    I'm happy to say I'm $450 of that. How long does it take to get there from the Bay? I'm seriously considering heading out there with you guys.

    Hahaha perfect! That should handle my 45s perfectly!
    K haha. I'll make the maiden voyage KOH!
    oh that sound like a sweet idea! I dunno tho, not sure what would be better, swapping in the front end to the taco or just beefing up the te 4r. I think if I would do it I would just keep the 4r, beef it up and make it at dedicated trail rig, and not cut up the taco.

    P tree also has a bad ass build and he is at 3 I think.

    Yeah. They can be expensive. But you get what you pay for. Mine have been fantastic and yours look like they are top notch as well.

    Well I just got the green light as of now from the Fiance, so I might be a mad man behind you. I don't care for stopping at all either, but I might need to get a s/c by then just to keep up. Even if you will be on 37's. :D

    Yeah man as long as the wife and son are all good I'm going he's only going to be a little over a month old then so I need to make sure the fam is good before hand. She will have both grandma's there with her so I the help is there. She would be coming with me but right after MOAB were going back to Utah for a big family reunion and she don't want to go twice "hates long drives". I'm really thinking of making it a 3 week vacation seeing how there is only one week between MOAB and the reunion. That's if i can talk the wife into it :D

    Kinda wanna make some decals for the CO peeps to represent once we get to Moab. Here are some ideas. Not super high quality becasue I don't have the software for good graphic design. But MS word and an iPhone5 allowed me to get some ideas down. What do you all think?
    I may put something on there that signifies that we went to Moab and hand them out once I'm there, IDK

    THe las one got the letters shifted over a little somehow. The W in TW shouldn't be touching the C on the flag symbol. Can be fixed.

    Sounds good and I completely understand. I'm not 100% sure myself as things come up and my Fiance might need me home as well. We'll coordinate something as it gets closer.

    Is there a significance to the colors? Not that I am from CO but it just seems to be too colorful for my taste, or maybe I just feel like they conflict a little or something. haha

    haha. Just googled your flag and yep, it is your flag. haha

    The CO flag colors are symbolic of something. I know the gold is for the history of the gold rush here. Not sure if the RWB is for the US colors or if there is other meaning. I love the CO flag too, but thats just me.

    The flag of the state of Colorado consists of three horizontal stripes of equal width; the top and bottom stripes are blue, and the middle stripe white. On top of these stripes sits a circular red "C", filled with a golden disk. The blue is meant to represent the skies, the gold is said to either stand for the sunshine enjoyed by the state or the gold mined traditionally in the state of Colorado, the white represents the snowcapped mountains and the red represents the red colored earth (from Spanish colorado, meaning “red”).[1]

    The OG flag, in your first design, is pretty cool too:

    Yeah I think the CO seal could be cool on a sticker too. Hell, it might make a great tattoo one day. I love my home state.
