Colorado B.S. Thread

Thanks man! These are new resources to me. I'll claim I've done a lot of web searching prior to asking here, but I don't have the Facebook and they don't let you see much without an account. Wasn't aware the work on the alpine grade would affect the trail below Hancock. This is seriously helpful!


Kinda hoping Schofield might be passable as an alternative to Pearl, but not holding out hope either, those tricky spots are well shaded. But does anyone know if they repaired the rockslide from several years ago? That thwarted my last trip... I'll admit I'm just being lazy now, could probably find that info online, but either way I'm excited for the chance to revisit these areas. Thanks again!

 

Pearl pass was open when I cruised over it 9/17/2021.
Trailsoffroad.com - another good resource, says Pearl Pass is currently impassible.

 

Someone needs help troubleshooting Turbo install.

thoughts anyone??

 

steering rack and or tie rod ends. Up and down would be wheel bearings, that looked pretty tight.

 

Yeah, Rack or tie rod is a good call out

I had something similar and it was the rack

 

Inner and outer tie rods are new on both sides

 

rack rack city

 

wheels on dry pavement with a trusty partner turning the wheel back and forth very slowly, put your hand on the rack or inner tre and see if you can feel the point where it clunks

 

Where's a good place to get a new steering rack? I'll probably have to do mine soon. 250k on the stock unit

 

Hope everyone had a great 4th!

 

@Chadr7858 and I just crawled under there. My rack bushings are shot. Hopefully rack itself is ok

 

Energy makes a pretty good set of bushings, better than stock.

 

polyurethane?

 

yes

 

Camper stuff.
It came with one 12vdc outlet, which I have plugged a double outlet thing with two USB connections and it's bulky and shit gets unplugged with me crawling over it and it has a very annoying bright green LED thaat lights shit up way too much at night so time for an upgrade.

Quick charge 3.0 with aluminum body and a switch to shut it off.


had to make my own wall plate as there was no way to get fingers back there to do a nut.


the assembled unit.


Top is original.
Center USB is tied into the top wiring.
The bottom was added as well to be dedicated to the fridge. It has it's own 10ga run to a 20amp breaker. Hopefully this will lessen the voltage drop. And stop me from unplugging the thing.


No draw voltage. It is off by .1 volts due to Ohms Law. The charge controller showed 13.0 vdc.


voltage drop with the phone charging.

 

TW express wanted. Anyone heading to castle rock? I have a baby pack and play that needs to be returned to a friend down there. In return they will give you baby shoes to return to me. Free six pack in it for ya.

 

Have you ran them personally? Do they get loud over time?

 

I run them in the Tundra and the Tacoma, they don't make any noise.
They really don't move tbh. Really tightens up the feel of the steering.
