Four Corners Meet Pictures 2010

Would a prerunner make it or would you NEED 4x4?

 

someone asked that already i think it was rpain or something,

but the trails in co might be doable in a locked prerunner but deff not thje glade. i had a hard time in a few spots with the open diffs front and rear and in 4Lo

 

Yeah, in Colorado, you'd probably have enough traction with a locked 2wd. However, the hills are steep and the altitude is extremely high. Engines DOG up there without oxygen. When I'm in 4hi, I can barely even move. You floor it up the steep trails and you're literally going like 3 mph. The 4lo gear range is a massive advantage.

The Glade would pretty much just suck ass with a 2wd.

 

finishing touches and paint on the sliders... painted the wheels too...

 

Looks good man! Guess the sliders passed the test.

 

Yep... I'm pretty happy with them... Especially the cost...

 

Yeah, can't beat the price for sure.

 

A few pics...

 

Cool man, can't wait to see more.

 

I have a bunch more, but my satellite internet takes forever to upload photos... Those 5 took about 15 minutes...

Maybe I'll take my laptop somewhere with free wifi and up load them all...

 

dang man it looks way good, and the pics from the meet are pretty sweet.

im still wantin for the wives pics they were snapin them off rapid fire haha.

 

I had too many pics to post over here, so I put them on Tacoma Offroad

GREAT PICTURES.
It is absolutely beautiful there. I'm totally jealous. I would have settled for being in the passenger side even. Nice job guys. I'm sure another trip there with this run as a bench mark will be more successful in the future.

 

Here are some that my dad and I made. A lot of ours are similar to the earlier posts, but these are a little different.

 

^Those are great pics, because my truck is in a bunch of them! Thanks for sharing!

 

nice DC LB!!!! love it!!!

 

Glad to see some more pictures up. I was just back up in Telluride this weekend camping with the family. Fortunately, you guys missed this heat wave.

 

haha what was the temp? must have been a little better at night while sittin around the camp fire

 

Hey now, easy tiger. I hand picked some of the best/most famous stuff out here. Beating it would be difficult. I know everything out here quite well and Graham, the other guide, knows the area even better. Better trails are hard to come by and more people would cause logistical camping and traffic problems. The one thing I felt unrest about was the inability to hit Poughkeepsie Gulch (Still snowed in). Oh well, good crowd, good times.

I don't know the temps but it was just plain hot. We camped at Alta Lakes which is 11,300 feet. That's way higher than where we camped at probably a hair over 9,000 ft. I never had more than a fleece vest on at night. That's unheard of at that altitude.

 

Not sure what you mean, "more successful"? I thought this trip was very successful, and I am sure there are other guys that would agree. I am sure there will be another trip like this, but it will be hard to top this one.
