Events/Trails Annual Ouray trip Aug 5-9, 2020

The last picture was from today on our way back to Albuquerque. We stopped at FR 423 in San Juan and Sarai drove her first trail I think riding down Black Bear Pass had something to do with it.

SEE YOU NEXT YEAR

Well I guess coming home early worked out for me. I heard a couple of pops on the trail Thursday that I thought was a CV. It wasn't a CV. My upper ball joint went kaput. Was playing around my place a little and made a sharp turn maybe going a little too fast and this happened.

Luckily it didn't happen on the trail or the way home. I checked the wheels for play before I left and they felt good.

It was cool running with you guys last week. I got a lot of pictures of your truck on the trail.

Be careful letting Sarai drive. You may lose your copilot and have to build another rig for her.

Ash,

Thanks for hosting another great Ouray HDC event.

I know this is no small task to pull together but you did a great job. It was really nice that you picked out some easy trails for less experienced drivers and more suitable for stock trucks. You are able to strike a good balance by also offering options for those people that wanted tougher trails that required high clearance and more advanced driving skills. Nice touch!

The weather was perfect and lots of members turned out for a fun and safe event.

A big thank you Ash.

Haha she has the 5th gen, and a list of mods she wants done after we build up the 4th gen some more.

Do you use Google drive or Dropbox for pictures? Send me a share link at aaronbraly@gmail.com! We have some that we will be posting later this week after editing.

Sorry about your suspension Virgil You're right; luckily that didn't happen on Engineer Pass!

Having problems after doing something a little too fast seems to be a recurring theme.

Haha yeah, but I am sure that going too fast wasn't the cause of the failure. The ball joint was worn too. The speed and 35 inch tires didn't help though.

Speaking of going too fast; almost killed my family for this picture
