What did you do WITH your Gladiator today?

I’m cleaning the soot off of it with my pants. You’re welcome.

Today is Ophir and Imogene Pass. Couldn't ask for a better start to the day.

Didn't want to drive the 3500 to work. So I put the JT to work this morning, loading materials for Monday.

Truly amazing day. @darksidedesign, @Mightytalldude, and I did Imogene pass from the Ouray side, explored several side trails, and hit Ophir pass on the way to telluride for dinner. Back at camp and can’t wait for tomorrow.

I’m sure you took your turn in that water hole.
those are always a blast. You just have to remember to role up your windows.

That was a Mohave run. If I ran my rubicon through that at that speed, my axles would be in the cab. his rear wheels left the ground. He hit it at close to 30mph.

Hit up Silver Canyon in Bishop Calif. Went solo so I only took a few photos. My first time on this trail. Started it from Bishop, the climb up to 11,000ft in such a short distane was fun. Looking down to Bishop and Mt. Gabb from the top.

Great images guys thanks for sharing them. I love that area of Colo and have been remiss in visiting it lately. I cant say ive done much around Bishop Ca. Looks like ive missed a good time... darn id like get out more. Ive probably not put 100 miles of dirt under mine. That has to change! Thanks guys for the reminder!

Another perfect day with @Mightytalldude and @darksidedesign. We started out by doing Engineer Pass from the Ouray side. Then dropped down and went to Animas Forks, then dropped a little lower and did Poughkeepsie Gulch. When we got close to the wall, we encountered a very nice family who had rolled their bronco. It took all of us communicating well and taking our time, but we got them back on their tires safely, with no more damage to the vehicle. They were able to drive it out, and we received word from them later that they made it home. One Jeep made it up the wall, but traction issues, and the time of day made us decide to take it on another day. We did most of the descent in the dark. I think we all actually enjoyed that part. It’s nice to get to use the lights.

Looks like it was a pretty good trip.

Great friends and an unbelievable setting. Couldn’t ask for much more.

Great day. Good to top it off with a safe recovery, and realization that we were the last people on the trail for the day. If we hadn't come along later in the day, they may have spent the night up there.

I was not successful getting up the wall at Poughkeepsie Gulch, but it was sure fun trying.

Jeeps. Mesmerizing. Just like camp fires near parked Jeeps.

you gave it a hell of a try.

Was trying to recreate my 2003 photo of my '69 CJ-5 with my JT at Animas Forks, but close enough. Thanks again to @WILDHOBO and @darksidedesign for the Ouray trip. Memories of a lifetime.

 

[WILDHOBO]

Sorry I missed it ?
But I’ll be out near Sedona for a couple nights this weekend.

There will always be a next time. Have fun in Sedona!
