Fourmile Dec 5 Saturday

[Paul]

On Saturday the 5th I'm taking the day off and doing a run in Fourmile. Fourmile is a lot of fun, it's pretty easy and you can cover a lot of miles in a run. We've done the whole area in our stock Xterra open / open on 31s. The seasonal gates don't affect these trails.

Hey Paul I am interested in going, I am in the middle of swapping my axles out with axles 4.10 gears. I'm waiting for a new track-bar drop bracket for the front axle. I have the rear axle in was planning on doing the front next weekend, I'm pretty sure I could always run this in two wheel drive 4 low? If it's clear,, Just really want to get up in the mountains. What do you think?

[Paul]

I think you could do it, the only part that might be challenging would be the end of Bald Mtn Gulch where it goes to the Ruby Mtn trailhead / campground; that section has some large embeded rocks that you have to crawl, but as we'd be going downhill I don't think you'd need 4wd as much as low range for speed control. I just did Bald Mtn Gulch for the first time in our Xterra this fall, it was typical easy fourmile and I finished it with a blown drivers side lower ball joint.

Sounds interesting. What time are you thinking?

[Paul]

Around 10 - 11 or whatever works.

Sounds good,

I'm curious to take my KL out (non trailhawk, so no 4LO). Trails north of 285 look very easy (Jeeper in the first video mentions he's in 2WD). As you said above, those south of 285 could be tricky. Maybe I'll just meet up with you guys as you cross over 285...

[open_circuit]

We're in. I'll likely have an extra rig or two with me

the highway sucks, but 285 is a lot better than I70. If you leave early Foxton rd to North Platte River rd to 67 to 24 to 285 is a beautiful way to go. The weather for Buena Vista shows no snow between now and then, and on www.cotrip.org the cameras show just a little snow around, I'm guessing there will be just traces left by saturday.
