Well, here's something a little different from me:

Gutsy... The pitch black part wasn't making me nervous, just the fact the rock "ceiling" kept getting closer and closer...
 
Wow, that is really hairy! Pretty tight squeeze for a large SUV.

I've been to the Reward Mine a few years ago, before I had the 4Runner, and hiked into it. At the time I some geared up on the roof rack so I couldn't have driven into the mine even if I'd wanted to, and I doubt I would have had the nerve to do it. Especially considering how far in you have to go before you can even think about turning around.
 
Great videos!! What kind of drone are you using? the High def is amazing!

Thanks! I have a Mavic Pro.

Those videos were shot in 1080p and 29.97fps. Normally I shoot at 4k and 30fps, but there was a software update just before my trip, and I didn't realize that the update changed my settings back to the default.

It's actually a lot larger than you would think. There's a few spots I bet two vehicles could pass by, of course there's others where it's somewhat tight.

There's a couple of spots you can turn around at before the main area that's 1/4 mile in. Those areas would take a couple turns though to complete.
 
Overland Family Expeditions New Series: Expedition Utah

[MENTION=141598]UncleBoobers[/MENTION] and I went to Cruise Moab in May while simultaneously scouting a trip for our families that we would take one month later. We took my 5th gen trail premium on its first expedition since I put an Icon lift on, BFG KO2's 285/70/17, CBI rear bumper, CBI ditch lights and a custom cabinet built for the cargo area that now houses an ARB 50 fridge and fridge slider. One of my favorite mods was the Lux rock lights that we installed for the night run of Hell's Revenge which will be the fourth video in our series. Here is the trailer and first video to our series. Let us know what you guys think. Also, you can follow us on Facebook at overland family expeditions.

Here is a video of me doing Gold Mine Hill.

For reference here are the guys from TFL Truck doing it with a TRD Pro.

Fast forward to the 4 min mark.



Here is my attempt:

<div style="width:100%;height:0px;position:relative;padding-bottom:56.250%;"><iframe src="https://streamable.com/s/ylzbf/jspmux?autoplay=1" frameborder="0" width="100%" height="100%" allowfullscreen style="width:100%;height:100%;position:absolute;left:0px;top:0px;overflow:hidden;"></iframe></div>

For reference I did have the rear diff locked. Also it looks like the rut has gotten bigger since they filmed that but it's a bit smoother now. I think the extended travel shocks I recently installed helped me maintain more traction too.
