Thanks for the update- just as well I haven't gotten out. Sounds like some of the closest off road sites won't be open this year. :confused:

Windows? What are windows on an offroad vehicle? :lmao:

A few other options a bit north (near Estes Park) would be Storm Mountain, Pierson Park Road, Pole Hill and Johnny Park Road.

Looks like fun- I haven't gotten out all year. :rolleyes: Hopefully we can make it, will know as time gets closer!

This happened a couple of months ago. To make a long story short, I did some 4- wheeling and then some weeks later I noticed that my Jeep was sagging a little in the back corner. Found out that not...

I have followed Nick for quite some time and read some of his writings. Definitely my living hero!

One more reason I built this computer- I hate waiting on the computer to do something (time is precious). It fully boots Windows 8 (from power off) to the desktop in 8 seconds- now that is fast!

Yeah, I started this build as a budget build, but as I got into it, I couldn't see saving $200-300 for a computer I plan on using for 5 years or more. Speaking of that, most of the parts I bought...

I run SolidWorks (which doesn't utilize multiple cores unless rendering/simulations). CPU speed is king so the faster the processor, the less time I sit waiting for the computer to work!

For fan size comparison, the stock Intel fan is shown next to the Panteks fan:

Here are a few pics of the build:

For the specs:
Fractal Design R4 Case (very quiet quality case)
Asus Sabertooth Z87 Motherboard (unbelievable features- armor covering, strengthened backingplate, thermal radar software, about a...

Just wondering if anyone else here builds their own performance computers / (workstations) for gaming/ 3d CAD use? I just built a blazing fast i7 Haswell running at 4.6 Ghz for less about $1300 and...

Standard batteries seem to last 5-6 years for me, however, if they are run completely dead, it shortens their life ( I could go into the technical details of why but I will spare you the boredom! :)...

That's easy- the tipping point is just a function of your center of gravity and inertia! :) Now the hard part is determining where the CG is vs. your inertia and slope...

SolidWorks 3d mechanical design, 3d print business.

Nice-thanks for posting! Makes me think I need to get out again and add to my 14er list... :D

Welcome to NoCo- looks like a capable rig!

Always sad to hear situations like this. I will keep his family in my prayers for peace through this exceptionally difficult time.

Over the last 12 years, I have been running the 33 x 10.5 KM1s on my Jeep- wore them out at ~55,000 miles and now am running the KM2s on it (~15,000 miles or so). I won't go with a wider tire- these...

I am interested in your electric fan conversion as well; unfortunately, I am not an electrical guy. But I did find this:

I couldn't get it to work through Youtube this morning- I think the traffic was too heavy. But Discovery Channel did a special report of it and showed it 'live' (I believe there was a 20 second...

It was a great day wheeling with Chris, Rob and Tom! My wife, daughter and myself had a great time braving the chilly temperatures in our open topped Jeep with the group- probably the last time...

x2- I hope to make it tomorrow but I'll see how it goes with my family... :erm:
