Well, this was 100% stock. Not to much damage, until the end when I crushed the factory sliders.

Nice pictures, looked like fun. So what will the first mod be? Tires or rockrails? :wink:

Looks fun. Where is that?

Well, I have the RRO OTT lift on now, and the Frankenlift is on its way. Already have bigger tires waiting in the garage....

That was up on Mt Baldy, by Cheyenne Mtn in Co Springs.

was that recently? if so, looks like we don't have to wait for spring with this kind of winter. I may have to go south some weekend to get a little wheelin' in.

looks like fun

what size of tire are you going to put on it?

that was at the end of october last year. some buds of mine are going tomorrow, so maybe i can get you an update after this weekend. and i have some 265/75/16's going on hopefully sooner than later...sadly though, i will be doing a bit of traveling for work in the next few weeks, so my projects are going to have to wait for me...

up here in Minnesota we don't wait for the snow to melt before we go rock crawling:

Not being able to see the rocks you are on adds a whole new dimesion to the sport!

not being able to see the rock you are on puckers exercises my sphincter (you spell it) muscle way too much when I'm using my daily driver, but I like the way you think....

scratch the paint...haha, I actually did get a dent from that trip. Nothing major, just a little ding on the back in the frame around the very back glass....oh well, I hear chicks dig body damage...

Fish Eye, did you see my post about half way down the page? Lost Rockies is doing a run on the 4th of next month if you are interested. Check out our section toward the bottom of the front page.

For a KJ that means scratches.

Yeah but your rocks and trails aren't buried under 3-10 feet of snow. LOL!

3-10 feet of snow would be great...heck you wouldn't need skids, just drop your tire pressure and float over em.

"Float" over 10 feet of snow...LOL. That's a good one.

Maybe if you own a snow cat! This Colorado powder is way different than that heavy packed midwestern stuff.

mattracks my friend...I know all about that colorado stuff...I have skied all over there: a-basin, keystone, copper, beaver creek, Aspen, Crested Butte, Monarch Pass, Loveland-you name it. Colorado defineatly has the best snow for skiing I have seen. I have also hit Jackson Hole and parts of Utah (Alta mostly).
