cool, but you should run Carnage which is connected to lefthand. Much more fun and much more challenging. Nice pictures though!

Most of Left hand has been closed . It used to be a large area that people drove almost anywhere, which caused major environmental issues so only the major roads remain open. The main lefthand trail which the pics are of is at the point that it is too easy because they had to level it out to bring all of the equipent up there to close everyhting and Carnage is too dificult for many rigs.

I've seen your runner around boulder a few times. It looks good. Are you putting a solid axle on your truck?

I'm putting the solid axle on this weekend. I got the rear converted to leaf last weekend. I'm ready, it's been hours and hours of work and $5500 so far, it needs to be done.

Are you doing all the work? If you get that solid axle on, please leave colorado.... I'll get too jealous if I ever see it.

That'll be so sick. I want to see it in person after you get it done. How much lift are you gonna run?

I'm not sure how much lift I will have. It is going to be trial & error. I want to be around 6-8" with 37's
