Colorado B.S. Thread

Sure, but for those of us that the OME is good enough, the difference in price to go full coilover setup is not a linear increase in performance... If I lived in AZ, SoCal, etc LT setup would be a no brainer, but for here ... not worth the price.

 

OK, not sure why you are asking at all than. We have given you our advice based on our experience here and you reject it, Fair enough.

 

This is the first time I followed the buy once, cry once philosophy when it came to choosing the suspension. Don't have any regrets, just took me forever to click that buy button.

 

I'm wanting to do the same. Between Icon and Fox at the moment.

 

my mall crawling popup tent camper towing minitruck does well on its 6112/5160 setup. Rides like it is planted to the road. Not Kings, Fox or Icon - but good enough for me.

 

He wasn't the one originally asking about the first gen OME setup stuff

 

^^^ Bingo, Lambo. You 2nd Gen'rs think all us silver 1st gen DCSB look the same?

 

Since I avoid the area usually... What type of traffic am I going to have to deal with at 0600 tomorrow morning trying to get to DIA?

Flight starts boarding at 0730, when should I be shooting to be at the airport? I'd rather be early and not worry about missing the flight vs sitting in stop and go bullshit.

 

Are you driving or taking the light rail? I have never done the parking dance/shuttle juggle, but that damn Tram Shuttle between the terminals always takes longer than I want ... plus waiting for the next available to board. +15 min for that hassle.

 

Parking at the airport.

I've tried that stupid ass train once... Not again. At least for driving from out of county to end up parking somewhere.

 

Coming from where?

 

Flight boards @ 7:30? Where are you parking @ DIA? DIA garage? Close-in parking, not garage? Off-site? From where are you traveling? Boulder area? I'd say leave by 5:30, puts you @ DIA around 6:15. Leaves time to park & get to terminal around 6:30. Half an hour to get to security. Puts you out at the gate around 7-7:15? If security wait times have been crap lately (I don't know), then maybe back it up 15 minutes and leave @ 5:15? That early and you should miss traffic.

This advice is worth exactly what you paid for it.

 

Coming in from BFE.. 285 to 470 to 70.

Just basically need to know when i25/i70 turns to shit.

Yeah, they were down to one security checkpoint the other week and no pre check line... had to wait with the peons.

 

Isn't DIA security a shit show from construction? So I heard

 

I live out by the airport, and I can tell you from experience that Tuesdays are the worst commuting days. Most traffic, crashes, etc. Since Pena starts at I70/I225, all it takes is one dumbass to crash and ruin it for everyone (and there are a lot of dumbasses out here). I wouldn't risk it...give yourself some padding.

 

pretty much. but i was there before there were many people last time so it wasnt nearly as bad as it shouldve been

 

I'm fine with a little cushion for the pushin. Just dont need to go overboard.

 

BFE? That's EAST, right? I always thought that was out towards Kansas. You mean BFU, then?

It's been a while since I drove through there. I'd guess that shitshow starts getting warmed up by 6:30. I'd probably plan getting through there by 6:15. If you are to 285 & C-470 by 5:15, you'd be in great shape, since the alternative -- C-470 east (i.e. towards Colo Springs) to I-25 North to I-225 to Pena will take about an hour drive time from 285 & C-470. But if you are at 285 & 470 by 5:15... you'll be through the I-70 & I-25 before the fat lady starts warming up.[/QUOTE]

 

Anyone else ever wave to another Tacoma owner? I have passed, pulled up to, and passed some other Tacos on the road and I usually just acknowledge them. Most of the time they are friendly back. I pulled beside a Bad Ass Black 2nd Gen about a week ago... and I gave him the "Maggot" Sign and he gave me the "Horns" back. Just wondering if other do it? You never know who you will meet on a local ride.. so I try and be friendly. Am I wrong? I am new to the forum and eventually will do some trails with people soon. Just asking.
