Went for a spin after work in the 40, took a few minutes for the fuel injection to adjust to the altitude but is running pretty good. Doesn't seem to have the gumption at 8k feet that it had at sea level. Weather has been very nice, lots of sunshine and lows in the 30's, highs in the 60-70's with no humidity.

What, you didn't climb that rock in the background?

Geeze.

;)
 
Just no where to put the top yet. Had it on for the trip. Still wasn't hot though!

Trying to stay on the trail, unfortunately trail did go close enough to climb over...
 
Maybe it needs more Mountain Dew ......Have fun .

Went over Wolf Creek Pass to Pagosa springs. Was absolutely gorgeous out. The 383 pulled up the pass as fast as you dare go with a little room left over. Anyone want to go for a drive in the mountains?

Damn it's nice out there! Keep posting pics.

Find any groups to wheel with yet out there?
They won't be as cool as us though
 
Ran up Marshall pass, was hoping to make it all the way across, but the last 1000ft would have been a bear. No idea what the down hill side would have looked like either. It was fun blasting through the spots the 4-wheelers and razors were getting hung up on though.

I am seriously going to look into finding storage for my vehicle in Colorado so I can fly back out and wheel there.
 
Throw a tarp over it
 
It's just like that sand stuff but sticks together, best of all you only find it when it's not butt-sweltering hot! You should come try it, clean up is easy too.
 
I think a Colorado trip is in order. When I get back from the Rubicon, I'll post up a Colorado trip thread.
Hell, I'll post it up now.
 
Went for another spin. Started in the morning and close to 70 degrees, got into the mountains and in a period of maybe 5 Minutes we had sunshine, rain, horizontal hail, snow, lightning/thunder, and back to sunshine. It was a great run. Pics in a sec
