Run to the Hills! - Jason's Completely Stalled Colorado GTFO Build

The word is that more sizes will be coming out later this year.

 

oh..

I thought the bird was the word..

 

Welcome back, Monte!

Not sure if you were aware of this thread or not. No options for us 1st Gen losers.

 

Well...shit. that's lame.

 

Time to scratch them skids! If your t-case RAT skid is anything like my skid row's, I'd recommend reinforcing it.

 

Hell yes! I can't wait to finally get this thing on the trails. There's still a shit ton of stuff to do, but most of it can be done on the fly.

And good call on the TC skid. We'll see how it holds up with the wheeling that I do, but I don't want to spend too much time on it. It'll get pulled soon for a combo crossmember/skid for the crawl box.

Btw, it was awesome to see Johnny on the trails, brother! 5.29s are the shit, right?!

 

Oh hell yeah. It's nuts that just letting go of the clutch the thing just goes. I had so much more control in the rocks. Of course I had to still clutch and brake and gas and it's still more difficult than an auto but much more controllable I feel. Really only smelled clutch in one bad spot.

 

Finally got to check out InSain Fab and chat with Corey. Super cool dude, and he took a good amount of time out of his Friday evening to talk with me. I appreciate that.

Hopefully we can execute my ideas for a new bed rack setup that will bring the tent down about five inches as well as provide spare tire and gear storage since I really don't want a swing out or a tire gate.

We'll see how it goes!

 

Turns out this truck is pretty damned capable off road!

Ran a few trails today, including some fairly rough stuff, and she did an outstanding job!

 

Finally! Looks like fun, jealous!

 

What trail did you try her out on?

 

Looks damn good doing it too.

 

Awesome man! Finally put the beast to work!

 

Thanks, Zane!

We hit up Bunce, Jake. Ended up running Ironclads three times just to hit that step obstacle in the picture because it was so fun. We also ran Plane Crash, which was no joke. That was really challenging.

Thanks, Carter! She's definitely purty! I still stare at her all the time; especially the front end. The grille just tied everything together perfectly.

She did great, Mike! Zero issues on the trails, and she did everything I asked her to do. Having the e-locker was awesome, and it engaged and disengaged flawlessly. Now it's time to button her up and get ready for October.

It's funny and ridiculous, but I really could have used my ARB Twin, or my CO2 tank. Both of which are still on a shelf in my garage

 

Truck looks great Jason!!!
Nice run to stretch the legs!!
Oh and get that ARB in there

 

Thanks, Rebecca!

It was pretty lame airing back up when I have an awesome compressor and an (empty) CO2 tank. It definitely lit a fire under me.

It's always been one thing waiting on another, so I need to be smart about how to get things done even if it means tweaking it a little later after I do something else rather than waiting.

 

You sure that's your truck? I've never seen it offroad

Glad you finally got out and used it

 

I wannnnaaaa playyyyyyyy

 

Thanks, Josh!

It was so much damn fun. Looking forward to checking out more trails once I get back from vacation!
