If the trails are not safe then I'll drive north west to Moab and have fun there.

Yesterday I was tasked to leave for a mid term international assignment. I'll try hard to get back for this. @steenh I believe @DawnC will go whether I'm back in country or not so should be normal for you either way :)

Sure hope you can make it!
 
53 days and counting - start making your list boys....forget not want not
 
Speaking of T-Shirts- there is a 200 Series one out there- if you have not seen it. We maybe could use the artwork if we ask. Sorta looks like my rig...

@BTUMAN - did you air down on any of the trails in Ouray? if you were running 17's would you have?
thanks

I went down to 20 to make the ride smoother. I would do the same with 17s without any reservations. In fact I would worry less with the taller sidewalls.

I need to look back- but I'll just ask here- are those 305s or 35". I assume you are running Slees tweaks if they are 35s?

Hunting 17" Rock Warriors- but everyone knows what they are worth.... Thinking of 305s to keep from rubbing (fit in garages too)and to keep under spare since I didn't go with swing out rear bumper (love yours btw)

Who has this combo?
 
Thanks
I'm running 35x12.5x17
 
Without a doubt you should be airing down on the trails in the San Juans. Tons of shale, sharp edges, small ledges that are much more prone to cut a fully inflated tire. Not sure where I saw it, but you really aren't really gaining much flex in the tire or increased foot print until you get down to about 15-18 lbs with most tires. They did a chalk test to show the print with the different air pressures. I personally feel like it is easier on both driver and vehicle to drop to 15-18 when hitting any dirt. Can't wait to hear about your trip up to Ouray. It should be fun.
 
Can't wait. Met with my buddy today to start making our list of bring-ables.
My friend is 4th inline at a major bourbon distillery....get ready

Oh boy!
 
No snow but there is still snow in the mountains. Allot of rain. Here are some teasers for yall. I aired down to 20psi and no issues. If you are going to do alpine loop the is a switch back on the way up that is a little washed out and narrow so this has a good chance of hitting rear bumper. I drug the arb off of it

Quite a bit of snow still up there. More than the last three years for sure. Two years ago there was a mudslide at night on Alpine and we were first up and we waited for about 2 hours for a county front end loader to show up and fix the road. That is when snacks and chairs come in handy.
 
Now that's a nice start to the weekend!
 
Just showed the wife the pics... she's excited but first question was, what if I have to pee? :hmm:
 
easy for us - not so much for her....think of a good answer

Ha. Well, they make stuff for that. Usually in the Swag handed out at the registration. It's call Rest-Stop and it's basically a bag... They make adapters- all I am saying....

Can't wait to get there again! Been a full year! Lol
 
Great choices guys... I'll be sure to show her... after we get there!
 
More porn. Sliders are a MUST. I do not have a lift, but without sliders you will probably be sorry you don't have them. Got to see the ARB BP51's on Christo Slees 200 and the ARB guys had one on display. Lots of drooling this week. 100's and 200's for days out here
