UTAH (and Surrounding Areas) BS Thread

I saw that. Also saw a Google maps traffic report of the canyons and Wasatch boulevard. Complete clusterf*. Not even worth it.

 

It's worth it, 10 times over. Literally waist deep blower.

 

Tell me more, where are you seeing improvement?

 

Friend of mine was driving the car that got hit by the avalanche. He had his wife and two kids with him. They're all totally ok by some miracle. Holy shit, that's a gut check.

 

The truck likes to hold gears now. No more gear hunting. No word on fuel mileage because I've been driving crazy. The low end power is dramatically increased and that torque bump at 3500 is not as severe now. The upper end power is also dramatically increased.

 

That's scary man. Glad they're okay. It's so odd to see how small lake City this place is.

 

LCC has 17 avy chutes you have to drive through to get to Alta. If that road was proposed today, theres not a chance it would be approved.

I thought a fair bit about bringing the avy beacon with me after big dumps just to give me a boost if things go wrong.

Glad your friends are ok!

 

Fucking scary. That road is no joke during avalanche cycles. I agree with @Gunshot-6A, not a bad idea to wear your beacon while driving on snow days.

 

I’ve considered this tune. I’d be interested to see a long term impressions for it.

 

For sure. I can report back later. I just used the 15 for a little bit today and going about 20 miles at 75-78 mph, I saw my avg mpg at 24. Phenomenal.

 

Do you have bigger tires?

 

36 slide paths to be exact! It's the most avalanche prone highway in the lower 48. Gotta give the UDOT folks credit when credit is due. Sorry to hear about your friends. My mom was caught in an avalanche in the 90s when she was pregnant with my brother. Crazy stuff!

 

Unreal, glad they're ok. That'll really put things in perspective ... hang on while I go hug my kids

 

Negative. All stock. The only thing I have is sliders.

Also, I was headed northbound when I saw those numbers. I just drove it southbound and it was a little bit more fuel hoggy. 18 mpg.

 

I went and had a beer with my buddy this evening. He and his wife were still a bit shook up, but laughing about it some. We were joking that this was the first slide he's been caught in after almost two decades backcountry skiing. Their kids (13 & 10) were totally unphased!

No real damage to their car amazingly. Also, udot was first on the scene and saying something about not suing.

 

Damn!

 

Finally back in a truck

2013 white DCSB. Thing is siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick.

 

Ok, who was it? Little Cottonwood:

Congrats! Let's see it!

I transitioned from 1st gen to 2nd gen a few years ago. Definitely takes some getting used to, kinda moving from small to medium.

 

Yeah, I remember when I swapped into mine in Nov 2016. So much room for activities! And bluetooth!
