Run to the Hills! - Jason's Glacial Pace Colorado GTFO Build

No I don't. My girl knows a locker is better than a tent

 

Further back you go the less you have to worry about that..

 

Because nobody likes it when a lower ball joint departs the vehicle...

Torque verified and torque striped.

 

Wheeling is dirty. It's all dirty.

 

Fuck it run it.

 

It was.






Or was it?

 

"Back country"

 

God I love that show

 

So many good lines...

On a completely different subject, I got myself some moly-fortified lithium grease for these squeaky goddam UCA bushings. I'm gonna just loosen the thru bolt and pump some in for now, but I want to pull em eventually and clean out all of the super lube.

Crossing my fingers it works and it lasts at least an oil change!

 

I paint mine and can still see them faintly. Wet a rag and wipe it and it's like new again

 

hope it works. I just regreased all my bushings. Still quiet as ever.

 

I hope so too.

I tried loosening the thru bolt and just hitting the zerks, but it not one of them would take grease. It just loaded up outside the zerk. Gonna have to pull the damn things before we leave today.

 

Where are you guys taking off to?

 

Definitely down near Leadville and Fairplay. Still deciding which trail to hit. I'm not looking for anything technical (it's just gonna be my truck), just something easy-moderate that gets us to a secluded camp site.

So far these are the front runners:

Mosquito Pass
Halfmoon Creek
Birdseye Gulch
Breakneck Pass
Crystal Lake

 

Jason. What is the total weight of your winch. Thanks

 

Ray!

I'll weigh that when I get home. By total weight you mean with rope and hook, right? Or do you want the contactor and wiring as well?

 

As much as you can. Trying to figure out front end weight for shock valving. Ball park numbers. I can always round up. Thanks bud.

 

From the Come Up site. Winch weight and gross weight.

 

damn, that thing is a little fat. Warn was only 50ish pounds, less synthetic line and hook.

 

Ray, it looks like their website is pretty close. I got 65lb for the winch without the hook or the contactor and wire. I'd say around 75lb total should be pretty realistic.
