Colorado B.S. Thread

Definitely interested in hearing the details once figured out... things which are popping in my head right now are:
- attack from the east, i'm guessing
- means by which to lift the truck to install wheels (any lock lugs to deal with? if yes, did the lock lug key survive?)
- can the transmission be shifted?
- bring the trailer up as far as possible, or leave in a safe place and bring the truck to it?
- brakes and steering working on the truck? likely will need a recovery rig in front to pull and one in back to brake, and an extra right seater who is willing to steer
- pull pal/land anchor needed? since it'll be above tree line (Weston Pass is just under 12,000 feet)

I'll add myself to the list of volunteers.

EDIT: Don't mind me... I'm not trying to be pushy. I'm the planning type.

 

Plan is to drive trailer right up to it. We'll have to back down from the pass but it shouldn't be bad. And someone pulled it out of the hole I sunk in so the trailer can go in there and it'll be level with the deck to drag it on. The pass has a large parking lot area so turning around there will not be an issue at all. Oversimplifying... but that's the plan so far. Warm weather means (fingers crossed) there will be minimal snow. And it seems like hunters are still up in the area... at least there was a first gen tundra that was parked not far from my truck this morning.

Edit... a set of wheels/tires would probably make it quite a bit easier if there are any out there. I did check and all of the lug nuts loosen.

 

I don’t have a winch, but would be down to help anyway possible. I’ll be back late Thursday night, and I’ll be around all weekend. If the truck and trailer fall through I can try to get a trailer.
Let me know!

 

Is it strictly a module (or something?) in the seats themselves or part of the whole computer system?

Wiring up the seat heaters in my Forester seats to my truck doesn't seem so OEMish. Plus like I said, my ass has been fine without seat heaters for 27 years.

 

No doubt. But it's a risk I'm not willing to take.

Sorry for the shit you're dealing with, man. But TW is a solid crew that will prevail.

 

In my truck it’s hooked to the whole computer system (OEM). It automatically clicks on when the ambient temp is below 39. It starts on high and gradually goes to low then automatically shuts off. I can control it from my head unit or a switch on the dash.

 

where is this located?

 

I have my OEM wheels/ tires/ long still and can bring them

 

Weston Pass

 

Thanks, did some searching last night and found it. About 3 hours away up 285 it looks like.

 

That'd be awesome. Just to put it on the trailer easily, then drop it here and throw it back on the rims.

 

Let me know if we need stuff Brian has and I can grab it from him if his 4Runner is down @thefatkid

 

I'm guessing i missed that... i didn't have time to read the last pages i skipped. But I've got two hi lifts, a large hi lift base, that lift/jack stand, a tree strap, 30ft strap and i think a few shackles and Maxtrax. I have the d rings that survived the fire but not using those again. I also have a cordless impact even though the lugs are all now loose.

Maybe a few more straps, d rings and the wheels/tires should git'r dun. And a snatch block. What's left of mine don't look promising.

The front and rear points are good on the truck... Hitch and the winch mount.

 

Just went back and read it. Either way, four wheels and tires will work as long as they hold air. Just going to use them to get it on the trailer. If there's enough clearance, might just swap out just the front or back since I'll take them back off once we drop it here.

 

A little something to brighten your morning:

 

Late!

This was pulled out of a Commercial Real estate article on Apartment forecast. Just some more numbers that support our current high home cost (Rent or buying).

Annual in-migration for the Denver metropolitan area has averaged nearly 33,000 people per year since 2010. Metro Denver has experienced annual job growth of 2 percent or above in 67 of the past 69 months. Denver’s economy is more diversified than it’s ever been. As long as our economy keeps churning, strong absorption and in-migration should continue.
