Colorado Trip Reports

Holy crap somehow got unsubscribed from this thread and missed the shenanigans. Eagle Rock looks like it was a good time.

 

Haha I know, I was just giving you crap. And actually, with two people in the bed, my suspension rode like a Cadillac. I think I might need an RTT or something to add some weight


I just finished editing the video and it's exporting now. Should be up soon.

 

who has the red 2nd gen?

 

Wrmathis, it's a clean truck

 

That would be me

 

Here is the video, be sure to watch it in HD

It's still a mall queen to me...I've only seen it once in person and it was on a road. And you weren't driving!

 

Awesome trail! Looks like a lot of fun.

 

Maybe you only see it on the road because you never go on trails...

 

^^^^

 

I go on trails...usually when no one is watching

On Sunday I went up Halfmoon Creek outside of Leadville to get some pics of me not mall-crawling. Was hoping to get up to the mill at the end, but encountered a locked gate instead

 

Very cool. I didn't realize you had gotten SR8's. I want to see them in person soon.

And that looks like just a dirt road so we are going to have to get pics of you on a real trail.

 

^^^^

 

So much snapping going on in here

 

I got the SR8's a couple weeks ago and had them installed last week. Halfmoon Creek is rated a 4 on TD, so yeah, basically a dirt road with some rocks in it.

It's bad when the PreRunner is making fun of me!

again.... Jk man! By the way nice wheels!

 

awesome video!

wish i could have gone...

 

Thanks! There's a few things on it that I wished have would of changed but oh well. There's more videos to come lol.

And there's always next time!

 

Squeaky Penguin, Night Eagle and I met some heep drivers from FR4x4 up at Moody Hill this morning.

I had never run the trail before, but I've heard there used to be a few obstacles on the trail. I'm guessing the forest service pretty much graded it all out as it was a really smooth, mellow trail.

The saving grace was the rock quarry which was a really fun place to play around. It really flipped my trigger that Brett and I could make it right up the quarry and only one of the jeeps would even attempt it. He quit after a pretty decent wheelstand that I failed to capture with the camera.





Leo was running his brand new lift, but has no armor yet so we excused him from attempting the upper part



After playing around at the quarry a bit, the other trucks started rolling in. It seemed like it was almost all toyotas. There were quite a few toyota truggys including a ginormous FJ (kinda) with a 4 cylinder cummins, some ridiculous axles and, I think, 44 inch tires.


This beast was so big that it took three vehicles to winch him up from where he broke a rear axle.


Another toyota flopped on the lower part.

but they got him righted and he went on to tear up some more of the area


A newer FJ cruiser attempted the quarry and rearranged his plastic bumper pretty good before getting winched the rest of the way.
