Miller Rock, Dry St Vrain and Ironclads

Had fun with JP and Joe and their sons today! Started with Miller Rock and after the first switchback it got snowy. I had trouble at a snowy switchback for a while but JP coached me and I was able to get past the deep snow section and onward we go up and up. A few more switchbacks and Joe hits the deep stuff and slides off and JP winches him back on track but super deep snow was just up ahead and we backed down from here.

Headed over the Dry St Vrain and cruised around some fresh snow and made the first tracks on a few spurs..... then headed to Ironclads and a large 4x4 rescue group was pulling a truck out..... then we went up Ironclads and played on the big step but turned around to go counter clockwise and JP busted something on the slippery section.... then I ALMOST made it but didn’t and we all backed down and headed home.

Heres some pics and videos. Another fun Sunday wheelin’ :cool:

Looks like fun, thanks for sharing! :thumb:

Such a fun day! Thank you to everyone.

Woa, somehow I duplicated the post. Weird.... Jim when you see this can you merge the duplicate posts?



ADMIN: Yes, some weirdness. No concern - merged and cleaned up. The "intro post" of each thread - just check that the intro post in this thread (mainly the text) is what you wish.

No tie-rod snap on the ledge (the one vid had a bit of noise at the smack)?

Thanks for the fix Jim!

no tie rod snap but the hub or something brokensoon after.... hope it wasn’t too big of a break JP ;-/

not too bad. steel wheel on rock at the ledge. rim will need replaced and toasted passenger warn hub later on full throttle 4 high assault on theice hill. Gotta pay to play. :D

Pay to play is right! I gotta either gut the cats on my Jeep or replace the whole exhaust front because one of the cats are rattling and my power is down.... can barely make it up the hill. I’ve had this happen on vehicles before where the car plugs up the exhaust and when replaced (or gutted) it’s like gaining 50 horsepower

Sweet!
