Looks like I'll be making a 1-2 week trip to Colorado this summer. Mostly a family trip but wanting to sneak away for a day or two to do some exploring. We're staying in/near Cripple Creek. I've been to Ouray, Telluride, and Silverton back in 2017 but I'm unfamiliar with this area of Colorado aside from going to Pike's Peak when I was a kid. Any trails in the area worth noting? Not looking for anything hardcore as I will likely be the only vehicle going. However, I'm well equipped with recovery gear and winch and am confident in my ability to un-fuck myself if I were to get stuck so something more than paved roads and perfectly groomed dirt would be nice!

33s, rear locker/ATRAC, winch, full skids, sliders, snorkel and high clearance front bumper on the 4Runner.

 

*Not safe for work toilet

 

Oh look a rock... mini moab was kinda fun. No one else that came through took any hard lines so it was just me and my buddy beating up our tacoma's being judged by bitch ass jeepers

 

Sounds about right. Last time I was out there were a bunch of jeepers heckling and shouting over my spotter. When it was my turn to spot I had to tell one guy to fuck off for yelling over me and giving shitty instructions to my then GF.

 

Yup super annoying. I only trust my spotter not drunk idiots.

 

Any carnage?

 

Well my drives driveshaft is silver in a few spots now. I need to forum search and see if anyone has found a way to tuck it up higher or I may see if Colorado drive line will make me one with thicc dom

 

Northern Colorado driveline rebuilt mine with heavier wall after I bent it

 

Hows it holding up? It seems to catch all the time on ledges I have to at an angle.

 

That’s kind of just part of the game with these long trucks. I have scraped it a few times since the rebuild but nothing bad

 

Sure is. Dropping down to 2.5 dia might help a bit too

 

They made mine with thicker wall /smaller od and it’s pretty stout. I have put a ding or two in it since then but I feel better about it than I did the factory one for sure.

 

And make my own?

 

Seems like the best option. Maybe dropping it down to 2.5" and .250 wall. I wonder if I have a new shaft made I could move the carrier bearing rearward make a cross member for it to bolt to, to raise the angle of the shaft.

 

I would figure out how much gain you’d get before doing all that work. Seems like a lot for an extra 1/4” clearance. I think 2.5/.250 is what mine is.

 

But I want to drive my braille damnit!

 

Square tube drive shaft ftw

 

Hell yeah!
