V Notch Last Chance Canyon - Possible?

[jimster716]

Random question: do you think a lifted 5th gen T4R TEP could make it through the V Notch at Last Chance Canyon?

Going to Last Chance and in doing some research, the v notch is probably the most difficult feature at that trail. Maybe the IFS is a serious limitation and the size of the 4Runner would make it a foolhardy proposition.

Just wondering if anyone's taken it. Dunno if I'm too willing to be the first to succeed or just another to be pulled out with shredded doors and bumpers. But it's an itch I can't scratch lately. Hahaha

I'd say no...but you're welcome to prove me wrong. Just be sure the video camera is rolling.

If you have no problem doing body damage to your rig.. id bet you'd make it

Thanks all for the replies.

After seeing it in person, I passed on it, pretty sure there was a good chance my doors would be torn like a coke can. LOL.

Still had an amazing time today, weather was great for midsummer but Bickel Camp was closed. Walked through Burro Schmidt's hand dug tunnel.

Went with my usual crew of T4R's. I wouldn't do Last Chance solo...actually wouldn't go offroading anywhere solo just cuz usually cell reception is unavailable in case of emergency. One of these days I'll post in case anyone else is interested.

Solid axles and lockers are the key...dont need to be crazy built, i've done it a few times in a TJ and fullsize K5...got to be ok with body damage too cause it could happen if u slip
