If you make it... I'll make it. And you can crash at our place on the way. We've been trying to catch up Hab! Maybe now is the time to do it!

Thanks for the invite but you're in the wrong direction for Buena Vista if I remember correctly. We'll be hitting the south of Denver area first and go from there depending on the whims of the masses. Target date to head out is sometime late July/early August so I'm putting a big IF on my maybe.

We hope to be bringing the new Tippy II. We'll have the front bumper and winch on by then as well as under-armour... I'm hoping for a little more exo but we'll see....

No, but we are definitely in the right direction for MO -> CO ... Longmont is north of Denver, about 1/2 way between Denver and Fort Collins.

What, not pink?

Damn Pinchy, I was really hoping you had painted your truck to match the electric Jeep. It would have been deeeelightful [pinky extended].

My 4Runner hasn't changed much beyond correcting some rear suspension problems. Should be locked, but I'm not holding my breath.

Good to hear! You'll be fine with a stock rig. There will be plenty of other stock rigs that attend as well to run some great trails in the BV area.

Heyo dudes and dudettes. Five weeks!

Does anyone know whether The Williams Pass Overlords will open it a day early, as in the last day of July? I'd like to hit it, but the first day of August is my drive-back-to-San-Diego day.

If someone has the contact info for a member of the club that controls that pass, I'll gladly (and politely) inquire.

I doubt it. The forest service has been opening trails late for the last couple months...

Well, I am busting my ass to finish my rig by this trip. Either way I will still be there. It just depends on if I will be driving it, or driving my shop truck.........

Nah, don't fix it! Then you'd be worried about rock rash...
