What happened to the jeep? Good luck with the recovery...id like to join ya but unfortunately can't make it up

 

what is with people wheeling alone ?

 

Kids family owns a jeep rental company up here in the county. They are all stock but with the largest tires that will fit. They go up St. Johns and think snow bashing is a good idea. Wrong

So I'm taking them back and we are going to try to get it out of the snow without falling off the MTN.

 

I go alone every once in a while. But, I also have the equipment to get out in most cases.

 

I go alone sometimes too. No one ever wants to go. Shit happens. It's part of the hobby. When you wheel 6-7 times a month something is bound to happen sooner or later! It's just a matter of when.

 

do we have a colorado recovery list of numbers ? might be good for everyone to have ?

 

does anyone have a link to that?

I saw it right after I drove back to tucson so I haven't added my info yet.

 

Just want to say thanks to NYCO for helping me out. Its my fault for not paying attention to both sides of the trail. It could have easily been avoided on such an easy 2wd trail. I know he didnt have to help. Just cant believe how easy the spindle can bend.

Topped him off with gas money and told him I owe him beer!

Shop wants to charge close to 1000$ to fix. Id rather buy the spindle for 350$ and do it myself. I got the thread on the removal and looks easy just time consuming.

Jace, If you have any info on what would make it a little easy on me, any info helps. Im tackling this project tomorrow if the dealer has the parts.

Thanks for the help on finding out what was wrong guys!

 

You can get a factory service manual from TTORA

 

Anytime buddy..wish I could have helped more but glad u got it down..hope the fix goes smooth

 

Signed up for the northen CO area. Wyo border to Longmont and Estes Park to Greeley, possibly Sterling if I have time. Basically East Larimer county and all of Weld county for me.

s10nick can probably cover some too.

 

When's the next CO mod day..I say a thread and then it went bye bye...Still the end of this month?

 

can we make it august? I land at night on the 31st from a 3 week stint in alaska, first weekend in august maybe?, ive got to mount my compressor under my hood, then a trail day the following weekend? any takers?

 

Keep your schedules open for the beginning of september as well. I want to explore all these trails you guys have been talking about. Especially the harder ones

 

I'm good for the first weekend in Aug so far as I know...switching jobs so I'll keep ya'll posted.

 

I'll be in ny the first weekend in august so after that I'm down for a mod day and trail day...I will have some electrical work maybe to do, or might just be there to help and hang out...

Sounds like sept will be a busy month for wheelin...I'm down!

 

Not quite sure what im up to in Sept. i want to wheel as much as i can, but sept through november ill be working out of town alot. we will see. Ive got to mount a compressor, seal my snorkel, and i want to get a cb and install it. Bob which did you end up with? do you like it?
