Yet Another Excursion into the NW and SW States.

[mjn]

Oh my God....GUNS...EEEEK I’m scared

Don’t let the liberals see them

LOL!! yea... I'm always armed when out in the brush. I'm on the far left.. always have either a Sig or 1911, but this was an all day ride so I strapped on my Smith 22 also just in case we stumbled on to any attack squirrels. It's hard to tell, but everyone in that photo is armed.
My little brother in the middle thinks he's Wyatt Earp.. Pretty sure he has a pair of .45 Colts in that photo hahaha!

I'm about ready to order some new tires. Its between tensor regulators and evos. I'm using my stock steel wheel like u did. I was wondering if u have any rubbing at full comprehension? Also do u get alot more mud throwed in the cab of the machine due to the front tires being a inch wider than stock? Nice pics by the way.

Full comprehension? I dunno? Lol.
Little to no mud thrown into cab but they don’t seem to like slick mud.

Lol compression

Lol compression

I’m sorry but I still don’t know what you mean. I do know the tires are 8 ply steel belted even in the sidewalls and I’m running them at 10 Psi.

I liked the EVO’s too but the tread seemed too open btw lugs and thought they’d be loud/vibrate on pavement

Heading south today going into Utah and maybe as far as Colorado

Full compression is when the shock is pushed all the way up. He’s asking if there is any tire rub when you hit a hard bump, when the rig is compressing from an impact or landing from a jump.

 

[100Acre]

No compression or tire rub that I can tell. I still want to add some Fox shocks at some point too. The stock shocks are a bit rough. I wonder where I can get some Fox while traveling?
Even though I swore them off, I thought about stopping at RMATV on my way south into Utah

Check out the ITP Terra Hooks made by the same company as the EVOS, they just released them this week, came in Tuesday. I went and paid for them Thursday and got a look at them, think there going to be killer, lugs are closer together and a little shorter. I've got EVOS now and have never had a flat. I called ITP and asked if the side wall was going to be the same as the EVOS, answer, yes just different tread pattern. $ 175 a tire mounted + tax at Freedom Power sports Fayetteville AR. ITP's have one of the stiffest side walls in the business and made in the good ole USA! Going to pick them up up next Wednesday mounted.

I’m up on Grand Mesa just SE of Grand Junction Colorado. It was a 12 hour drive. It got up to 100* driving across hwy 6 from Payson Utah down to Green a River. Beautiful desert country. I’d love to explore more of the backcountry. Just more like in the fall or winter. During the time btw the Jurassic and Cretaceous, much of the NW parts of Colorado was a coastal flood plain on the edge of a vast inland sea. The whole area is teeming with fossil remains. When I got up to the top of the Mesa, it was 60*
Freaking wiped out. Tomorrow I’ll head down to Montrose and pick up my OHV permit, before heading to Lake City, where I’m supposed to meet up with @Alan and friends for some further exploration. I’m also hoping to drive across and over to Silverton and maybe Ouray. Thanks Alan for the tips. I’m at Island Lake CG. I got one of the last two sites. Camping next to some young Mennonites from Missouri who’re exploring the west.

What time did you get the Island Lake?

I am putting in the link here to the lake city Colorado photo thread as all of my photographs from the area and the Alpine Loop are being posted over there so I am posting a link to that onto this thread so as to keep everything in order from this trip. Thank you

A lot smaller than your lead to believe isn't it? I'm still glad I went

Me too. If you saw the pictures before Borglum began work on it and watched the films of how it was accomplished in 1920’s technology, and the striking accuracy of the four presidents likenesses, I consider it nothing less than spectacular. Also a symbol of American pride...
