Yeah, the Syracuse Mine switchback south of Engineer was noticeably more torn-up for sure. It appeared more people were using the inside line to get around the mini shelf. The 'T' in the road at Animas was more rocky and loose than I can remember this year. I haven't been through California to...

You could easily drive just the Alpine Loop in 4-5 hours, and much less than that if your in a hurry. If you go slow and stop a lot and check things out it will be longer. I'm out of Lake City and if I leave at 8am and don't do too much I can be home by 12-1pm. If you go on the weekend in the...

No worries. - I'd start with driving from Hwy 50 to Hwy 550 to Ouray and Silverton. Both towns are honey traps (lol) with a few more services and things to do in Ouray. (you'll pass Black Bear, Imogene, Yankee Boy, ect...dont do those! LOL) - Silverton is cool with the train coming in usually...

Thats my backyard. I've seen FWD sedans make it as far as Burrows Park from Lake City. Lake City-Silverton-Animas Forks can all be done in a stock 4x4. The Syracuse Mine Switchback is the only real 'obstacle' on the Alpine Loop, and it's really just a shelf switchback. You'll be good.

Shut up and take my money! :love:

That is crazy. Ford knows their hardtops are garbage, and they're shitting on the people that have legit warranty claims? I'd go Waco crazy if that happens to me. Keep escalating with Ford.

I should create a YT channel with my hot-wife soley for the clicks of the leg humpers, and get paid to talk about a few things I like and everything I don't like. That video was about as biased as you can get. How much did he get from Bilstein to wear that t-shirt? Clowns...

*runs off to go buy new tie-rods*

Pro tip: Crystal Lake up Bristol Head has some very good fishing. Or at least it did the last few years. I haven't been there this year.

It's from Valkyrie. https://valkyrieoffroad.com/shop/license-plate-relocation-kit-bronco/

I don't understand why you think that if I had mud flaps on the front only, that some how I'm being inconsiderate to drivers around me without mud flaps on the rear. Do you drive down the road and see a Bronco, a truck, or SUV and think, "wow, that guy is an ass for not having ANY mud flaps?"...

Freemons has awesome burgers! The Lake City Cafe has the BEST Shrimp and grits. Plenty to do and see over here for sure.

I'd love to see the Front only option. I wanna buy these, but don't want or need the rear mudflaps.

Yep. It's funny when people in subaru's ask if they can make it to the trailhead, lol....

No shit! That whole area over the past 5 years has been hammered by SxS's. The roads to Carson and Cuba Gulch are so rough now I wont take my 4 wheeler up there. Nellie Creek used to be a fun cruise and now it's rough as hell. As I said in the OP the Golconda Mine used to be decent and its much...

I'm not familiar with the others, but the Nat Geo maps are pretty good for what they are, and you should be good. I carry a few in the truck and Bronco. I also have the On X Offroad app for my phone and that thing is amazing, with very detailed info. Edit: I carry a Garmin Montana 610 as well...

Yep, lots of places. There is great camp grounds and dispersed camping along the Alpine Loop. Burrows Park is a popular camping spot with (3) 14'ers out of that area. The Cinnamon Pass side has a lot of non-marked private land and claims in the area, so be aware of that. Deer Lakes in between...

A few people have asked me some questions, so I'll repost this: I dont know which way your coming from Lake City, Silverton, or Ouray, but I'm coming from Lake City and going up the Loop from either direction is easy. - The entire Alpine Loops is doable in a non-SAS Bronco. There is one...

$1,800 and 100+lbs....I'd love to shitcan my OEM Bronco box but not for that price and weight.

A stock Black Diamond should be good to go for the Loop. I've seen 4 door cars make it as far as American Basin, although they probably drove a little different after,LOL. Going through Animas Forks and down to Silverton, and most of the surrounding trails you should be good. I'd definitely...
