Not that, it's my friggen Gladiator. Was going to go get parts and the dash lit up and won't go out of park. Spent half my day working on that. Better here than in Utah I suppose.
Fuggin stellantis bro. Hopefully it's not anything major.
got close. flew past franktown around the black forest scar from a few years back over the castle wood canyon.
nice easy flight.

Jeep Gladiator stuck in park with dashboard lights on is frequently caused by a failed auxiliary battery, a triggered "Auto Park" safety feature (door not fully closed), or a faulty brake light switch/shifter sensor. To fix it, charge the main battery, check for door sensors, or use the park override strap to move.
my two second google search.
my stupid daily egg i drive to and from work slams the brake on if i attempt to move the car with a door open

Goddess Mother, more bullshit Nanny Statism. I wouldn't own a car like that, and if I did I'd disable that bullshit one way or another. I open the door on occasion when backing up...
I replaced the auxiliary battery and it still acted up.

I’m planning a Jeep excursion in the mountains tomorrow with the family. Can anyone recommend some moderate trails within about 2 hours of Denver that are open right now?
We will have a family convoy of four Wranglers. All drivers have experience on the medium trails around the San Juans like Imogene, Yankee Boy and Corkscrew. The least-capable rig is a four-cylinder TJ with open diffs on 33s.
Thanks!

We just ran ironclads a couple days ago. It’s an off shoot of Bunce school Road which is a super easy trail. Switzerland is probably the easiest trail in the area but has some nice views. Yankee Hill is just above Central City, tends to be where everyone starts out. Most gates are still closed for the season but ven though they are clear. With the snow yesterday Yankee may be snowed in but I’d guess Bunce and Switz are still good to go. Its a little further to head south towards Rampart/Woodland park but there’s The Gulches (metberry, Hackett & something else). Rule Ridge is down there also, nothing technical but great views
I checked out ironclads on Trails Off Road after you guys were talking about it last week and it looks pretty good.
I didn’t know about the snow; any idea if it was heavier more to the north or south?
Imagine being such a retard that you:
1. Offer matching grants to mitigate fire danger, due to a current drought
2. Require the only way that funds can be awarded be through a specific vendor list, e.g. the government picking winners and losers (I grew up annually clearing roads and properties for fire risk, I'm very familiar with chain saws and chippers but couldn't go help my 80+ year old relatives and their neighbors)
3. Only approve awards after the typical end of the season (hopefully post draught conditions), effectively asking people to gamble on the idiots in government by answering the applications in the fall.
I wouldn't bet up to $50k to hope I get $25k back from the government ever.
Complete incompetence from douglas county. They (Denver gazette) even updated the post since I saw it to remove the award date language, though it is on the Douglas county website.

I'm not opposed to incentives for these goals, but this is a terrible implementation and a redirection of tax money to specific corporations.

Both Bunce and Rampart are low enough I wouldn't be worried about either. Ground temps have been warm so if anything hit guessing it melted. Berthoud pass got a few inches so assuming Yankee did too. @lBasket you get any snow on ground?
It sleeted a little bit but not even an inch. 60 yesterday so I’m sure it’s dry everywhere
