New to CO - Noob with 2017 4x4 SR5 - want to test the waters

helloooo,

Just moved to Westminster from Indiana on Monday. Was looking to go out and see the mountains this weekend and then saw there are a lot of 4x4 offroading trails, so figured I’d take the truck and do some light moderate trails.

I’m looking for active groups, anyone that would like to go along, show me the ropes, the spots, pull my ass out, you know...

Grew up on quads and motorcycles, so I’m not unfamiliar with trails, mud, sand, water, etc., but I haven’t ever offroading with a vehicle.

Let me know!

 

Welcome to TW.

 

Welcome to colorful Colorado, where most people are from some where else.

Keep an eye on this thread: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/upcoming-colorado-events.187907/page-877#post-17809977

 

I saw this, but it seemed like most people went to technical conversation instead of events. I’ll set it to watch.

 

Nope, no thread is safe from us turning into a BS thread.
Welcome

 

Absolutely. It could turn from technical to beer drinking in a heartbeat.

BTW - Colorado beers are great, but have you guys checked out some of the stuff coming out of Wyoming? Melvin Brewing has some crazy good beers, their "2X4 IPA" for example - what do you guys think?

 

I like the designs on their cans. I feel like I saw this company at my local Old Chicago recently. I definitely remember seeing it in Idaho Falls a few months ago.

 

Yeah, a buddy of mine turned me on to their stuff not too long ago, I'm really enjoying it.

It's almost weird to be able to get their beers here, that brewery isn't a big one at all!

 

See johnsoct, we have already jacked your thread and started a BS conversation in it.

 

Yep - welcome to Distracted.co....

SQUIRREL!

 

What's done to your rig? Need at least 3" suspension with 33s to keep up on fun trails. That's a pretty rig you have to be learning on.

 

Oh Lord, don't get him going on lifts already.

 

Lol

And armor to protect it!!

 

Haha, fair enough. I can accept that.

 

I came all the way here... And I don't drink.

 

YOLO... too millennial?

 

Nothing. I had ZERO intentions of doing anything off roading when I bought the truck. I grew up raising and training quarter and thoroughbreds, so I'be always drove big trucks, so I figured now that I'm a city boy, I'd get a small truck to enjoy.

Now, I will most likely need to be saving a few thousand $s if I like this, lol

What does something like this cost? (Your comment)

 

Possibly. I personally am a "Xennial". Analog childhood and digital adulthood.

 

Haha, I'm not concerned with it right now. I'm glad he mentioned it though. Think for the future.
