    A great run would be Red Cone>Radical>St. Johns, so cool up there, I could see Holy Cross off in the distance as well.

    Gotta say thanks to TW (terry+friend) + some jeepers for helping get my rig back to life after one of the heim joints fell off the UCA on the trail.
    Glad to be safe.

    Ur good.
    The UCA was barely on the heim threads i guess in order to try to get the best alignment. Heim UCAs v

    Okay, So Blacktacoma23 and I went to Spring Creek this morning, unfortunately, BT23 did not make it to far. But, we were able to do a mod day on the side of the trail. Took his UCA off, bent the bolt back and put the Hem joint back on and tightened it back up.


    AIR DOWN FOR WHAT!!
    [​IMG]

    Make it up the first obstacle
    [​IMG]

    Attempted first obstacle
    [​IMG]

    And then....
    [​IMG]

    And a little of this...
    [​IMG]

    Some of this...
    [​IMG]

    And a trail trophy!
    [​IMG]

    So after we put everything back together, Matt headed down the hill and I continued to head up. This is the second obstacle
    [​IMG]

    I was able to redeem myself from last year!! I got hung up on one of the big rocks and could not make it past the beginning of the rock garden last year on the stock 31" tires...
    [​IMG]
    And I didnt realize my d-ring hanging off, and I ended up loosing it somewhere around this spot
    [​IMG]

    Add some more character to the truck. I just talked to Lee from BAMF, sliders will be here next week. Go figure:confused:
    [​IMG]

    Almost out of the rock garden.
    [​IMG]

    Stop to take a selfie
    [​IMG]

    And trying to get to George Town via Saxxon but there were a few obsticals that I do not think were supposed to be there and made for some sketchy times.

    We did. There were 2 spots that looked unpassable because of giant ass boulders directly in the middle of the trail, but I managed to get around them/over them

    ^ They're for 6" lifts.
    I like them better than my old bushing style TC ucas. It could have been avoided looking back

    We got out for a little exploring this weekend. Gorgeous views along the trails, as well as fields of wildflowers and cool historical towns and ruins.

    We started in St Elmo, took the Tincup Pass trail (camped on the way down from the pass) to Tincup. The next day we took the Cumberland Pass trail to Pitkin. From Pitkin, we hopped on the Waunita Pass Road down to 50 and then home.
