I just got a 2023 1500 and am looking to get a lift and tires along with maybe a front or back bumper. Im up in the boulder area but could make it down to Denver if need be any recommendations are appreciated.

Hey y’all! I just picked up a 2012 Raptor that’s is really great condition and am hoping to get it off road but with some speed. I’m in the Denver area and am wondering where are some places I can take it to get that Baja style feel?

I was rigged up for a pull before I went in the mud.

(PFA) Anyone know if the moderate trails out of Montezuma are still passable? Looking to do Deer Creek, Saints John, and/or NF Swan tomorrow, and I couldn’t find any pictures or reports from the last week or two.

I know that area had some snow drifts, but I’d love to hear from anyone who’s been up there recently. Thanks in advance!

I see a lot of references about the mailbox being a memorial but I haven't been able to find information about how it got there and why its associated with 9/11. Could someone explain?

I asked about Medano Pass the other day got a lot of comments concerned about the recent winter storm. Happy to report the trail had SOME snow, but very little (even still almost no contact with tires) and I wouldn’t be surprised if it were all melted out by the end of the day today. Water crossing were under 18”. Sand is a bit firm from the rain/melting snow but everything is very passable. Super fun I enjoyed and would recommend the trail :D

Hi everyone, I have off-road experience. I have a 96 4runner 3in lift and 33s on bead grip Method wheels. I’m curious if anyone knows of the current conditions because I’d like to check it out before it closed. Thank you!

Firestone destination m/t, 235/85-16. Will fit alot of trucks. 16/32 remaining on all tires.

Any owners of the Land Cruiser 250 in the Boulder area?

I'm trying to do a garage fit check prior to putting an order in. None of the dealers have anything local to drive. I have gone to a local dealership to measure (1958 and Land Cruiser trim), but I'll be within an inch. I'll buy a case of beer or your beverage of choice! DM me if in the area.

Cheers

Curious what everyone's thoughts are on the better way to run Kingston Peak. Trails offroad has the route starting on the north end and finishing by Loch Lomond, funtreks sends you the opposite way. Easier or harder one way vs the other?

Hello all! My wife and I are heading to Colorado Springs this weekend for a few days and am looking to run some trails for the first time. Was looking at doing amount Baldy (379, 379.A) how is that trail for a first timer? Doable or should I turn around before the major shelf section starts. Thanks for your input!

I've got a moderate amount of experience, and I'm in a '00 Nissan pathfinder with 2" lift, 32" LT rated wildpeaks, armored bumper and skidplate, and a winch. No lockers yet. So far I've been looking at the trails in the Mt Antero area. I've also been checking out Tomichi pass and Hancock pass, but I understand that there are partial closures, and I don't know enough about the area to really plan a route around that. Thanks in advance!

Seen a few videos and pictures of Imogen pass and want to check it out before winter hits. Heard it has some pucker factor but seems like it's mostly gravel without much crawling or river passing. Think a stock 1990 4runner could make it through in one piece or not worth the risk?

E: Has difflockers, all terrain tires. No rocksliders or aftermarket bumpers

I’ll be going to crystal mill, and then telluride in hopes of doing a little dispersed camping this weekend. Until now I’ve always booked in advance. I’ll be coming in from glenwood springs side, does anyone have recommendations for dispersed camping areas? Also which sites or apps do you recommend? Same for the Ouray/Telluride area if there are suggestions and nice hikes. I drive a stock 20 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk so off-roading isn’t my objective here. Mostly dirt trails etc!

Hi all! New to this sub but hoping you can help. I do marketing research and I’m working with a lighting client who is working on bringing a new lighting system to market. I need to get opinions from some of you experts and you’re hard to find in traditional marketing research ways.so here I am on Reddit :)

Would any of you be up for a paid interview to talk to me about lighting?

I am aware this looks like spam, but alas, this is my actual job and I would really like to talk to you!

tl;dr I have a lifted, very capable Forester that can't quite cut it anymore. Thinking Jeep. Need feedback.

Okay, for starters, I'm much more a Yankee Boy Basin (off)roader than a Porcupine Rim offroader, if that makes sense. Coming from Washington, I'm very familiar with rough FS roads, and a bit of overlanding. My Forester is lifted, armored, has bigger tires, a winch, and so on. We've had many grand adventures. Moved to the Western Slope a couple years ago. Colorado dirt has been as expected: a bit steeper, a bit (perhaps quite a bit) rougher, with fewer chances of bail-out, and a whole lot less cell reception. The Forester is getting up in years, and with 130k+ on the original CVT, I'm getting less confident about my adventures.

I'm looking at used Jeeps, and while a Rubi would be nice, I kinda think I don't quite need it. I will likely never do crazy stuff in Moab, or do the really hard sections of the Rubicon Trail. Black Bear and Red Cone are probably the hardest things I will ever attempt. Driving? Yes. Crawling? Eh... probably not.

Wrangler Sports tend to be MUCH cheaper in the used market out here, it seems, like, disproportionately cheaper. For what I want to do, the Sport seems to make more sense. I should also note that I tend to be cheap as hell, so I don't want this decision to be about price. Basically I'm trying to make this decision while the Subaru still has at least a little trade-in value.

If I'm being too vague, pls ask me to clarify. If I'm grossly misunderstanding the requirements for what I want to do, pls correct me. Thx.

My 4x4 is a 1999 K3500 Work Truck, 454, long bed, crew cab, single rear wheels.

We’ve started gently using it to get on the trails above Silverton, but given the LONG wheelbase I’m very wary of running into switchbacks that are too tight to navigate.

Recently we did California and Hurricane passes running from Animas Forks into Gladstone with zero issues and had a great time. However, the first switchback coming down California Pass on the Lake Como side was pretty close to the turn radius limit without doing a multi point turn, and I know some of these are so steep/off camber that you can’t always do that.

Thoughts on what in the area to stay away from? My don’t touch list is currently Black Bear, Mineral Point, Poughkeepsie Gulch.

I’d really like to do Corkscrew Gulch, but am worried about the description of the switchbacks near the top on the Ironton side.

Engineer and Cinnamon are also high on the list but we are holding off for a less busy opportunity than your typical weekend. I’m on the fence with Imogene- doable in a big truck?

Any other suggestions?

I’d rate myself average skill wise. I’ve lived in Colorado 40 years and have a lot of varied experience on 4x4 trails, usually with less than optimal vehicles.
