Me and my cousin went up to Evans Creek today (Saturday the 13th) to retrieve a riding lawn mower one of our friends left up there. (it quite running so they left it with the intention of coming back this weekend like we did).
So we grabbed the lawn mower and picked up a few of the larger items we saw laying on the trail, like a 4cly motor, and 2 front bumper... We were taking the lawn mower to our friends recycling center so we went ahead and grabbed the other things too.
Anyway, an '97 ext cab, short bed Dodge Ram 150 with 33's fit up the Lower 311 with only a dent on the front fender which wasn't even really that bad, and a broken sway bar mounting bolt (those trucks definitely need the sway bar...)!
That being said, the first time he went up it last 4th of July, he pretty much destroyed both sides of the truck (FordZuki was there, so he remembers it).
But hey, somebody gave him a couple beers for making it and "modifying" the body, even though he doesn't drink.
And some pics
Here's what the truck looked like after he got it but before it had seen any trails:
Here's the small dent we got!
And, what the truck looks like after seeing the 311 twice
It was pretty rough after it's first 311 trip... We had to use a pry bar to get the door open, because it wouldn't open even by pushing on the inside. That's why it has the green door now, and it still doesn't close right most of the time.
just thought I'd share our day
