Colorado B.S. Thread

Yeah i was hoping to be able to back out, but it was that nasty wet clay-goo goodness so it was sliding wherever it wanted.

 

Moab!?

 

I credit the crocs and maxtrax.

 

Do they make tires with croc tread yet? Crocs with duratrac tread?

 

I've thought about siping the croc tread.

Unfortunately they are almost smooth... Time for a new pair!

 

So I am looking at the picture in @Stig ’s post and the TV is playing “The Comancheros” with John Wayne circa 1961 showing a similiar scene. IMDB lists the film’s locations as Castle Valley, Professor Valley, Fisher Towers in Moab, Utah. I believe that must be a sign that a trip to Moab is in my near future.

 

Correct.. Although south Utah and Moab don't require a sign or a reason to visit imo.

 

I think he also did a set of 5.29 for @JoeCOVA.

 

Yup Brian did mine. Awesome guy. I dropped the gears off with him and once he was done, I drove the truck up and he swapped them out. I highly highly recommend him.

 

Did somebody say husky?

 

Where is to other half?

 

Thanks for the tags @YamaDirtrider , @w.adventures , @GoldenBrew , @JoeCOVA . Sorry I haven't been around the last couple months much. Had a close family member diagnosed with ALS and his progression has been very rapid. Kinda not felt like being on the boards much.

Yes, I have cores to build 3rd gen diffs front and rear provided you have a locker truck. I might have the non locker 8" version.

 

This one?

 

That's rough man, sorry to hear that. Hang in there.

 

If you're ever in the Arvada area let me know- would be more than happy to meet up so you can check them out. I personally don't think they look gold at all. That's why i went with these. @CODOTUS could maybe chime in on the color.

 

I might take you up on that as I have a banquet I have to attend on the 6th in Denver.

 

Yea they don't look gold at all. These are the wheels I am getting too. I wanted to see them in person before I pulled the trigger. They look more like a gunmetal bronze if that makes sense.

 

I have always been amazed at how quickly/little water it takes to make that bentonite go to shit. You see those signs that say "roads may become impassible when wet", posted on a nice long flat stretch or nothing really serious and you think that's got to be a joke or they must be talking about something up ahead but you never see it. Then you learn.

 

yeah she is super goofy, makes me laugh all of the time. her new favorite game is dropping her tennis ball in the toilet
