April 20th

[hjeepxj]

I am 99.9999% sure I am going to be able to get the XJ out Saturday April 20th...

Anybody available? I'm thinking something 1-2 hours away from Denver and mild-ish. Still open/open (probably this season) and still trying to brush up on my skillz.

Oooof! last day of my OSHA 30 hour...

Will do!

Any good trail ideas up North you can recommend?

Both ARB's are in the axles and ready, I just haven't made time to plumb them in and install my ARB compressor. :doh:

Im a CO noob unfortunately :/

You got time... Thats supposed to be the "easy" part! Lmao

Sevenmile up north in Poudre canyon is pretty fun, there's 2 runs that I would say are hard, the rest is easy, if they still have snow it's fun. There's a gas station across the street from the trail too...

LOL - nowadays it's not for me - work is cray and the wife and I do long distance so she appreciates that I'm not wrenching in the garage when shes home lol. I did talk her in to going wheeling which I consider to be a win though! I got far enough along in my XJ build to be able to drive and wheel a little.

Cool! That sounds enticing, would you be in for seven mile?

My XJ is pretty well setup but it's currently open open and I don't have a winch (yet).

LMK your thoughts

Absolutely, down. You'll be fine, shouldn't need a winch at all, just a tow strap.

Here's the gas station's location. Any specific time in mind? https://goo.gl/maps/qrokmFd9JVH2

Sounds like a good ride. I might try to make it but I'll have to camp out there.

Hell, that sounds like a plan. I'll bring my camping gear.

Looks like we're going to have a few!!

My thought is a 10AM meeting at the gas station unless someone with some more experience suggests otherwise.

The wife and I would love to camp but our schedule doesn't allow for it.

Does anyone know how long the trail should take?

Looking forward to it!!!

Good deal on it being open! Would suck to get up there and find out it's closed
