The road toward Kanab is blasted into the solid rock of the canyon walls as it climbs up and out of Zion. That portal in the cliff face is on one of the switchbacks that is contained within the canyon wall.

Big rocks all around us on this highway.

After having the Albino Rhino for about a year, I decided it was time to install a front hitch receiver and a winch plate. My last truck, Goldilocks, had a bumper that was already setup for such things but this truck’s front bumper was never built to have a winch nor did it have a good recovery point.
My buddy Travis who pilots The Honey Badger helped me fab up what we needed for the Albino Rhino. He’s a really good fabricator.
Here’s the business side of the setup to have a front receiver and a winch plate.
Here’s the fully finished setup minus my hi-lift jack and a few wires needing to be tidied up. The setup works very well. I’ve winched a few vehicles out of difficult places with zero problems. Thanks for all the help, Travis! And thanks other Travis for letting us use your garage!
We took our old 4runner up on Yankee Hill and checked out a couple of little side trails we hadn’t been on before. It’s always interesting to see some new places in familiar areas.
