2011 Colorado trip

[Shaggy]

I want to start planning this summer's trip.
I am want to do a two week trip and am thinking the last two weeks in July. July 16-31. Will probably wheel one week of it and spend the other week with family and such.
Who all is interested?

I'm probably going to pull just my jeep by itsself but if someone else wanted to split fuel I am open to pulling two. I won't have any seats in the truck though.

I will for sure be in Colo for at least a week late in summer. But it will probably have to be mid-late August or Sept for me.

BTW, your steering column sucks. Luckily the parts broken on mine were not broken on yours, so I was able to cludge together one column.:gigem: Ready for TCC

[JB]

ttt?

Has anyone ever wheeled the Rubicon? I really want to get out there soon, spend a week wheeling it. Been contemplating a new rig too, one that could get out there and back...or one that is light enough for me to pull over the Rockies.

[BroncoJo]

I'm down just pick the week, I could even tow the bronco up for there for you :flipoff2:

[JB]

2k one way to NorCal for the Rubicon, 1k one way to get to Central CO, kinda where everyone went a couple years back. I'd either need a smaller rig or a bigger, alternative fueled, tow rig.

*** Nice way of putting that...


EDIT: DAMNT L O L :laughing:

[breckboarder55]

Chris Scotti wheeled the Rubicon a few years back.

I think this will be the first summer in years I don't make it out to Colorado.

[RCcola55]

I really wanna give wheeling the Black Hills in SD a try!! Im up there every summer, so hopefully i can have a rig ready by next June to make that trip with.

If yall need a trail guide let me know, there are thousands of trails in Co but I know where most of the good ones are.

Many years ago there was a Tamor trip to the rubicon.

[mudtoy67]

Maybe you're thinking Moab? I don't remember any tamor rubicon trip.

Both far and crowded, same **** right?

[Shaggy]

Pick the week. I now have everything I need for a trip like this. Just need to request the time off.

Slide in camper? no picture

[Shaggy]

Maybe not everything. I could use one of those still. They are $$$ though

We just got back from a 10 night trip to CO with Lynda's Heep on Sunday. Many trails were still impassable - and we were the first ones to get as far as we did, but it eventually turns into a winch fest and that's not cool with kids. I highly reccomend Holy Cross. We were only able to make it to the city (before we had to start pulling line) but it was beautiful and slightly challanging. We were with Busa and Higgs.

I don't remember the trail going up much past the city anyway. There is a mean obstical up there though, I think we winched it. Where's the pictures?

[Busa]

Here are my pictures from our trip.

I ran it with hippy and a friend of his last 4th of July. I flew up, no jeep.

[JB]

Hopefully leaving lext weekend.

Diane has a painted camper shell, bed platform, and is already packed up. Need to snag the HI lift and CB off of the Bronco and I am ready.

Meeting friends in Denver on the 23rd to then head up to Wyoming and camp Yellowstone and Grand Teton areas. But I am going to get a head start and be in SW or central CO the week before.

[BroncoJo]

you suck for doing this during the school year

[JB]

Real life mutha****er!

[JB]

I dont take pics on trips. My buddy finally got his up from our trip to Colo and Wyoming back in Sept.

[JB]

Some good scenery pics. Most here from Wyoming. Snake River

[KrazyKarl02]

Looks like a kick ass time!

Tetons, nice...

[JB]

****ing BFG, I mean he only hit a downed tree branch at like 30. That **** wouldnt happen to a ****ing Goodyear. [/Flem]:flipoff2:

[JB]

Pics of his XJ are on Tincup. He is a sorta a novice driver that is learning as he builds it up. Last year we had to explain lockers to him, and this year he had a ARB in the front 30. I could have walked that Jeep up unlocked, but he was learning. Not really a difficult trail. I attempted coming down it in my F150 a few years back though and that was a bad idea, if you remember the pics.

[JB]

Our campsite in Wyoming was across the hwy from Grand Teton on State land. While driving around back in there looking for a campsite (actually while we were changing the tire on teh XJ) some hunters rolled up and said there were plenty of bears in the area but that they were up there hunting moose.

We set up camp along the banks of an off-shoot of the Snake river. You can see in one of the pics how it had been cut out over the centuries. We had to repel down and climb the rope back up to get to the river. Hiked about a mile up river through ground that I assume not many others had ever traversed. Pretty great trip.

Yellowstone was fun, but very structured and family oriented. Not really what we were looking for. Grand Teton was more wide open. They had 1 4wd road that paralleled the Snake, but it was essentially a dirt road. They had good hiking trails though, but nothing primitive. Last night of the trip we ate in Jackson Hole and spend probably $100 a piece gorging ourselves at some overpriced steakhouse on buffalo steak. Long ass drive home, but well worth it.

[MR.ZAP]

The buffalo and elk up there is fantastic. Looks like a seriously bad ass trip!

[davido]

That looks like a sweet trip! Reminds me of Eric's B-party. We need another guys trip like that.
