Mt Blanca 2015

Put something together that the 80's can do and watch some more extreme stuff(not quite buggy) and I will be there. I want to run the Glade and Choke Cherry

Done. I'm thinking a little messing around in upper playground, then we can run Anasazi trail to get over to Frog rock. After that we can roll over to Waterfall and work our way through it. If there is time after that we can come back around and hit parts of Cobra. That would be a pretty full day.

Anything not hit on the first day we could finish on a second day and add on RJ's Trail to Arch Trail, but I expect people would need to winch the beginning. Another Nice addition would be Upper Rim, has one climb that would be hard on an 80 but I've done it.

Everything I listed I've done in my 80. That said, I'm bringing out the buggy if you guys show.

How's that for putting something together?

Throw out some available dates and let's do it.

Edit* this weekend the 12th and next weekend the 19th are no good for me, anytime after that should be good.*

i might be up for the 3rd-4th October. I have a soccer game to coach until at least noon.

If not that weekend, I'm no good on the weekends until November. I'm betting no weekday availability for most, right?

I'll look at the 3rd 4th for me. I like that one too as it gives me time to get the fuel pump issues worked out.

** Delayed carnage ***

Well, it turns out that I did have some carnage that didn't make itself known until recently. One of the rear Slee upper control arm separated at the weld, probably for some time, but was just about to let go. This didn't become apparent until a short run to Puerco after work one day when I heard a "clunk". It's all good now and I'm very thankful that this didn't happen during the Blanca trip.

New bushing eye is much beefier. You can see how the old eye has a deep crack. One of the pic below is comparing the old one to the new one.

Yikes! Glad you caught it

I just ordered lowers myself but mainly becuase the stock bushings are toast...
