The Squeeze at Pinyon Mountain Trail

[Challenge64]

My one photo for the JOTM doesn’t do justice for what I can best describe as about the most terrifying right of passage I’ve ever done - The Squeeze.

Pinyon Mountain Trail is a Jeep Badge of Honor trail that has 4 main obstacles. 3 of which were a non event. Then there was the Squeeze. A narrow rock passage not meant for modded out 392s like mine. I’ve got Dana 60s at 72” wide plus 13.5 tires for an overall width of 86”. Thank god I ran with a local group who absolutely knew their S***. Ocotillo Trail Runners.

I made it through in about 10 minutes with no body damage. Scratched the life out of every wheel but the body was untouched.
