    I know you were just messin... Been looking at places like Pagosa Springs and Montrose to retire. Also looking at Las Cruces, NM. I am in my mid-50's.

    I must have just missed the snow when I was out there by about 10 days.

    Would like to do this trip next year. None of the crazy routes with rock crawling. So far I only have a 3" lift and BFG ATs 265/75/16s. Will I need skids to make the trip, or even beefier tires?

    I know this is an old thread. But your knowledge is appreciated. I am heading to lake san cristobal and am thinking of taking the loop(cinnamon pass/engineer pass).
    What are your options on my prerunner (3" lift/running 285's) making it?

    Duratracs. And the videos I've watched make me think I'll be ok. Like you said, pick the better line.
    :thumbsup:
    Thanks
