    Thanks! Hey, I'm a former LEO too :)

    COLORADO: 4WD Road & Trail Conditions.

    Hi there, I looked at the Full Size Trails link re: permits and was surprised to see some trails that I've driven numerous times on the list requiring permits: Hancock Pass, Italian Pass, and Tomichi Pass to name a few. I don't remember ever seeing signage on these stating there are permits...

    Southern Wyoming in June - what to do?

    Sorry, should have specified that we'll be in our own ZR2.

    Third try - now a Bison!

    Thanks! The MOLLE panel is just one I found on Amazon. It's hard plastic and pretty rigid which is good; in our old Z71 we bought seat covers with MOLLE webbing but without a stiffener they were so flimsy they wouldn't hold anything still at all - everything flopped around and we could never...

    Third try - now a Bison!

    Been kinda quiet lately, needing to spend money on other priorities. But, since the last post we've added a MOLLE panel on the back of the driver's seat with first aid kit in easy reach and a hydration bladder. I've found that I often don't drink enough water while driving because my hands are...

    Southern Wyoming in June - what to do?

    So, here's the dilemma: we are going to a wedding near Jackson, Wyoming, in June. The wedding concludes late Saturday night and we're getting a hotel room that night, but we have from Sunday morning until Monday night before we have to be home in central Colorado. What could we do with the ~36...

    Hello from Colorado Springs

    Ah, you've got to be f*@#ing kidding me.

    Hello from Colorado Springs

    Are you referring to Hackett, Metberry, and Longwater Gulches? I hope not!

    Hello from Colorado Springs

    Welcome! If we cross paths I will need to wipe the drool off of your Defender...

    Colorado

    Take advantage of that shift! Trails anywhere near the Front Range get really crowded on the weekends, so weekday wheeling would be very enjoyable!

    Paper maps? still a thing or no?

    Gazetteer is great for high-level views, but if you want real detail and relatively current information these are the way to go, at least in my area. Plus, Trails Illustrated is a layer on Gaia as well :).

    Paper maps? still a thing or no?

    So, I've used a GPS with mapping feature for a long time but am a recent Gaia convert. That being said - I ALWAYS have paper maps as a backup (the Gazetteer as mentioned, plus NatGeo Trails illustrated if available for my area). Electronics break, maps and compass don't.

    Purchased tickets, hope it's a go!

    Overland Expo Mountain West 2021

    We bit the bullet and registered (only for general admission, would love to do the Overland Experience but $$$$). Hopefully it's not canceled again and we'll see you folks there!

    2018 Chevy Colorado

    I had a 2018 ZR2. First thing's first: get some ground clearance up front! I started off by just cutting off the stupid air dam because it actually led to me getting stuck once, but I eventually replaced the whole bumper with a Westin tube bumper with skid plate. Biggest mod we did otherwise...

    Let's see some HAM setups in your rigs

    Mounted the remote head above the rearview mirror, radio lives under the back seat.

    Snorkel

    I had one on my '07 FJ Cruiser, and while I don't have anything empirical to back it up I do think the intake air was cleaner (I cleaned my own K&N so got a good comparison) and although I didn't test it in deep water I feel it gave me a peace of mind. The only issue I ran in to was when...

    ZR2 owners

    What front level kit did you use? I'd really like to stuff 285/70/17's in mine.

    Third try - now a Bison!

    We installed the Decked system over the weekend. It's as everyone described - very straightforward and although it was nice having help to speed assembly and lift parts into place it could be a solo job. The only dig against Decked is we discovered one of the roller wheel axles was missing...
