Colorado B.S. Thread

Yep no problem. Ya radical hill scared me more than black bear did.

 

Noted. Heights don't get to me, but that headcut coming down Radical Hill had me white knuckle on the steering wheel...

 

Define installed. I'd be happy to help, but it's a bit of a drive and while mine is 'installed' it isn't permanently mounted. Also, you've got a 16 so I'm not sure if it has the same holes to run wires through and such. It's really not hard. Right gauge wire direct to battery and ground, make sure antenna mount is grounded, tune antenna. Boom, done.

If you've been down it, you know what to expect. I've seen pictures/heard tales of full size suburbans going down it. Driver skill and umpteen point turns...

@aero3685 I'm sure, but not being directly involved, knowing anybody, or having all the details fresh in my mind or in front of me, I didn't want to armchair it too hard.

 

Black Bear is done annually with Suburbans, they're just much slower on the switchbacks and the ledges.

 

Blackbear isn't that bad. Like everybody said, it's the switchbacks during the descent.
Ran it in a 64 Scout 800 with pump-up drum brakes and a coughing carb. I lived.

 

Google "black bear pass switchbacks". The picture that comes up the most in the results is the worst switchback. High in the results is also a youtube video from 2011 that shows the off camber part starting at the 6 minute mark, going through the section where that rollover above was, and stopping where people back up for the switchback. Part 2 then shows that switchback.

 

Is that where we came down that ice hill

 

You may have live but we all know you lost your sanity.

 

Watching it right now!

 

Yeah, but you're the Jack Palance of TWers.

 

No that was slaughterhouse. Radical hill is on the other side of redcone. But ya that scared the crap out of me too. I thought I was going to get my first body damage.

 

A villain?

 

There was a UTV that did. Guy got scarred halfway down and tried to turn around.

Sams pass extravaganza. Stony, BB, Ophir, engineer. Plus a few 14ers. lol

 

Hey this guy was asking how to set up his stripper lights in the craw space. Or something like that.

 

Decided to go topless for the first time since December 2012. I build a hoist in the garage that will lift the topper off with the push of a button.

 

I'm gonna try to do it in a year or two

 

Anyone know of a gun shop (preferably in the south metro area) that will do a private party transfer? I've talked to a couple local shops near to me and have come up blank.

 

There's a good chance I'll be leaving Colorado the end of this year or start of Next, so I probably won't get another chance this good to do it.

 

Get rid of the light socket and wire it into this https://www.superbrightleds.com/mor...-mean-well-led-power-supply--lpv-series/1172/
Then the output will run quite a few led strips, and those will be easy to wire since its 12volt

 

Triple J armory in Littleton will.
