Colorado B.S. Thread

Good luck getting the price down to an acceptable amount .

If it was me I would get an OR for the locker. Even if you don't intend to use it it's nice to have. Like having a winch it'll save your ass if you get stuck. I'd rather press a button and turn on a locker rather than pull 50ft of winch line in the freezing cold because I can't make it back up a hill to get off the trail.

 

I may just do airbags for a bit until I figure out what I want to do long term... (BAMF/Archive Garage hangers, Alcan)

 

I'm not convinced I really need the locker. I don't go wheeling, I purely just get places... but I see your point. I'm planning on getting an ARB Twin Air for inflation, so I could just combine that project with regearing and a rear locker. It depends on how low I can get the price down to if I decide to chase this one down.

Thanks!

 

Man, I really screwed up and waited too long for the price to drop on a 92k mile 2013 TRD Sport from Florida with no rust that was brought to the Boulder Chrysler/Dodge dealer via auction.... It was $22k before it disappeared.
All the prices on well used and not taken care of, boring black wheel/too-wide tire/wheel spacer'd 2nd gens are like $25k with >150k miles.

 

Gonna see if I can find someone with an address that works around here.

Yeah, apparently my last RockAuto order was from 2018.

 

Feel free to send me pics or call to discuss

 

I doubt it will have vibes without a lift, probably not worth worrying about. I bought my 2015 SR5 with those same packages plus a snugtop topper and 91k for $21,000 pre-COVID. I would think you could talk them down at least 2k if they haven't been selling much.

No A-TRAC either but I haven't needed it and have already done plenty of high clearance 4WD roads to get to trailheads around the state. I don't imagine doing anything THAT much more challenging than I have already done in highway tires. I would definitely do the LED swap on the interior lights - that makes a huge difference getting in/out at night and is like 20 bucks all in. I also replaced the floppy antenna because mine came bent and the little stubby one gets better reception.

I did the 3rd get shocks/struts swap and gained 3/4" in the front. No vibes and it eats washboard for breakfast so I'm happy. No plans for a lift but I will go up to 265/75/16 from the 70's on there now when they wear out.

 

Just an update, I found everything on CarID.com for about the same price..
Would've been $3 cheaper but I had the TW coupon for RockAuto applied.

 

AutoZone wanted $339 for the front brake kit that was $253 on RockAuto and wouldn't price match. Also didn't have the rear drums.

Had to take a leap with CARiD. I've never dealt with them before.

 

Heading out tomorrow morning to camp and fish the Taylor. Can't wait, I need to get into the mountains and need a break from work.

Anyone here tie? If there's interest, I might be up for organizing a fly swap.

 

keep us posted. I have never used CARiD

 

Neither have I. My only complaint is the projected shipping times are looking slow. Gotta see how accurate it is.

 

RockAuto had an estimated DELIVERY date of June 16th with FedEx Ground.
CARiD has an estimated SHIP date of June 16th with UPS or FedEx (?).

 

I've used CarID a bunch. Never any complaints.

 

Best to call 720-246-9000 to get most available inventory. Things change pretty quick there

 

Looking to drive up to Idaho Springs, CO this weekend from Nebraska and do some dispersed camping. To my understanding I need a park permit and an OHV permit? Anyone been to Bill Moore Lake/Empire loop?

 

I think your going to need to call
Clear Creek 303-567-3000

Very little has opened up trail wise, heck the mountains just got more snow a few days ago.
