Colorado Krew Hangout

Biggest one is checking for air locker leaks. My pump was running too much last year. Other than that I need to figure out how my radios work on privacy codes and I am planning to put the spare tire in the bed to get it off the back which means I may run a lighter rear bumper too.
Oh okay not a terrible list. Are you using the baofeng crap or something else? It was really easy to program using that if you are took like 5 minutes... just don't try it on a linux machine it's a pain to get installed lol.

Can you get a new bumper in time if you do decide to change it?

Looks like a really fun trail... but maybe not the best place to make sure my shit actually works right? lol
Its a fun play area, you'd quickly find any shortcomings. But thats your goal!
We first did it on 33s and stock skids. That was the first time I bent the Currie steering.
I do wonder if the garden is open all the way through...Matt bent his Currie setup there too, just after the wall if I remember

That was the ZJ steering, and it was a dumb place to bend it.

I have ruggeds and Dino helped me program the hand helds last year so they are good to go but my rugged that's vehicle mounted is what I haven't figured out and the manual they have is useless.

Can't get a savvy or I would have so I'm gonna buy a cheap one off Amazon for the trip and I'll test it out. Unless I can't fit my stuff in the tub with the tire then I'll run it all as normal.

True, I guess I was more thinking looking for things that weren't done right than build limitations but it's probably going to take the same thing.
You just need to add your user to the right group :D uucp I think for the debian derivatives.
I can't remember exactly what the problem was it was the way you installed it it was some weird thing I'd never seen before. flatpack? They stopped supporting the linux distru for Chirp so it was a pain to find at least for me

Well if it takes the same connector as the Baofeng I can program them for you when I show up if you need. I need my laptop for school and will be bringing the cable for anyone that needs. I'm no guru like Dino but I can plug and flash lol

Nice well good reason to experiment I suppose. Let me know what you end up with I need a rear bumper too

You might try the gulches, Hackett, Longwater and Metberry. Not sure how much snow would still be on the trails, though.

I kept reading they were going to close the gulches, whatever happened to that? I haven't been down there yet

Its been a minute since I last saw an update but the only closure I am aware of that was dutifully enforced was during the Hayman Fire. As far as I know, motorized use is still allowed, though there are commissioners who are actively trying to close it along with the Forest Service.

They were all open last year. Haven't heard anything new.
Okay cool, thanks. Might be a good place too. Friend is in Castle Rock those are decently close

If anyone wants an invite lmk
 
For what it's worth Bill Moore Lake was still heavily snowed in. We barely got an hour of wheeling in up + down

Not surprised, hell it is still skiing season 😅 May/June is when things become a bit more accessible.
