As you already know I am planning on making it down there. Cut the fenders big, this time! Also got my rear beadlocks in, I ground off all of the powdercoating on the inner lip (now small bell) and will be dumping some muriatic (sp?) acid on the steel to make it rust the bead of the tire to the rim for some extra assurance. Changed the diff fluid after the recent R&P change, so I will be good to go.

Sorry, got to bail on the Powerhouse trail. Just broke my power steering box :(. We will have to meet up later this summer and do some wheeling then.

Dang, Way!! I hate to hear that. I just installed the new axles and I'll have the Mastercrafts installed by that weekend! I hoping to break them in. We'll get up soon, though. Let me know when you want to run. I'm up for it most anytime ---- weekends, weekdays ---- I'm pretty flexible. Maybe someone else will be up for that weekend. If not .... :confused:

I am still happy to give you a guided tour of Farmington that weekend. I never mind sitting shotgun, especially in Mastercraft seats! The trails I have in mind will be a lot easier than the Powerhouse trail, but I promise a little excitement if you take up the offer. Should be moving to Colorado Springs before July 1st, so from what I remember Erie is very close (if not in) Denver area. Colorado Springs is mighty close.

hey Way,

I can't find my link to the pictures of the trail. Can you put it up so people can drool?

:D

You bet Ciocc77,

Here is the link you sent me. The pictures are already saturated with my drool, so I don't see any harm having them get any more drool.

Great pics, Way! That just wetted my appetite even more!! ... I just can't find anyone else to run the weekend of the 8th!!! It looks like I may have to end up waiting a little longer - :(

I'm about 2 hours from the Springs --- definately close enough to get together and run some stuff. I may take you up on the Farmington deal --- I just wish I had a longer weekend because of the travel involved to get down that way --- definately by the end of the summer, though.

Tiz, you won't hear any excuses from me!!!:D The women can go play in Boulder and we'll go wheel. All I want is one other truck with us and we're there.

I really wish I could go, but I am selling my house/buying a house/and moving in that time frame. God knows I could use the relief.

What about spring creek or something else when Tisdale is back around? Whaddya think John?

I'm up for anything that weekend. If you're talking Spring Creek near Idaho Springs I ran it this past Thursday and thought Lefthand/Carnage canyon was more fun. There was only one obstacle on Spring Creek that gave me a run for my money -- (although actually airing down would've helped tremendously). I'd like to check something that's a bit more technical than either one of those if there is anything.

I'll keep the weekend that Tisdale is coming out open (its the wknd after July 4th) and we can talk as time gets closer-

Good luck with the house-
