The factory shocks on my fathers F150 were shot by 40k miles. Granted it hauled some heavy loads of rock and some trailers full of dirt and rock…
Still wouldn’t expect it to happen that fast on something new
TrailsOffroad would be the go-to for finding out information on a plethora of trails; onXoffroad has rolled out a feature that allows users to post the trail status too
in Colorado, the CORE group maintains a list of currently open trails
can always call the local authorities and ask them too...
It should be - otherwise I'm not sure what any of the planning I've done so far was for! Aiming for the third week of September for the fall colors - September 13th through 24th. Planning on doing Medano Pass, the entire loop minus Poughkeepsie Gulch, North Rim of the Black Canyon, and Kebler...
Absolutely wonderful writeup! Thanks for sharing your photos and the adventure with us :)
It’s something special getting out into the wild, away from the noise of civilization. I crave that feeling every single day -my upcoming trip to the San Juan’s can’t come soon enough
I started in your situation and have held out over the past 20k miles - unless you're looking to hit some level 5+ trails right now, you're well enough equipped to handle most trails
What I did first was upgrade the entire sound system, cause that gets the most use on a daily basis
I haven't...
I've only had two opportunities to use it thus far. Pulled a stump and tap root out of the ground with ease; also pulled myself out of a ditch with my front stuck against a ledge, once again, very easy, but the angles were not severe.
I will say that after Tricky Dick bent his frame horns twice...
If you can get a part number, you can replace the front nets.
the rear nets are going to be more difficult. I am not aware of any non-drill aftermarket options out there for the rears, which implies there is no clean way to remove those to be replaced
For the windows, DV8 is the only company I found who put the panels behind the rear “roll” bars, which gives you a few extra inches of space - that was a deal maker for me
Oooh - am I reading this correctly? I can upgrade to OEM LED-style taillights from my standard halogens?
If possible, could someone attach the installation instructions if coming from factory halogens?
They look good!
