Colorado Krew Hangout

six years in alaska. highest storm level we saw was 5.3 and it was overcast. so we didn’t even see it.

Supposed to be a bigger storm tonight.

Hopefully we can see it from Denver
 
I'll let you guys know for sure. I figured it would be the cat's ass on something where balance could frequently change (mud on the tire, chunks out of the tread, gouges out of the beadlock ring). Maybe I am expecting too much?

I ran SX Swampers in both 33x15.50 and 36x12.50 on my '69 Bronco back in the 90's. I would frequently run 70 to 80 with no issues up and down both I-25 and I-80 on a spin balance. I would like figure out why these radials are so shitty at 65 to 70.

Going back to the balancing beads thing, I got my 37’s mounted on the Walker Evans beadlocks. 2 of them I got to spin balance with less than 3oz of weight per side but the other 2 were calling for 6oz +. No way to fit that and I didn’t feel like breaking down 48 beadlock bolts to rotate so I just threw 15oz of beads in both of those tires. I’d say it drives 95% good up to 85mph. A little bit of shake around 63-65 and again at 73ish but it’s minor enough I’m going to live with it for now.
 
I haven't had a chance to mess with mine to yet. Unfortunately, the Jeep has been sitting in the shop.

It seems like some of the low elevation trails should still be open given it's 60s out this week and into next.

Mine is in a storage unit, but I should probably run over there and get it out to pass emissions to re-register.

Does your unit have electrical in it?
 
Unfortunately no, so I just yanked the battery and figure I can bring the battery home if I need to trickle it.

None of them do apparently. At a previous company I worked at we had a job in Laredo TX. We were renting a deep storage unit. Enough to park a a truck/trailer and have shelving and a desk on the sides. It was equipped with overhead lights and multiple outlets. I've never been able to find anything like that here.

I’m in, where and when? I’ll gladly procrastinate an axle swap and mid arm install to get another wheeling trip in.
