Great pics! Looks like fun.

Hard? Yes! Hardest in the state? Noooooo. Let me know when you want to do really hard ones! We've got Montrose and Rangely trails!

If you have something harder than this, then I probably need to do some serious upgrades.

Most of the Montrose and Rangely trails are harder. Upgrade!

I have 5160s but close enough.

Advice:
Bring a trailer if you can. You never know who wont make it.
Make sure your winch is in good working order.
Have basic tools.
Prepare for a long day - lots of water.
Small group will make it easier as the day will be long enough as is.
Make sure bump stops and limit straps are in place. That trail will flex you out.
Have FUN!!!

All good advice! Every time we have been there, jeeps have carnage. Most frequently, axles, shocks, mounts, wheels and tires, body damage.

Bring some ratchet straps. They can be useful for holding an axle on (if a mount cracks) or for holding an axle housing to the frame to make the jeep easier to jack up should you have to pull an axle.

Thanks for the heads up.
Left Hand Rubi, how would you rate this trail compared to Die Trying? I walked Die Trying and was impressed with the technical difficulty. We'd have ran it, it it wasn't already 1PM in the afternoon and the last day in Colorado for us.
Die Trying is still on my bucket list.:gluging:

I think die trying is harder. You are right, its more technical. There is a squeeze in there that is extremely difficult. I've still haven't been able to make the climb out at the exit. (Unlike carnage where I can crawl it). The only JKU I know about that has made it through there is Rex. I'm sure others have done it...just that I don't know--

Great pictures and great timing on a report. I am planning on running Carnage Canyon in the first week of July.
Any words of advice?

My set up is 4.5" lift JKU fully locked on 37's.
I have the same shocks as you do. Bilstein 7100.
Mine are the correct length for my set up.

Let us know the specifics of dates when you get closer. Might be able to come play.

Got a couple of pics of the drive shafts that I had to replace:

Hmmmmm. Drive shafts? The look like de facto sliders!
