now that looks like a happy Cruiser
Spent last weekend in Paradise and Grand Marais in Michigan Upper Peninsula.
Most shots are of my friends 80 but I got one of both of us at lake superior
did a little trail up American Fork Canyon, Nothing to compare to some of the stuff you guys are doing regularly, but it was fun. Took the Wife's Family out and had a great time.
Here is an uncut gopro version with trail notes if anyone is interested in running the trail and want to see it in detail.

^looked like a fun outing with the kids
Been without mine for almost 2 months...
Should get her back in a day or twoI hope she runs as good as you say yours does.
How much did you pay to have it done where you are?
It was my first time wheeling in the mountains since I was...maybe 17? It was nice to reconnect and fun to have young people and out of towners involved. One of the guys with us has a tj wrangler for 16 years but lives in DC so has never been wheeling in it, though he would like to. It was a treat all around.

Where is this?
Black bear pass between Ouray and Telluride CO

Wits' End
I need to get my ass to Colorado. Its one of the few I haven't been on the west coast.
I am 0-3 when I am in Ouray in regards to Black Bear. It is always closed. I did almost make it to the summit once but it was covered in snow so we had to turn around.
You should fix/finish your truck first, it would never make as is

Hey! You shut yer perty mouf
It's as ready as it's gonna get, right now.
Did the dunes in Oceano, CA. I aired down to 12, which made a huge difference. When I went there last time I took them down to 20 or so, which was not low enough.
I got into a hairy situation this time and had to get pulled out by a guy with a Tacoma. I was really worried my rig was going to be on its side. Sorry no pics of that, I was worried it might be the last pic I took of it.
Mine was the only full size rig I saw out on the real dunes, everyone else was staying on the small stuff. It was a ton of fun, but my wife confessed that wheeling is a bit too much for her nerves. Good thing I have two sons.

As far as I'm concerned it is.
Normally it is opened by the 4 of July
For up to date conditions on what pass is open - http://bushducks.com/tripreps/passopen.htm
7/9/14 - Should be open now. D5 Cat arrived at top of pass on the morning of the 9th, and had cleared down to the upper bowl by lunch. Should have been opened to Telluride by 11th. We ran the trail to the top of the pass on the 9th and witnessed all above conditions.
7/5/14 - Black Bear is closed. The forest service is working on opening it this week.
7/5/14 - Open to the summit. Trail is blocked by snow shortly after the summit. There was no crew or equipment so it doesn't appear to be being worked on.
6/29/14 - I called the Ranger Station and they said that they are opening Imogene Pass the weekend of 6/29 amd that Black Bear would follow, potentially being open July 4.
5/27/14 - Closed. Not plowed still has 4 feet of snow at highway.
