    Off to do the Alpine Loop. We started at Mineral Creek then to Engineer Pass to Cinnamon Pass/Wager Gulch to California Gulch to Corkscrew Gulch/Hurricane Pass

    We didn't get any pictures of Mineral Creek. The trail was pretty brutal on the stock Tacoma, so we spent almost all our time spotting and rock crawling.

    These pictures were past Mineral Creek and going up Engineer Pass

    Once we were on Cinnamon Pass we took the side trail Wager Gulch and went to the Carson Ghost Town.

    Great pics of such a beautiful place. Too bad you couldn't enjoy the trail in your 4Runner after all the work you've done on it lately. Thank you for sharing.

    So did you get your rig back up and running? If so. What was wrong with it?

    Thanks! Ya it was a major bummer, glad we had a second vehicle that we could still do most of the original trip that we had planned. The Ranger was awesome and let me ditch the Runner for 4 days at the park, which was awesome.

    The starter ended up going out on it randomly. Decided that it was the day it didn't want to engage fully on it. No warning or anything, so kind of glad it happened there and not at camp somewhere.

    I read a similar story on FB a couple of days ago. Was your rig the one that might have had a flywheel issue? I assume a new starter fixed the problem?

    It did stall out. It was bucking, I was climbing the hill to the park at about 4K RPM's and it would drop to 3-3.5K and pop back up to 4K repeatedly. We tried to reproduce it and was pulling hills by the house in 2nd at 4.5K with no issues.

    After that we headed home and I picked up my Ram, and a car hauler.

    Good news got to play with my winch for the first time!

    Some drone footage. No off-roading just scenic shots of the where we went.
