    Dang, your still young son

    I'm 46 so MUCH older ... lol

    i might be interested as long as I can replace my rear passenger control arm bolt where it bolts to the rear axle. It's a little loose and the nut is frozen so I can't loosen or tighten it. Have tried with ratchets but plan to try with breaker bar and propane torch on Saturday! Don't wanna wheel until I get this torques correctly and I have replacement hardware in case I break it

    Heat brother heat.
    It will move.
    As well air power.
    A nice impact gun will do the trick.

    I have basic tools, sockets and ratchets and wrenches.... No impact gun at my disposal. Just picked up a propane torch today at AutoZone..... going to heat that sucker up on Saturday and use 2 breaker bars (working from under the jeep in my driveway). I've been soaking it in PB Blaster for the last few days and will continue spraying it down until the weekend. I tried cracking this last weekend and the weekend before with just hand-held ratchets and I think thats how I tweaked my back ... and it didn't budge either ;-(

    Back is feeling a little better so hopefully by the weekend it's good so I can get this done.

    If I get this done on Saturday, I'm interested in an early morning run on Sunday

    I cannot recommend this enough. I got it as an xmas present a few years ago and have not used my air impact since.

    I just got the new circular, coupon code 10388837 makes it $37.99.

    Sunday morning might be possible, but i would be starting from Southpark instead of Castle Rock. China Wall? Slaughterhouse? I will keep an eye on the post to see where it goes.

    There is a slim possibility, I'll link up with you guys. We've got a big run on the 11th. We have about 80 rigs going out on Saturday for the Wheelers for the Wounded of Colorado Veteran's Day Trail Run. Going to be down doing Hackett Gulch. So it really depends what time I get back from the Springs and how much we do with the after run party. If it is not to late a night and I don't feel like crap in the morning I should be able to make it. We did the wall (or at least tried to) for the club picnic. It was so crowded that it was more like a wall to wall parking lot.

    Looking like the "might be possible" is getting slimmer, but will know for sure tomorrow.

    It shouldn't be too crowded this time of year. The anniversary run was not too long after the trail opened for the season so a lot of people were out. I was up there a year ago October and saw a total of 3 vehicles and 2 ATV's that Saturday.

    Sounds like you have a busy day on Saturday for sure David, and for a good cause!

    David totally understand if you don't make it.
    That's a big run so will make for a long day.
    We went down Hackett a month ago.
    Condition were nice.
    Who know what you will have now.
    FYI the longwater river crossing is closed.

    WHAT?? For the year? DANG..... I'm going to wheel all winter, just won't have many options

    Doc, if you decide to change plans and do something closer to the Boulder area on Sunday, let me know and I'll join! I just can't make it to China Wall, its too far for me

    Its Nov. 9th! Only 7 weeks left in the year of the Donald. It's not motivation, it's time...
