Run to the Hills! - Jason's Completely Stalled Colorado GTFO Build

It's all about that 1/2 beer 1/2 lemonade!

 

Goddammit, who invited the beer snobs?!

 

Looks damn good @jubei777! Glad you were able to save a ton of grill!

 

Summer Shandy is the best breakfast beer just saying

 

That easily goes to Dogfishes Beer for Breakfast or Founders Breakfast Stout.

 

Never had those

 

Damn, the roasting is strong in this thread.

You better get that thing on a reputable trail before people start standing outside of your house with pitchforks.

 

Close enough

 

"Brick, I've been meaning to talk to you about that. You should find yourself a safe house or a relative close by. Lay low for a while, because you're probably wanted for murder."

 

Love that movie

 

Like the Kokopelli with a ton of other bad ass mother fucking first gens?!

 

Me too.

I catch hell from the badasses, but what's so wrong about her being beautiful AND capable, right?

I gotta try these. It's been forever since I've had beer for breakfast!

I'd like to think that they all want to see her out on the trails as much as I do.

Or they're just assholes

Shit yeah! I'm so fucking stoked.

I've got so much shit to do, but it's finally coming along! The next 'big' project is my dual battery/electrical/OBA setup. But I can do most of that live and then take a weekend to hook everything up. I'll probably leave the winch off the truck until I have the contactor mounted up and everything wired in.

 

You need to live a little! Beer for breakfast is on par with a shower beer!

Oh and I'm just an asshole!

Just get her on the trails

 

Aren't we all?

 

Uhhh yeah probably ha

 

I'm not an asshole, just a smart ass.


Although I am still shaking my head at reducing approach angle.



I bet that changes after you smash the bumper into a few rocks. I would love a better approach angle.

 

I have to second this, though I'm glad you were able to save your grill @jubei777. Are you going to add any filler plates to the bumper? Looks like there's a fair amount of space now.

 

Well Jason and I are on the same tires, with the same bumper so we'll see what the comparison is like. Though he's on much nicer coilovers while I'm on clapped out eibachs/billys.

 

Calm down, lads.

A 1" reduction in height on angled faces like the stinger, winch plate, and bumper skid amounts to hardly any real meaningful change in approach angle.

Don't make me bust out the trigonometry on you guys. You know I'll do it.

And no, I'm not planning on adding filler plates any time soon. I have more than a few issues with the design and build quality of this bumper, and I don't want to invest any more time and money into it.

 

You'll need to wheel some pretty challenging trail to get to the point where it makes a difference, but it will make a difference.

Doubt you'll get close to touching your front bumper on the Kokopelli.

By that logic you should be on 33s.

Every inch counts.

It's frustrating you you try an obstacle and can't even get the front tires to it cause you're smashing your bumper into a rock.
