    I'm in the springs.. You're like 2 hours west of me. CG has a ton of trails around it.

    I was just up in Bald Mountain Gulch which is right around CG. 2 Hours sounds about right, my parents live in Woodland Park and it usually takes me an hour and half give or take to get there.

    At least it wasn't the pink milkshake issue either!

    dude!

    two months ago I added an external tranny cooler to prevent the pink milkshake..

    i left the transmission hose connections at the radiator open..

    guess where the antifreeze is leaking out of?

    Dang that sucks! I am going to swap out the radiator after I get through this winter. I am hoping to have Shrockworks full skids, lift kit, rims, radiator and full fluid change done after winter. I am hoping my house looks like a Toyota parts store.

    I might hit you up in the future when I am ready to start wiring stuff up.
    That is a great spot to put the compressor.

    I am curious about this meet. .. :spy:

    is it a picnic type of meet, or an actual offroad/wheelin type of meet?
