Snuck off to Coalmont with some guys from work. Back in summer it was dusty and miserable. This time it was muddy as hell lol. Most fun I've had in a while. My guide was gonna show me the Gulf but there were fast moving streams that were life threatening. So we stuck to the power lines. Never seen so much mud, water, and steep climbs. Looking forward to going back when the weather warms up.

Looked like the power line we were on
It was, well most of it. One guy grew up in Coalmont so he knows all the trails by heart. I think even you would've had fun yesterday lol. It was constant slippery mud. Remember all those super steep ruts?? Imagine them full of water and muddy as hell lol. You need to give the place one more chance.

I didn't have that much problem with the pole line. We had a decent ride that day exploring but past the water treatment plant is not worth it. The pole line was where you found that helmet.

I know I started to stop and look for that helmet lol. But we came in from the other direction. Plus I didn't want them knowing I'm a dumpster diver lol. I don't care if y'all know lol.

The ole girl threw a fit again yesterday after her bath. This time I wrote down the flashes on the dash. 2 short flashes which would be a 1-1 code in the manual. Low voltage signal to map sensor. Map sensor is in the area where I see a little steam when trying to start it, so it all makes sense. Sometime this week I'm going to pop the connector and inspect. I'd bet I'm getting water inside it. I'll dry it out and apply a little dielectric.

@CumminsPusher did 1 5/8" tubing work for the entire cage for sleeves? Thought I remember you saying some of it was smaller than 1.75" OD.

I believe 1 5/8 and 1 1/2 od. Front and back different. The 1 1/2 rear was a little loose you could grind down 1 5/8 to fit
