I have a handheld you're welcome to borrow. ?

Thanks! I’ll also see about picking one up. Looks like some handhelds aren’t very expensive. Any recommendations?

I’ll meet you guys at the trailhead tomorrow.

This is what I started with, and used a few times with others. It's GMRS capable, but not FCC (GMRS) compliant. SHhhhhh.....?.

And I watch a LOT of this guy. I really like his schtick!

Nope, not if you are willing to ride in the middle of the group. I don't abandon fellow Jeepers.

I got a call from them. Mine will ship soon.

My metal cloak braces still haven’t gotten here, so I am out. I hope they show up before 25th otherwise I will have to weld the sway bar brackets ?. I will be at Rudy’s tomorrow morning to drop off the second hand held for the Ouray trip.

 

[DocMike]

See local team at 07:00 at Rudy's. Rest of you, at the trail head.

Okay, found one at Wally-World this afternoon and submitted for my FCC license. All set on 15

All good. It's a rough trail. Set off my collision sensors last year. We do not want anyone at risk of being left behind. Many of us will have recovery gear, but I am an all in and all out kinda guy. We take care of the group.

Good time had by all. Except the Tacoma that got stuck at the gatekeeper and screwed up the trip for all.


26 degree down angle on loose rock is a bit of a pucker fest.

Check the flex from @FR33DOM @Clayton Off Road overland plus for the win.
I may have recorded a commercial for them as I did this section without lockers.

And because I gots to. I topped off at Rudy's, and still had over 3/4 of a tank when we were talking about Radical Hill. This surprised even me (near the end of the of the ride). ??

HAHAHAH!!!!! Way to rub it in, buddy.
How much is diesel a gallon these days?

For those that don't know....Waggs "I paid for these skids, I will use them all!"
Wheels a JTRD. And might as well wear a cape. Jeep should sponsor him as he does more in a stock JT than I have seen some modded ones do. Super chill guy.

Should point out the trail to the left there is Webster Pass. Closed due to snow.
Up top, it looks like a tiny bit of snow. 30 min with shovels tops.....

NOPE. NOPE. It's quite a bit of snow.
