Colorado B.S. Thread

I may get evacuated here pretty soon. Shit

 

Yep, the one up in boulder now is very close to our CEO's house. Apparently flagstaff is closed so he doesnt even know how close it is to his house.

 

Fire from in front of my house....

 

holy crap, crazy picture noah!!!

 

Yeah, this is what I was afraid of

 

So crazy!!! Was golfing at omni today and saw tons of cloud to ground hits. Looks like one hit... be safe guys.

 

This is what it looks like now.....

 

I would love to help fight this fight... too bad I left the fire/ems service.

 

We have 1 type 1 strike team heading to boulder. I'm at station 3 I thought I was going.

 

What is the difference between type 1, 2, 3 strike teams?

 

Amount of personnel and certifications.

 

good to know... I can't imagine they would take very many resources away from the one in the springs to come here. It's not even close to as bad as the one down there

 

They have an Adams county strike team including us and I think 4 other departments. They are getting a weld county task force ready right now to send as well. They are doing structure protection in boulder that's why.

 

is there anything along CO-47 E between trinidad and pueblo
and then from pueblo on out towards breckenridge/frisco area (CO-9 N)
that is worth stoping to check out on my trip from texas? can't stay too long unattended from my truck since it will be full of my belongings i packed for the move. But anything interesting to stop and see would be a welcomed experience.

also, on those routes, are the fires affecting any of those areas?

 

^the great sand dunes. That is all I can think of off the top of my head. I am sure there are more.

 

Stay safe out there everyone!

 

Transplanted from the Upcoming Colorado Events thread to keep that one more on topic:

So I searched and found his website but am not sure what all parts I would need to complete a 2.5-2.75" lift up front. Looks like I would need the OME shocks ($147) and the OME springs ($150) which would be about $297 total for what I would be looking for, right? Any issue with UCA's or anything else if I were to buy these and then run 2.5" on them? Also, what's the difference between HD and medium for the springs? I assume the HD springs will ride rougher but handle the bumps on trails better? Anything else needed for install?

 

Make him an offer... This would make install easy.

 

Thanks but that's just way too rich for my blood at the moment. Right now I'm looking at front 5100's which is well under $200 and while his setup has a lot more to it it's just more than I'm looking to spend.
