There was a previous post with this truck at the bottom of Axle Hill. Proud to say that we successfully made it through Pritchett - start to finish. We did have a couple issues in the front axle- broken actuator/collar and broken intermediate shaft; but we had the parts to fix it on trail. Went through with zero body damage, with exception of a couple new scratches.
For those of you who are now wanting to take your full size vehicle up the canyon, make a hard assessment if you actually should. We had a full lot of spare parts to keep us going, a team of guys to help repair anything that might arise, and a seasoned spotter from rock crawling competitions.
For Jeeps, this is a decently tough trail. For oversized vehicles, it takes careful planning - and things can go sideways in an instant. Last thing we want to do is encourage a bunch of people taking their large/diesel pickup up here, breaking and clogging the trail.
We kept the best trail etiquette as possible, never bypassed the trail for something easier; we want to be good stewards of the trails at the end of the day.

HF winch put in some work to get that done.
I can't imagine taking that truck thru Pritchett.
I'm liking it! Love the wheels. Harkens back to a time gone by.

Did the headrests take anyone else to The Great White North?
If so just give us a Coo-Loo-Coo-Coo-Coo-Coo-Coo-Coo!

Nor could I
And you recognize that spot don’t you? It’s not even an obstacle - a bit tippy, but certainly not tough. The fact that he had to winch there is telling.
You can get a Yogu through Pritchett with enough winching…
Which spot is it? it looks like down and dirty to me but I couldn't figure out why they'd winch across that.

I think so - but the truck is coming around the far left, down toward the dry creek bed.
And damn, that’s one good lookin’ spotter…![]()
It's like they wanted to avoid going all the way down so they had him drive across and put a winch line on to drag him due to lack of power.
After looking again, I think you are right.
And here it is
