srmitchell's Deer Valley/Slickrock run: July 21-24

[srmitchell]

There's no way it was more than 2 feet. It didn't cover my tires.

The South crossing is the shallower of the two and is only about a foot deep. The North crossing (nearest Blue Lakes) is the deeper one. There is a deep line (maybe 6 - 12" deeper) and a not so deep line at this crossing. We took the not so deep line mostly because I don't have the doors on and would rather not get water inside if I can help it. So on the line we took, I'd say it was over two feet but wasn't quite to the top of my 35's.

Sounds right, and nothing to worry about.

one more question, do I need gas tank armor for this trail. I run 32's so I'm not high off the ground. I got a cover, but my jeep is old, and the bolt holes are now stripped out after having to replace the fuel pump a couple times. I'm a good driver, been in the rubicon a few times, and the only time I hit the gas tank was when going off big ledges. This will be my first time in Deer valley though. I have rock rails, oil pan cover, and t-case cover. just wondering if I need to worry about a fix for the gas tank cover.

 

[srmitchell]

If you've navigated the rubicon, you'll be fine.

I (personally) would run a tank skid. I know for a fact I smacked my tank at some point when we were up there. But, I'm pretty stupid.
