Carnage canyon Buena Vista this weekend

Post by crawlercreations »

Finally got down to carnage canyon in buena vista yesterday! Went in with a long wheel base samurai and a full tube rock buggy. My bronco did awesome for me! I am extremely happy I narrowed it as this trail will destroy your body very quickly! I had no break downs, no problems, no broken parts (besides a trail light lense) and very minor body scrapes. Only winched the exit as it is BRUTAL!! The samurai broke a Toyota front axle shaft, which he replaced on the trail. Them he blew the heater core, started losing oil pressure and was really cooking his clutch right before smashing his rf fender into the tire at the end of the v notch. He ended up winching most of the way after the v notch. The buggy was awesome, of course! I will upload better pictures when I get them from my buddy.

Looks like all the work slimming down was totally worth it. Extreme articulation. I like the rear bumper, too.

That is a nasty trail! Walked it once, but it's out of my league currently. Looking forward to more pics!
