Used every little bit of the lift/tires/gears today. Truck was loaded down with trail maintenance equipment and we had to get deep into the woods for the planned work. The rangers forgot to unlock the gate to the access road, so we had to take a "detour" up and around a powerline path that's long, steep, and loaded with sugar sand. The only thing I didnt do was air down, so I didnt make it up the steepest sections (of course i tried the hard lines first ). In the end we got there, and 4-low with the 6L90E and 4.56s feels like it can rip a house down!!

Only regret is not getting out and having my son stand in the ruts that were up to his knees. If we dont get any rain I'll head out on Tuesday with my bike to document the shenanigans
