Driving a 30’ Box Truck Over Engineer Pass, in an attempt to prove SWB 4x4 drivetrains aren’t really needed....

[BritKLR]

Colorado + unmarked white truck/van + dude driver + not local + blindly following gps + always getting lost down mountain roads looking for a secret short cut+ no common sense + really wants too be a bud tender instead of delivery driver (less inventory accountability) = MJ/Hemp Delivery Driver in Colorado......

There is ample signage along CR-2 out of Silverton letting people know what they're in for. And how did NOBODY see this guy going up there and stop him?

They were in town busy stocking up on popcorn, beer, comfortable lawn chairs and starting a lottery on how far it would get.

A fine example of "hold my beer and watch this" syndrome.

It's been 2 days now. I need to know the conclusion of this saga!!

Engineer Pass is known as one of the most difficult and steep backcountry roads in the area, reaching a peak elevation of 12,800 feet, which requires a four-wheel drive and high-clearance vehicle.”

Seriously?

Engineer has been done by thousands of Subarus without any drama at all.

I saw an older Cadillac Eldorado up at the look out back in the early 80's. Not sure how he got there, didnt really care. I have also seen Subarus up there 4 or 5 times.

There's a joke around here that no matter how bada$$ your rig, no matter how tough the trail, there'll be a clapped out 1996 Subaru Outback on stock tires and suspension at the top.

Which makes a 1996 Subaru or any Subaru for that matter the ULTIMATE Overland Vehicle as they can go ANYWHERE, ANYTIME with LITTLE IF ANY Off-Road Driving Experience and you can Sleep in the back!

comparing the weight of a Subaru and a 30 foot box truck there is little surprise that a box truck probably won't make the route. So what happened to this story? What is the outcome?

There’s a 30-Foot Delivery Truck Blocking a 4WD Trail High in the Rocky Mountains

How did he even get that far in the first place?

The truck was still stranded near Engineer Pass as of Monday night morning according to Barger

Monday night morning hey? That's some good editing.

 

[jdlobb]

So is it still there?

ROAD TRIP ,quick before it snows and shuts the pass down. I'd put $20 in for gas to the willing reporter.
