick's been wanting to go on the Porcupine Rim trail but we only went about 1.5 miles of the 11+ mile trip. Let's just say the ladies in the back were really getting thrown around and the road was so narrow in places, were afraid we'd go off the cliff (and it was a Long Ways Down!) No use wrecking it the first day. So we turned around and took the LaSal Loop Road home.


This give you just a little idea of the road for Pocupine Rim.
Reid has more pictures (better shots too) on his blog and in his flickr. Be sure to check them out. (See link to Reid's blog to the left.)

So, is there anything down there that my truck would make it through, without breaking, getting stuck, or scraping off the underside?

Yes, there are some easier trails (and I prefer them). Some of these are really scary.
