    Default New guy in Denver!



    I'm Jason.

    After running some super easy trails in my 2005 Forester last year I decided I wanted to actually do some off roading to access high alpine lakes a little easier for some quicker weekend fly fishing and camping.

    I proposed the idea to my girlfriend and promptly insited she talk me out of it and all she had to say was "I think I'd like that."

    So, two months later the Subaru is gone and I'm D1 on a new 2 door Rubicon.

    I'm looking forward to meeting and learning from you all. I should be hitting trails in a few weeks, right now I'm researching.

    I think my first trip will be up in the Flat Tops, but I'll start looking at your events to see which one's I should put on the calendar ASAP.

    Thanks all, Looking forward to meeting you!

    Welcome to the group!

    What does D1 mean? "I'm D1 on a new 2 door Rubicon."

    Where are these Flat Tops you speak of (there's a lot to the area I can learn)?

    I don't think I'll have the Jeep by the time Pickle Gorge is going on. I should be showing up mid July as best I can tell.

    It really does seem like a great group. I'm looking forward to meeting you all.

    D1 is basically order accepted and scheduled to be built. To get a soft top alone in this state is a feat, but with my combo there wasn't anything like it, so I ordered from the factory.

    What I know as the flat tops is the west end of the White River NF and the East side of the eagle Ranger district above Hanging lake and Glenwood Springs. Lots of trails up there, and lots of opportunities to fish. Not a ton of HARD trails but there are things like transfer trail, which will be good for me to progress on. I didn't dare bring the Subaru down that trail, I took coffee pot road up and then explored the less known trails above hanging lake. Very peaceful, didn't see another soul after the first day.

    keep your eyes on the calender, and the little yellow bar at the top.
    there will be the planned runs.
    congrats on the accepted, build sheet.
    so what are the specs you ordered?

    Pretty Simple.

    2 door Rubicon HR, soft top, manual trans, heated seats, Side airbags, and Auto temp controls.

    Rhino color.

    I was going with just a Rubicon, but what I wanted put me within $400 of the HR and then it had a lot more options. If I need to sell it later that should make it easy. I'll need to find some waterproof seat covers at some point.

    Hello, and welcome!!

    Check out Trailsoffroad.com to find some trails. I know one or two of the writers on there

    Keep an eye on the Adopt a trail clean up thread, if your new jeep shows up in time that's one of the best events to meet some members, get in a trail, and help the group with our adopted trails. Even if your Jeep doesn't show up in time, I have no doubt we could find some open seats if you'd still like to join.

    Welcome, from another new Hard Rock owner! There's nothing quite like picking up a new Jeep and seeing your name on the window sticker.
