I'm not going to be able to make it out this weekend, just simply too much to do right now.

Hey Dieseldoc and RockyMtRebelI'm new here and pretty new to 4x4ing would this trail be good for me? Hopefully it's not super heavy rock crawling? I have a full size pickup
Re: Wheelin Sat or Sun Jan 20 or 21
Hackett is not so friendly for full size.
We did see a F250 diesel in there this last weekend. But he had to winch out in one spot
There are 2 there much more friendly to full size.
You are welcome to come along and park it once you feel it's to much. Ride the rest
Re: Wheelin Sat or Sun Jan 20 or 21
ok cool, I'll tag along and go for as long as I can
Re: Wheelin Sat or Sun Jan 20 or 21
Awesome! Sounds like we have a good group going. Glad you decided to come.
Re: Wheelin Sat or Sun Jan 20 or 21
I will be letting some others know as well.
Hope Billy brings his little buggy out.
I have a 4 door so once you hit your max point you are welcome to ride along.
Re: Wheelin Sat or Sun Jan 20 or 21
Can't wait to finally check out the Gulches! As of now the weather is supposed to be nice on Saturday with the snow storm rolling in late Saturday and early Sunday so we should have sun for most of the time!

Re: Wheelin Sat or Sun Jan 20 or 21
Matt you will enjoy this area.
will need to camp down there some time so you can run them all!
4 of them now.
Preditor(2nd half of the sports mans loop back in the day) is getting more travel and the bottom is nasty! I would like a group thats willing to go up this!
Hackett is always a good time. Wish park county would reopen there side so the longwater/Hackett loop can be run again!
Longwater- the easy one of the bunch. One big rock to climb other wise a nice drive with good views.
Mettberry_ the more popular of the group as its the one more friendly to the stokers and less experienced.
Still a good time for sure!
Dillon is the woman coming out this week? If so oyu going to bring her along to see your new friends and the crazy things we do?
I think we should get you up the ledge this weekend! put matt facing down hill for you with the cable on your front end to keep you from doing a back flip!
Re: Wheelin Sat or Sun Jan 20 or 21
Did you say nasty? Whatcha callin nasty buddy? Haven't made the trip because I remember the, being fairly easy and its a long trip.
Re: Wheelin Sat or Sun Jan 20 or 21
Dieseldoc I checked her itinerary and she isn't flying in until the 25th. Looks like ill be flying solo this weekend. I think I might be up for predator this weekend with the idea of having a cable keeping me stable. Makes me nervous thinking about it right now lol
Hell whats the point of having a jeep! I'll give it a go!
I'm up for any trail this weekend. I think this is going to be a good weekend to ride. Ready for Saturday
Re: Wheelin Sat or Sun Jan 20 or 21
. I don’t think I’m up for the gulches on Saturday but Phillip if you see this I might be into Switzerland or Bunce. I’ll check back later!
Re: Wheelin Sat or Sun Jan 20 or 21
Sorry Phillip didn’t see your post. Take care man!
Re: Wheelin Sat or Sun Jan 20 or 21
Re: Wheelin Sat or Sun Jan 20 or 21
I've been keeping an eye on this, I may be in. I'm still debating the 3 hour drive. I have really been wanting to check out to gulches. It sounds like the group is interested in doing the easier trails? Will I be fine here with an open front dif? I haven't had a chance to fix my ARB yet, I'm thinking it's the solenoid gone bad since the compressor never shuts off and I don't hear any air leaking. Also I have some weird rattle going on in the rear passenger, I'm thinking it's control arm bushings going bad but I haven't found anything the moves yet... grrr.
Re: Wheelin Sat or Sun Jan 20 or 21
tyler Hacket is not easy. but it is not the hardest thing I have done.
But it is a good time.
you will be fine with open diff.
I used 4lo only at the bottom, for the ledge and the ICE field shown in the pics.
the pics show a rig going down the ledge! up is much more fun
I know the drive is not nice. Its 2.5 hours for me 74 miles to the top of hackett from my place
Re: Wheelin Sat or Sun Jan 20 or 21
I'm driving from Estes Park basically, but I have wanted to check the gulches out for a while and the time is here

Re: Wheelin Sat or Sun Jan 20 or 21
we should put together a camp trip on a long weekend.
there is a great spot with running water and room for a large group.
Re: Wheelin Sat or Sun Jan 20 or 21
Brandon, which routes should we do? I understand there are 4 and I'm hoping we can get two in if possible...... Hackett and Predator?
