    Anyone know of some good dispersed spots near Estes Park, CO

    You might try Beaver Reservoir / Coney Flats via 96. Has a great water crossing and decent fishing from what I hear. If you don't mind a bit of fun wheeling, go up the Middle St. Vrain from Camp Dick and take the Coney Flats trail.

    Breaking in a crate motor?

    I ran 35's with my 2.5, but it was geared 4.56s. My only complaint was a 80 mph top speed here at altitude. I was running a 5 speed and had a 11 lb flywheel weight to help low end torque and rock crawling, Pulling the Eisenhower Tunnel at 35 mph sucked.

    Breaking in a crate motor?

    I have decated of experience with the 2.5L. as well as the 4.0L/Strokers. I call BS on that low of gas mileage being acceptable. I got 28 with my 1986 2.5L throttlebody. If a scan does not show up anything, take it and have an emissions test done. You have to be running insanely rich. I...

    Overland Bound Custom Work

    Just about everything is custom designed and fabricated by me on the Jeep, and the trailer was designed and built from scratch by me as well.

    Government plans increase in alcohol content in gasoline ?

    Why waste it in gasoline. If the government wants us to all be happy, just give us the extra alcohol.:laughing:

    Friday Night HAM Radio NET

    I had that same problem for a minute when I first tried to sign in. Maybe that is why we had so few people on last night.

    TAT from Mid TN to COBDR

    According to reports, Hurricane Pass will most likely be used as a bypass for Alpine Loop. That would tell me that California and Corkscrew will be part of the plan as well. Having said that, even that opening is going to be delayed and might not be ready for your timeframe. It is really more...

    Which tablet or Laptop?

    My engineering use rules out Apple. I beat the heck out of my equipment, on it 10+ hours a day six days a week. I find that ASUS will routinely last 4-5 years of abuse and are very well supported. Now with the much lower power consumption and higher speed, coupled with a touch screen, I am...
