Jeepers

Well then we definitely have to meet up at some point!

Damn, C.R. is kinda far for me in my jeep. It's not fun to drive on the highway. Anyone wanna meet up this week in NoCo?

Edit - If anyone wants to take a trail ride in NoCo the next two days, let me know. I'm down.

I might depending on how the lift goes tomorrow. Were you thinking?

I was thinking of one of the trails near Loveland or Longmont. How is the lift going?

Well I got some more work done on my rig today. Added the hood hoop that is integrated with my front stinger. I also found a sick deal on a winch so I redrilled my bumper today, threw it on there and then wired it up. Works great and you can't beat Warn. Now I'm really ready to play! However, on the way down to the Springs this morning I started getting some weird vibrations when accelerating. On the way home things got much worse. I checked my rear driveshaft when I made it home (luckily) and it has sprayed grease everywhere. The boot is shredded on it. I'm glad I made it back home. I have had my lift on my rig for 5,000 miles and my driveshafts had exactly 5,000 miles on them when I lifted it. I had also never wheeled my rig prior to lifting it. So no trail ride for me tomorrow unless one of you dudes wants to pick me up. Bummer! Anyway, here are the pics!

Wow, that looks great! Bummer to hear to hear about your driveshaft woes. That sucks. Does the rear driveshaft have a CV?

Edit - Forgot to mention. I went and ran Sevenmile Creek up the Poudre Canyon this afternoon. It was mostly hardpack snow with occasional ice and dirt. I was solo, so didn't run any of the offshoot trails that were bigger climbs, but it was still fun. Only used 4 low once to crawl a bumpy section. I'll post some pics up soon.

Yes it does. I am running the Jeep by Rocky Mountain Driveline first thing in the morning. He told me that their "1000 HP rated" driveshafts are as legit as it gets. I may end up just swapping one of those in. If you guys are running tomorrow let me know. 10mm man would have to roll past me to get to your neck of the woods so he can pick me up.

Also, is that your Supra in your avatar? If you are ever interested in selling it let me know.

Sounds good to me. I'll run again tomorrow. I got a bit hot today (need to upgrade e-fan with the taurus unit I have), but will venture out to ride a trail. Lets plan something. We'll have to find something in the Longmont-Denver area that's still open. A lot of the trails are closed.

Also, is that your Supra in your avatar? If you are ever interested in selling it let me know.

Yes, it's a Supra, JDM supra no less. We took brought it with us from Japan to Germany, then sold it there after running into import issues with DOT and Customs. Yes. I miss it every day and am looking for another. That car was a blast on the autobahn and the Nurburgring.

Where is 10mm??? He must be slaving away on his lift install. I looked for his rig the two times I passed through Monument but didn't see it. I'm sure it will look badass.

[USAFGopherMike]

He must be underneath it wrenchin. I'll check first thing in the morning when I get up to see if he's posted.
