Colorado B.S. Thread

Weight question?
I have a 2018 TRD OR with a 3 inch lift and stock suspension at the moment. I'm adding a hiline bumper and winch that will weigh about a 150 pounds max. What kind of sag should I expect with this setup if any? Suspension upgrades just aren't on the table at the moment. It's just a spacer and block kit. I'm new to the all the lift and suspension mods.
Thanks guys.

 

Im pretty sure it's just spacers man everything else is stock I'm going to post a photo with my thread for better accuracy.

 

Nicely done! How much do you think you will charge for one. I eventually want something like this.

 

That Grom is hilarious. In fact, all of them are with their proportions.

 

I love ours. Thing is a blast to ride.

 

How soon before that exhaust gets ripped off? Or are the knobby tires just for looks?

 

Fire roads. It’s the bike that we will take camping with us/ river shuttle. That’s right, I am that camper now. The suspension on this thing is terrible! Next set of tires will probably be a set of sticky street tires.

 

I went camping in Freemont County last weekend and it looked like business as usual. People were picnicking along the Arkansas, Phantom Canyon looked like a frat party, Texas Creek was close to capacity with trailers at the trailhead, Red Canyon Park was a highway and to top it off there was no fire ban.

I stopped and talked to a local sheriff's deputy to report a dog loose and chasing cars and we chatted for a bit. I got the distinct impression they're over the panic. Nobody even had a muzzle handy in case Karen wanted to raise a fuss.

Long story short: My trip to America this weekend was fantastic.

 

I was down there last weekend camping and riding Oil Well Flats. Went and did the Bank loop both ways before heading home Sunday - Saw a couple campers packing up, and there were cops at the main campground/entrance. Didn't stop to find out what they were doing though.

 

Here comes the second wave…

 

Thats exactly what i wanted too, except the deck on those isnt long enough for my needs nor is the rack tall enough to fit my motorcycle underneath. Plus the prices for those START at $15,400 and thats too much for me.

My goal was to come in at 1/2 the price of that trailer youre looking at, i got close but not exactly half.

To reproduce my trailer id need to charge $8500. To make a smaller one to better fit tacomas i could probably knock some cost off.

Things i cant control the price of like the suspension, wheels, tires, hitch and powder coating make up $3000 of that.

 

but mine has great independent suspension not that weak ass axle.

 

Like the one they warned about in Georgia that didn't happen?

 

Run for your lives!
Shut everything down!
Burn it all to the ground!

If only we had a big brother who could tell us all what to do....

 

Here we go again. I guess I'll let myself out yet again.

 

So just for shits and giggles I pulled some numbers. Fremont County with it's Devil May Care attitude towards the pandemic from the start has half the cases and deaths of neighboring Teller county which is under strict quarantine measures. Fremont County has almost double the population.

I took Shelf Road up to Cripple Creek to get home on Sunday. It's scary to see the Ghost Town it's turned into. I did some exploring around town and honest to God, I saw two other cars the entire time. I don't know how a community comes back from that.

 

Anyone figure out the bureaucratic nightmare trying to figure out which areas allow camping and which ones don't due to COVID? Was planning a trip to Moab for memorial day but just saw they closed all BLM primitive camping in Grand County but are allowing hotel stays ... Started looking at Emery or San Juan county restrictions but I'm just going in circles on the gov websites.

I get the impression they may give out of staters the stink eye.

 

I think I bought the 2nd Grom out of Sun Honda. It was awesome. Sold it for what I paid a 9 months later to a guy running a motorcycle instruction course at American Furniture in Fredrick. I think I prefer my CRF230M though.

 

Buddy got hit and run while parked, his truck was straight in that spot. Sounds like insurance isn't being fun to deal with. Going to take a look at it tonight, any particular big expense items to look for?
