I have a few friends that go to DU, but they are all hipsters and thusly are NOT into Jeeps (or anything that does not involve those stupid fedora hats coincidentally).

I live in Broomfield though, and work in the DTC area currently.

Lucky! I would love to work in a datacenter. Right now I have to hear clients **** and moan every time they cant figure out something simple, and I sometimes have to drive 30 mins to hard-reboot a machine

Computers are much more friendly and never criticize me :/

But really, we should go on some tame trails. I have nerd 225's and a Dana 35 rear axle so I don't want to push it, but I'd like to get some trail time on it! I get new headlights & rear driveshaft SOON.

That would be fun man. And don't worry about going easy -- I'm new to the off road world and will have a newly lifted Jeep with new tires so I won't want to be too hard on it either!

Ooh, I would totally be down to go snow-wheeling up lefthand, or any other mild/medium trail, if anyone wants to have a noob meet-up.

I just got my Jeep, and it's my DD so I don't want to be breaking parts either.

Cool. How does lefthand deal with the snow melt? I mountain bike a bunch so usually its good while frozen then bad for 2-3 days until it dries up...but its been cold. I got my driveshaft and new lights in, so i have to install this weekend when we are graced with 20F

Not sure when left hand will open back up since still damaged from the floods. Also Ive only been there a couple of times. IMO its not worth the drive up there when the Idaho Springs trails are closer and a large variety in that area.

Good to know on idaho Springs. I still need to ride my mountain bike on the IS trails, I hear they are awesome.

Anyone have a stock wheel for sale? Mine is leaky around the valve, already had the valve replaced and it hasn't helped.

What wheel you looking for? I have one off a 2000 sitting in my Garage, comes with stock rubber too...

Looks like this, but is missing center cap. Let me know.

I can't get that picture to load, but I have the wheels that are in the picture for my avatar. The 5 spoke steel stockers. It's 15x7 I believe. I have 225 stock tires as I said. I just need something that won't go flat in 3 weeks. Shop recommended a new rim, but I'm super tight on cash as I work seasonal at the moment. UGH! money is the worst when you don't have any to spare.

This style:



What do you want for it?

I have 4 spare tires on wheels laying around. They are either 225/75 or 235/75 You can have one of them for free.
