Project-JK Highlights: Dusy Ershim Trail - A Tight Squeeze

The Dusy Ershim is a 31 mile long trail that cuts through the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and straddles the John Muir and Dinky Lakes Wilderness. It is an excruciatingly long trail that isn't so much as difficult as it is relentless. In fact, in addition to the beauty you will find, one of the things that make the Dusy so famous is the mile after arduous mile of squeezing your Jeep between closely planted trees. Now, I had always been told that a long wheel base vehicle couldn't do this trail and from experience, I can tell you that nothing could be further than the truth. While length will make things more challenging, it is the width of your vehicle that'll make it really tough. In this short Project-JK Video Highlight, you will see three different Unlimited model JK's going through one of the narrowest pairs of trees that we encountered on the trail and in it, you will see how the narrower you are, the easier it is to get through.

Hey Guys great videos, I grew up in Placerville, CA, live down here in Texas, and most people I run into in Texas think California boys don't know what 4wheeling is, I will direct them to your videos from now on. Time for Texans to go back to school.
