Colorado B.S. Thread

I'm a school teacher so don't carry obviously. And won't go down that road of discussing arming teachers, maybe a little... Personally I think it's dumb. I do own a nice little collection though but will keep those for home defense. No Rambo here, though one can dream...

 

I went a searching about Kobalt 24v Max power tools. From what I can tell, they are OK. Perhaps a verdict is not yet in. They are considered better than their older 18v stuff. But compared to all the other cordless 1/2" impact wrenches... $169 for 650 ft-lbs would seem to be a killer deal.

 

I remember yesterday when I said I decided on a tire size. Good times, yesterday. 285, 275...ToyTec, Dobinsons, 2.5” lift, 3” lift. Stupid budget.

 

LMAO... Lester Holt and NBC Nightly News breathlessly report that North Korea Test Fires a Weapon! OMG! The sky is falling!

LMAO... it was a "500m" battlefield weapon. So NK test fires a new anti-tank guided weapon (most probable), and NBC reports "North Korea Test Fires a Weapon!!!" Good grief.

 

I have officially gone full dad mode.

 

Duracrox for your feet?

 

Fixed my rtt zipper with a new runner. Works like new. Took less than 5 minutes to swap out.

If anyone else has a bad zipper runner on theirt travel cover I can point you in the direction of where to get one

 

If they were duracrox the sidewall would blow out.

 

And if they were KroxBro2s, they'd come with an #expoAF patch.

 

Finally

 

As folks have posted previously....good luck for a place to even park! We had always stayed at Slickrock Campground but got our reservations in MONTHS early. You should still go and have fun. I did it a bunch of times in my '93 YJ but then the crowds got way too insane.

I actually prefer going well afterwards when the knuckleheads die down and it is much more fun to have NO crowding on the trails or obstacles.

Once the Taco-O-Justice is ready I will be heading out to Moab. If you have never been it is a MUST DO...tons of fun, but as I get older in life the crowds are a bit much for me.

 

Seriously. Now I just need to fix the Velcro straps

 

@Mnewell

Imo, it'll likely be a mess, what are you looking for? Hiking, camping, wheeling?

San Rafael swell, the wedge overlook are a couple large areas off the top of my head that I'd hit before going anywhere near EJS.

But, I hate people, traffic, and crowds when I'm out in the wilderness. Just to clarify... I hate people and traffic all the time, not just in the wilderness.

 

Kris did you find help for you install? I'm down in Monument and am not a TACO expert but can wrench a Jeep Suspension with the best of em. Let me know when/if you need help....

 

Since it’s the passenger side and it’s in both directions I don’t know how applicable this is but:

It could be dirty contacts on the switch assembly you are using. That’s what my issue was but it was the driver’s side up only (which is the most used contact on my vehicle).

Does your passenger window do this when you use the driver’s side switch assembly and the passenger side switch assembly?

 

On Monday I ended up getting lucky and got some sites at Slickrock campground for this weekend. This trip will mostly just be to get a feel of the area, I’m planning on going back when it’s not crazy and doing more wheeling. We’re gonna do some fishing on the Green/Colorado rivers in the area and do some light wheeling on Sunday. I don’t mind crowds for this trip as I’ll spend most of my time familiarizing myself with the area, and it sounds like there will be a lot of cool stuff to checkout.

 

I'm leaving town at noon tomorrow to attend the craziness but mine will be more sightseeing and hiking; kids first trip to Moab. Dalton Wells, Willow Springs Road and Behind the Rock (RT last year) are the ones I am hoping for with dispersed camping sites. Open for other suggestions if you got em!
