Hey guys we will start removing some of the trails from Sched that don't have enough participants soon. If you haven't signed up for trails make sure you go ahead and get it done. Also if you are waitlisted on a trail you should go ahead and sign up for another trail JIC. If you come through on a waitlist you can always remove yourself from your second choice. See you soon!

I threw on new tires today, repaired a speaker in DF door, replacing cluster with new, and replacing complete throttle body.

I know of a few guys doing much, much bigger projects this week though!

Pre CROCKIES prep includes Cornhole practice, Oil change, tire rotate/balance, new TPMS sensors. Not exactly crucial for off-road driving but necessary.

Ugh, start the work today and battery light flashing when I start the truck, looks like I'll have to add alternator to the list.

And now this.... front locker airline fell appart. Anyone knows where I can get this hose? it seems smaller than the one going to the diff? this goes from the actuator to another fitting thats rubberized goes to the front diff.

Probablu need the fittings too.

I’m guessing it’s a standard quick fitting type hose. Probably 1/4”. Bring some with to a hardware store to check how it seats in the fittings. Oil and gas safe tubing is best.

Yes - I think it is standard 6mm pneumatic hose with push in fittings. Air line to my front TJM locker is looking pretty worn too, so I am curious what you end up finding for this.

It litteraly just fell apart when I hit it with my elbow. I'll bring some extra hose on the trip in case anyone else needs it. The PITA is taking the left over hose from the fittings to get the new one in.

Excited to see your trail reports. I'll be getting into town the day after guys leave. From what I can research everything seems open and good this year. How's the snow pack?

Had/have a lot of little things on the list, nothing major thankfully.

• House battery
• Switch panel
• Radio + aerial
• Rear power
• Install AirLift 1000 (still debating this...)
• Oil change
• Fluid check
• Cabin filter
• Grease zerk fittings
• Hunt down a popping noise (suspension) in the front end

She's just about ready to go.

That’s a solid list. I’d vote to install the air bags. Should take less than two hours, and you can throw 5psi in them and not worry about loading down with camping gear.

Okay guys, just a "Public Service Announcement" from Durango...

The produce stands in Durango just dropped Olathe corn yesterday (07/21)
In these parts that's a little bit of a big deal as Olathe Sweet Corn is some of
the best corn in the world.

If you're coming through Durango to get to Silverton and have never had Olathe
you owe it to yourself to try it.

I am not affiliated with the produce stands in any way.

Here's a cheat sheet to their locations (2) These are on "North Main" so beyond
downtown proper to the North after Main Ave. crosses over the Animas River.

I might throw the family in the truck and come up to mingle over the weekend
but if that doesn't pan out, I hope everyone has a fantastic time! These are some
of the prettiest Rockies there are!

Edit: Oh yeah, and it's pronounced - Oh-lay-tha

Quick question - will a relatively stock LX be able to tackle at least some of the trails at COTR IV? Very new to offroading here, but would love to come hang out at the least!

Sure thing! We will have plenty of easy options and several moderate options that you can run in a stock cruiser. Don't worry about difficulty level. We will have something for everyone.

Awesome! I'll be sure to hit the registration as soon as it opens on the 3rd. Looking forward to the road trip from Indiana!

Just getting home and wanted to post a few pics from the event. I had a blast but didn't get a chance to get out on the trail much so don't have many trail pics. Thats ok though. This event is about way more than the trucks and their trails. It's about the people that make up the community. I don't have a final count yet but after all the last minute cancellations it look like we had around 95 drivers/trucks this year! I,m so thankful for everyone that came out and made this event so special! I can't wait for next year! We should have the dates soon for Cruisers on the Rockies 2!!!

Here's a few snaps from the event!
