Looking at the situation I think they were struggling with the hardest part of the trail, it has an angled slick tree root on the right hand side and I was guessing they took a couple of tries at it...

I'm guessing they left it hooked up to keep it from sliding back down the hill but who knows really.

Yep, left the winch line wrapped around a tree.

Yeah, exhaust exits right in front of the rear wheels. I'll likely just take a sawzall to them and cut them so they just dump out underneath once I figure out sliders.

I've made this section a couple of times in my Disco, failed it a couple of times too. Even when I made it there was much struggle and scraping. The G walked right up it so that was fun.

But other than the Jeep in the way, Pennsylvania is in good shape. A little bit of snow up top, nothing too serious though.

And maybe they weren't up for pulling that winch line in 10' to unblock the trail?

Just a heads up in case anyone was thinking of hitting Pennsylvania Gulch. I took the scenic route home from Boulder, went up flagstaff, then, can't remember, maybe it's CR 68, the one that pops out...

Awwww yeah, new tires day!

Wait, so you do have four wheel drive or not? Either way, welcome!

Smart. I’m going to see what I can find, thanks for the tip.

Found 4 18” wheels on Craigslist for $300. I wish there were a 5th but hard to argue with the price for Merc wheels.

This engine is pretty warm but a blanket would be nice, what could I use?

It would be a rerun for you but new to him, I say consider the trails we did for New Years.

I wonder what happensif I plug this thing back in?

That is the guy we were looking for, thanks for the links Max.

No luck.

Ah, it's under off-topic, that's why I didn't find it. I'm a dummy, thanks for the pointer Jim.

Jay and I are both back safely in Ned. Unfortunately we didn't find any sign of the guy, we looked...

I think there is a "going alone" post somewhere but can't find it and am rushing out the door. Going to give Jayson a hand looking for someone in a black 5th Gen 4runner that is lost up there. I...

You don't exactly want a guy like that teaching his skills to the wrong sort. No worries though, they have it covered on their website:

Please note that the training that we provide is intended...

I wonder how Matt's Rescue and Recovery handles the insurance issue?

No idea. He told me he got stuck in the snow, high centered and did manage to get a tow but it was $600 which he felt was way too high and that is why he started his own thing. Also mentioned he...

That's intense.

Damn. I'm really sorry to hear that Jim. That is going to be a rough thing to recover from, I wish them and you strength to battle through it.
