    Are you ruling out sawtooth I guess? I was thinking about seeing if he could just cut the legs at an angle like bamf does. I think it would be easier that way anyway.

    Oh yeah for sure the left is the way to go but from the pics it looks like the right side has been really opened up now. Having done it twice now the left side is the only way I will attempt.

    Only bad thing about having it around here is that there's absolutely no where close to use it. There are some good spots to jump railroad tracks (that always gets some weird looks from people) :D. I'm not really into jumping though, front end is entirely too heavy right now for that.

    We took a 3k mile trip through Canada last year and the truck saw some pretty deep snow and over 400 miles in 4wd Hi through Vermont, NH, and Maine backroads. It did great!

    Thanks Sean! Probably going to knock Greeley off the list. It was only on there because my wife would like to work for a magnate hospital. Looks like they have one.

    Thanks buddy! :D

    Roger that! :eek: That's why I wanted to ask you guys about these cities. Internet searches don't give you the real story.
    Cow shit...:rofl:

    I'm having doubts about making it to Durango, it may be too far out of the way with the time we have. It may be one of the cites we visit AFTER we move.

    Right on! I think we are on the same page. We plan on renting for a year or so, unless we find out dream home or something really quick.
    Thanks a bunch for the website info! :D I'll be looking into that today!

    There are plenty to chose from; especially in the Morrison area if ur near it . Depends on set up..u wheeling alone? I would highly advise against that.

    I have a saying about Colorado and the cities. If the front range were a woman's body fort Collins would be the titties, boulder or the springs would be the va hee na, but Greeley is the armpit and pueblo is the asshole. You may come to appreciate an armpit or an asshole, but there are always better places.

    Colorado springs is a shit hole! I advise against living there at all cost. I went to high school there an moved out as soon as I turned 18. And my parents live in a really nice area still shitty. So many wanna be thugs and people who think they are gang bangers. Boulder the hippies can have it, beautiful place but the liberals and trust fund babies have ruined it. Ft Collins is ok, lived there for a bit. I like Denver, but am looking at a place in evergreen now.

    Agreed. I've never had any va hee na that didn't cause me probs, so boulder fits that description, maybe we can say since pueblo and the springs are both down there they are one big asshole. Yeah I exclude mountain towns because it's no contest. I would rather live in the mountains, but my wife has her reservations about that. I don't like vail, way too rich for my blood. And I partied there once and the rich kids were too much to handle.
