Here's some pics from this past weekend on Middle St. Vrain

Saw some dude high side his truck in the middle of this crossing when he went too far to the right...


CSUVIPER's junktruck looking mean as shit


Crazy guy in the bed of the truck having waaaayyyy too much fun


Crawlin over a rock


Just a lil bumpy!


Playing around on a lil' boulder before heading out

 

SHIT, i overpaid. ha ha ha

I went with a shop over on colfax called Extreme Autoworks and couldnt be happier with the tint job. They use a plotter cutter for the windows so they never touch a razor to the actual glass. I got the solamatrix tint which i heard is better than the 3M stuff.

I think they have a 10% off coupon on there site somewhere too

 

Great images!!!!!

 

How did you get 3.75" in the rear? I thought you just did an AAL to the stock pack back there? Aren't those only 1.75"s of lift? Or did you add a block too?

Regardless if you are wanting to upgrade the front suspension with something adjustable ditch the spacers. Your ride be a lot smoother if you get the adjustable billy's and some lift springs. I have the adj's like Kappes only I reused by stock tops (ToyTec has an option like this) and could not be happier. I have the All Pro Expo springs in the rear which are a full 3" lift depending on bed weight and I have a slight gait front to rear. Also you cannot bring the front up any more that 2.5"s with stock UCA's if you want to maintain alignment and some life in your CV's Maybe 2.75". You will clear the 285's just fine with that.

 

what the phuck did I just watch?

 

Checked out their site, looks good. Think I will end up heading there...do you remember how much it cost you?

 

real beefy and solid armor for the rear diff...wish i would fit on mine

 

i think the total was around $130 for the front two windows only. I went with the legal limit instead of 20% which ends up being like 27 to 30% on the front. I cant tell a difference between the front and the rear OEM tint.

They also had it done within an hour and a half so i just waited while the truck was being done. Great guys and quality work. Don't use Windex or any of that crap on your tint though, that's why you see people driving around with purple ugly tint. The ammonia in Windex and other window cleaners can harm the tint. They recommend a product but i use Stoner Invisible glass cleaner and its supposed to be safe for tint as well.

 

anyone know what the weather is doing up high? im planning on hiking the lincoln group and maybe quandry on friday (depends on weather, conditions, how we feel, etc.). is there any snow sticking up there yet? I know longs is starting to accumulate snow near the keyhole

 

near abasin yesterday and this morning







but i think it supposed to clear up by the weekend so the amount of snow that will stick will be minimal...might be a little slick on the rocks but shouldn't be any problem...just cold when you get up top

 

whats the plan for sat ? time meeting place ?

NVM

 

thanks bob, I saw the picture from their facebook page yesterday.....im so ready to put the skis back on

 

Idaho springs McDonalds at 10 i think

 

haha, already got my bindings mounted up on my rock board...wax will be going on the boards this week possibly...if the glaciers get any snow this weekend i'll be taking some turns

 

i just ordered my yakima rocketbox 14 from REI the other day, boards are ready to go, the season is approaching quick. I heard opening day could be NOV 4th this year.
