NYCO's '06 Boosted Blue Betty

Awesome pictures! Some of them really remind my of the Kokopelli

 

Judging by the light the work day was 4 hrs and play time was 8hrs?

Love the Black Canyon. There used to be a nice trail you could hike the entire north rim on it.

 

More like drive to GJ, work 45m then done

I'll take a day's pay driving my truck any day!

 

Not bad with the fridge. It's the cooler that made them break

Where's the crested butte pics!?

 

He might still be driving home.. That storm was nasty.

 

stayed at the old town inn

got back to the inn from the brick oven and it was starting to snow...woke up and it was still snowing



knew it was going to be a good day...

didn't take many photos as it was dumping all day

got back to my truck for a beer and food break


after beer break, i went back for a couple last runs...there's a section called monument where i hit some deeeeep pockets..probably best turns of the day...close to waist deep

then the sun tried to come out...just enough for me to see the summit




windy as fuck up there!


then the snow came back and socked the mountain in again...

looking forward to going back there...talked to a few locals and ski patrol and got me excited for the good stuff, but the coverage was still pretty boney so i stayed to the better coverage and found plenty of good stuff to play in

fuck driving sucked!

much of the drive back down to the gunnison valley was this..


then gunnison valley

 

Yea buddy! I just booked my flights for crested butte. Feb 28- mar 7. Hopefully they get another hundred inches or so before then

 

I'd hope so too! They're over 100 already but judging by how they reported Saturday, they have had well over that..

I'll see if I can make it out that Sunday to ride.

You staying in town or at the mtn town?

 

Most likely getting a cabin in Almont. If you don't make it out we should grab a beer in Denver. I'll be spending Thursday night there and flying home Saturday around noon

 

Nice Bob, CB is the titties. The terrain on the north face is second only to Silverton in my mind.

 

North face and teocalli bowl are my favorite spots on the mountain.

 

they're both on the hit list for next trip...third bowl sounds fun too

 

can't stop thinking about getting the truck up to moab shape

i'm pretty set on 315/75/16 STTs, but tough decision between

FN Wheels Five Star


SCS SR8


or SCS F5


leaning toward the bronze for the new setup... i'm leaning toward the SR8 mainly due to the backspacing...4" versus 3.52" on the FN and 3.5" or 4.5" on the F5...3.5" may be too much and 4.5" may not be enough

then waiting on TC LCAs and coilovers...i'll need to order up a new leaf pack (leaning toward the dakars again or Toytec Boss)...then tear into the dual battery setup when i get that in the mail...and get a new set of sliders put on...

 

Those bronze SR8s will look awesome with your truck color and the 4" BS I think is ideal for TC LCAs. I rub mine a bit with 4.5 BS. I was thinking of putting on some Wheelers stealies @ 4" but I might just swap out the whole suspension instead, time will tell.

 

SR8s!!!

what i want so bad..but i couldn't afford new tires for them haha


also..hot damn Bob! New magazine is the shit. I like it!

Also...i wanna be a trail team member

 

go ahead and shoot jim an email jim@tctmagazine.net

looks like he'll be the contact to get people signed up

 

Will do

Why are you thinking of changing rims and tires again? MTRs not doing it for you?

 

nothing wrong with the MTRs



reasons will be explained more later

 

After running STTs and MTRs, I think the MTRs are a better tire. Just my two cents, not that you asked for it haha.
