2 weeks to go

 

I'm getting closer to being finished with all the work...

The LC is tan now!



Now I just have to reinstall the sliders and rear bumper and find a spare 285/75r16...

 

Looks good Nate! What kind of paint and what color did you go with?

 

No paint...

Right after I posted I found your same thread on FrontRange4x4 Looks killer for being liner. Nice work! I still have a gallon of Herculiner that I've been needing to put on the inside of my 4Runner for like 5 years now I've never opened the container, I hope it's still good.

 

To kick off the this year's Colorado 4Runner Jamboree, Scotty is going to lead a couple of California guys through the extreme trails down in Penrose this Sunday, July 25th, starting @ 9am. Anyone is welcome to come down and drive / watch. Just a heads up, these trails are some of the toughest in the state.

 

Well, showing off the dual trannys is not happening this Jambo!
I have too many variables in the changes I have made to rush to get it done and drive 3 hours, go wheeling and not have something break.
I need to give it a good "go over" and take it out to test it.
I'll still be there, but in my stock '99 4runner.

 

Doesn't look like we are going to make it this year. 4Runner got broken in to last night. Now I gotta spend my time and money fixin all the stuff that these wonderful people broke. Hope everyone has a blast, stays safe and unbroken! try again next year.

 

Man, that sucks! Sorry to hear about your 4Runner.

P.S. I hate thieves. And stupid people.

:Safari:

 

Bummer dude theives suck. I hate to hear that kind of stuff.

 

The old man might be coming with the 85 Confederate Toy. I also have at least one other guy coming maybe two. Im gettin all of the last minute things done, like my shocks.

 

Assuming I'm up and running, I'll be there!

 

In what?

 

1 week away!! Hope everyone is getting their last minute projects finished up this weekend.

On a sidenote, NAXJA (North American XJ Association) ColoradoFest event is taking place in BV at the same time we are holding the CO4RJ. I looked at their schedule and the only trail that seems to conflict is going to be Saturday's run of Chinamans. I would suggest either holding off from running Chinamans Gulch on Sat. and maybe running it on Sunday or having a late start (like noon-1pm) to avoid them on the trail. We can also run Chinamans Gulch Sat. night as a night run if anybody's up for that.

There's tons of trails in the area so I'd suggest Wheeler Lake or Iron Chest on Sat. if you're looking to get a moderate trail run in on Saturday.

 

Don't worry, you'll still have fun in the 99.

That sucks, sorry to hear that. F'ing thieves.

Nice!

Hopefully everything goes back together for you smoothly!

 

Notso? Notso. Notso!

Take heart: for you less modified types, the big Notso Run (last year's Bone-Stock Rodeo) will be on for Saturday. I have yet to pin down the where, but I'm thinking about Mt. Antero, plus I've been chatting up the rangers to open Balwin Lakes a few days early. Figure it this way - some folks want to get way the Hell back into the hills without doing it in a radical rig. I'm aiming to get there in an unlocked 4Runner on 33s that needs to get me back to San Diego.

If there's enough interest, I could possibly get to the Buena Vista area early on Friday to do a Notso Run then, too - we'll be in the neighborhood of Silverton/Alpine Loop at least through Thursday lunchtime.

Trail suggestions? Names and numbers? I'm not taking bodies from the aggro guys, I just want there to be an option for those of us who can't afford to break, or whose trucks aren't quite so awesome.

STICK

 

When are yall going to be up there? I am prolly going to head up there tomorrow night sometime. I will need directions to the campsite, since I've never really been there.

 

The easiest way to find our camp is to drive down Hwy 285 toward BV. Once you see the intersection of Hwy 285 & Hwy 24, you have another 8.2 miles until Co Rd 315 (Blue sign with yellow letters).

Turn right (north) on Co Rd 315 and drive 2.6 miles until you get to the intersection of 315 & 376 (Lenhardy's Cuttoff). Turn left (west) on 376.

We will be camping in the big campsite on the right side. You can't miss it.

 

I hope everyone has a safe and FUN event. Sorry we can't make it. Maybe next year.

 

1 day left!!! We'll be unloading the trailers and heading up to the Holy Cross trailhead at this time tomorrow. I hope everyone makes the trip and have a safe drive to HC or BV. If you want my phone number just in case, PM me.

This will be the trip of the year!!!
