Nice job on the extraction. Tahoe has beautiful views but can get tight in places. My wife and I did some solo trails last summer on both East and West shores along with some hiking. I've always carried a high lift but I now have a Venom winch on order. I'll probably get a Power Puller as well. The photo is from Blackwood Canyon on the West shore near the staging area for the Rubicon. I had a very tight space between a tree stump and a tree. My driver side flares have a few scars from that one. In retrospect I could have used my hand saw but that would have been a lot of branches to trim and we were losing daylight.

it was a fun prerun i had a blast even though going 12 over rocks gets old after the first 2 hours of it but i finally got to use my synthetic cord for my winch and i have to say it worked out really well even though we had to get a little creative with how we where going to unstuck bigg50. also the only damage that happoned was caused by us and we could have prevented it.

Ya, I we were all begging for pavement by the end of the day lol. Thank god for the winch. I wish I would have paid a little more attention because a new flare runs aroun $270 which is crazy imo. Great time for sure

Thanks, it was definitely a challenge but we eventually figured it out.

I'm not seeing a phote btw.

Edit: never mind, I see it now. That does look tight. If I had enough cash I'd love to pick up a wrangler and hit the rubicon but I don't :biggrin:

Great pics!

$270 is to much but I wouldn't have to spend another 700 to prep and paint so probably won't go with new fenders
