Absolutely great trip, and great to meet you in person!

I was looking at those too. Can’t go wrong with either, I think.

RCI, with the pinch weld covers. Got them installed before this trip, but still haven’t been used. I take safe lines because I have to drive back to Long Island, 🤣

Just turned 60. Did San Juan Mountains this year out of Ouray.

I entered late for October, trying again for November. 😉 Imogene Pass, September 3, 2025.

As soon as I put on the filter wrap, within 5 minutes, threw a bunch of warnings and went into limp mode. I couldn’t manually shift in 4 low. It bogged down badly, totally air starved. I guess the thin air at that altitude was too little for the wrap. Once I removed it and restarted, it ran...

So, I had an issue wheeling last week in the San Juan Mountains, specifically, Engineer, Imogene, mineral Creek passes. I kept hearing a loud clank that was dismissed as a rock bouncing off my skid plates. Well, something was….it was my gas tank skid! I altered it a bit with a dremel and a file...

Thanks. Feeling a bit better. Got a cortisone shot Monday and already started PT. Hope the shoulder is healing quick! Figured the skids were a good idea for Colorado. See you in 2 weeks! Gonna be awesome to finally meet you and the others. Met a few last year in Moab at Dewey’s.

Foutz Diff skid and rear shock skids. Had it installed at the local 4x4 shop cuz I went and tore my meniscus, 🙄

I agree. Wasn’t a thought, at the time. Just how I maneuvered into position. 😁
