Tincup Pass Colorado

Is this doable in August in LC 200 that is stock other than BFG all terrain tires?

pretty sure you won't have any issues. A friend did it in pretty much same, stock with BFG, fully loaded for 2-week camping, family of four -- meaning it didn't have great ground clearance to work with. Some tricky sections coming down from the peak towards Tincup that will require a bit of spotting. Trail is pretty rocky/rough on St Elmo side so prepare to get tossed around.

Thank you for your input. I watched a youtube video today of a guy doing it and looked doable. I may pull off my running boards.

I did it in a stock 80 Series a few years ago, rough in spots, but nothing your 200 can’t handle.

Totally off topic but I now know where the TinCup Whiskey name comes from. That said, their advertising is really lame, this advert was one of their first:

TINCUP Whiskey TV Spot, 'Up Here'

Several men climb up a steep mountain and set up camp when they reach the summit. They relax by building a fire and passing around a bottle of TINCUP Whiskey.
