The Lumpskie Build - '96 5-speed

A couple more wheel stand pics that my buddy took

 

Yikes. That's a pucker for sure. Looks like the front bumper stopped him from going over.

 

good god!

 

You're right, you can see it sitting on the bumper here. This was an exciting run for sure!

 

That's gnarley. Truck would have been trashed. Must have been sketchy in that passenger seat.

Cool build, nice photos.

 

^Thanks man, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

 

Here are some pictures from the overland trip I just returned from. The trip was from Idaho Springs to Georgetown. I took the Cascade Creek trail to Saxon Mtn. trail over the longest possible route. It was a 3 day/2 night trip and was a lot of fun. Here are some pictures:

Not flexed out, but getting close


I need to do some trimming still

Here are a couple of shots my Jeep buddy took on his cell phone over the weekend

 

Very cool, planning on doing this but backwards at the end of the months, starting with hiking Castle and Conundrum.

Damn, they don't call it flopper for nothing! When I ran it a few weeks ago I just took the difficult lines up in the interest of time, next time I will need to try going down as well.

Looks fun, those are a few trails that I have been meaning to do. I wouldn't have thought it would have taken that long, but it looks like you got out and did some exploring along the way as well.

 

I'm thinking about heading back out therein a couple weeks too. The trees should be in their prime around then... how hard are Castle and Conundrum? (I severed my achilles tendon earlier this year and I'm still a little weak and sore)

Also, if you ever want to explore near Cascade Creek, let me know! I'm always game for tooling around over there.

 

I have never done it, but it shouldn't be too terrible, you can drive up into Montezuma Basin to 12,800', which would cut down the round trip to 5ish miles.

Thanks for the info. Maybe I'll see you on the trail some time!

 

I would have shit bricks

 

need to take off the flares haha

 

You might be right. Then my rust repairs would be visible I'll try cutting them again... hopefully that will work.

 

I almost lost it just from watching!

 

Project Rear Flex has begun...

 

Should be interesting to see if it helps at all
