Colorado meet June 24th

[getrdone52]

There will be a meet at Oskar Blues up in the Longmont area if anyone knows where it is. We will meet there at around 5:00-5:30 pm and have dinner and what not. The reason its so late is there will be some guys doing a trail at left hand canyon before. We want it to be 2 wheel drive friendly for some of the guys on other forums. We would pick an easier trail but that is the closest one to Oskar Blues. If anyone knows an easier trail not too far from Oskar Blues post it up in here. I'm not sure what time we will be meeting at the trail but I will keep you guys updated.

Hopefully we can get some more guys going. Oskar Blues has good beer and good food and is located in Longmont.

[getrdone52]

Ya Longmont. I fixed it

[getrdone52]

Nobody in Colorado can go?

[crawlin91]

Any more info on the trail ride?

[getrdone52]

We will most likely be going to left hand canyon. We probably won't go the while trail because there are some 2wd guys going. I guess they could ride with someone with 4x4

[crawlin91]

meet at the trailhead/entrance to lefthand? what time? and how big of group is anticipated at the trail run?

[getrdone52]

Ya probably meet at the entrance at 12. I'm guessing 5 or less people will go on the trail. There is some guys over on FRF that said they wanted to go

[crawlin91]

just took a few minutes and read through the thread on FRF.
Id like to do some wheeling at lefthand.
I was up there last fall, and snapped some pics, It is fairly mild but there are some very steep climbs and challenging areas, most of which are avoidable by simply taking the more mild trails.
Either way should be fun.

Ya I was up there a few months age with my friends jeep. I hope I get my 4x4 working by then

[crawlin91]

Did your electric shift motor quit working? We could throw in that case real quick tomorrow, my morning is free now so you could stop over any time after 9 a.m.

[getrdone52]

Ya and I rebuilt it and it still didn't work so I just left it off. That would be awesome! How long would it take to put in? And I need a driveshaft from a 95-96 explorer. So I could just drive without a front driveshaft for a little right?

[getrdone52]

Uhhhh.... I have some bad news. My very good friends mom died and the funeral is on the 24th. I have been looking forward to this for weeks and I can't even go. I hope there is another Colorado meet soon. Sorry guys.

[crawlin91]

Ive heard of the later Rangers needing the different front shaft with the manual case swap, it would be fine to run without one for a bit. Should be able to swap the new one in a few hours.

[getrdone52]

Sweet! Do you need me to bring any tools or anything? Another set of hands? Haha

Sorry for your loss.

We will see you at the next event I am sure.

Shouldnt need any extra tools, maybe just some fluid for the tcase.:icon_thumby:

[getrdone52]

Thank you.

Oh yes I will get that tomorrow.

[crawlin91]

Good to meet you guys today. Get some more fluid in that case and a new d-shaft, you will be good to go.

[getrdone52]

Ya thanks for your help. Going to the junk yard for a driveshaft tomorrow and put some fluid in it and I'll never have to worry about my 4x4 again! We just finished working on my friends T-Case for his Jeep. We're experts now haha

Crawlin...you planning on meeting up at Oskar Blues? I have a thread going over on RMFTC too. Seems like there will be a decent sized group going...maybe 10 rigs or so.

However, the wheeling part doesn't seem like it will happen to me. One 4x4 guy over on FRF seems interested...and a couple 2wd guys. You should jump on over there and try to coordinate something. No one seems to want to take inititative enough to set something up.

I will see you all there.:icon_cheers:

Ill probably just spend the day finishing my axle truss, etc. Too hard to plan a last minute trail run, but maybe we can set something up for July at the meet.

[WyldeChild]

Sounds good. Catch you tomorrow
