Just a poser pic, but I impressed with the flex for a stock rig. Definitely better than my '01 was stock.

PW's are very flexy!

My example is this Death Valley trail (see pics below). It was a 19.4 mile round-trip and looked like this much of the way, I did the first half after-dark, not my original plan!

Made it through this trail no problems, sway disconnected, both axles locked, 4LO the entire way. I did sweat a few bullets along the way but came out unscathed, rock sliders a must.

PW's are an amazing vehicle!

Thought so. Been meaning to run that. Is that the trail with the wooden bridge? If so, did you cross it?

Yes, it is the trail with the bridge (pleasant canyon south park loop), I have done the entire loop and crossed the bridge before during a previous trip but it's my understanding that the bridge is now closed to vehicle traffic because of storm damage. My information could be out of date, however that's the last I heard.

I don't have a picture when I crossed because it was dark (way sketchy but I had no choice) here's an internet picture so others can see what we're talking about. A PW is wide when I crossed I had a tire on each side right up to the edge.

Yeah, probably best to do that in the dark... less chance of being able to read the sign! Trail looks amazing.

Having built that bridge and driven my truck over it many times I can tell you the weight limit is political not real world. The BLM tried to close it, but now they are spending money to possibly re-build it.
The bridge is supposedly closed to all "full size vehicles", but that hasn't stopped anybody from crossing. The bridge is probably the safest spot on that stretch of road. We built the bridge in 1993 then several years ago added the planking on the top and some more support underneath. It doesn't even flex with my truck on it.
