Default Colorado Ironclad Trail 8/1

Hey check out my youtube video and let me know what you think.
If you would like to go wheelin and live in the Lyons/Boulder/Denver area let me know. I am looking for poeple who want to go wheelin. I am available most days as long as I have some notice. I have done bunce school road, ironclad, sugarloaf mountain but want to find more trails and explore. I have been trail testing my jeep and it seems to go anywhere you point it!!

It rained on us crazy yesterday too, but the trail is only a 4 so it made it a lil harder which was cool. No probs w/any of the 6 rigs in our group which included an open xj on 3"/31s w/sliders.

Just sucks to not be able to have lunch w/out getting soaked. Super fun trail though. Driving in the creek was part of this trail.

ok. Doesn't help having a ghetto rigged gas skid that if I land on it it'll cut the tank straps though. Redcone was awesome but shoulda went to eagle rock with ya. I had a friend riding shotgun complain the entire day because the group stopped a few times for lunch and pics

gay we barely stopped on ER it was kinda nice to be done with the hard stuff by 1pm. your jeep wouldve had to pull strap or cable tho it was tough for us for sure.

Wow, it must've changed alot bro.

My rig had no problems and we ran a stock xj through there. Well it was a BB on 30" street tires lol. It did get a ding on the pass side rocker, but never got stuck.

I went w/Kyle. I think it was the wknd of the 17th.

Yeah, it's a gnarly trail. I could see it getting harder being wet, but that lil xj didn't have no problem. Surprinsingly though.

A few of the climbs in the beginning were kinda hard but all the big stuff had bypasses. You could probably get a stocker through it with only breaking out the tow strap once or twice
