Build ramps to go up the neck then back the mini up the ramps or just buy a longer trailer
i'll make it real easy for you, just send the pickup up here to me n you can trade the trailer for a shorter one
I think that's a plan that will work, but run the 40 forward. My bumper/prerunner/fucdeer bar in the front hangs way out there. If I can get that forward more. I think I'm golden. A foot forward would do it I think. I might try making a ramp out of plywood and test the dimensions of what I'm thinking, then have somebody weld up ramps. I'd like to test out putting the 40 on the back. I'm pretty sure it'll be too much weight so far back. If Chris would've just bought a 40, I wouldn't have to worry about it.

The problem is that's a really nice sized trailer. Maneuverable, and not that expensive. You go much bigger and they start getting spendy quick. The hydraulic beaver tail would be sweet, but I don't want to buy a $20k trailer that is just handy, and not needed.
I tried to cross over from Telluride to Ouray on Sunday. Ran into ice just above the mine so I had to turn back. The fall colors were amazing though!
I had about the same idea. Ran engineer to lake city and some fs road back home.
I love having to go to Silverton to score mini parts . Did that today. Always gives me the excuse to do engineer! It was pretty brutal up top . got droplet snow and a 300mph cross wind . prob missed to great colors b about a week
Heres how we kind of do it . We don't use ramps though. I have found backing the mini up keeps tongue weight downI think that's a plan that will work, but run the 40 forward.

Great Pics! The recent snow up high and the fall leaves down low made for an amazing couple of days in the mountains. The weather was perfect as well.
A little treat for you southerners some snow wheeling . Glad the new crawler has heat but definitely needs doors .Think the stuck yota is from another group on here that was up there yesterday
Did you go up and tell them that there is no reversing? Randy Rules of off-roading 101 lol
hahah you can back up there just a loss of points haha
Good times!!!
Yes Sir
