Desert Exploring in Idaho

[Boise]

We spent the day exploring some of the most remote desert areas in Idaho. We followed the Bruneau River Canyon south and crossed over at Indian Hot Springs.

Visited abandoned cattle ranches and homesteads along the way.

Abandoned old GMC winch truck left to the desert.

Finally popped back out to asphalt at the abandoned town of Grasmere, Idaho.

Hey Boise, you have my truck! Great looking ride and awesome photos of what looks like a super fun day! Your travel partner, what springs/suspension does he have? Any issues with the driveshaft? I am debating between skids or suspension. I am leaning more towards skids only because of the driveshaft issues….but always looking for input on the suspension.

The white Grenadier has the 2.5" Eibach lift. So far, so good with the drive shaft. I had that same lift for about 15k miles before switching to the Shadowmarq x King Shock 1.5" HD lift and no issues either. I think it's far less likely to have an issue with the smaller lift, unfortunately it's not covered under warranty either way if you do have an issue.

Great, thank you so much for the reply. DO either of you have underbody skids?

The white Grenadier has the full Agile skid plate kit. I don't have anything on my Grenadier yet. I'd like to get a few in the future.

Give me a shout if you need a trail partner in the future. I’m in the Eagle area.
