AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. You've noticed as well? Gah, I love the kid but I love taking my time and not beating my rig to crap and rattling it to pieces sprinting through trails.
7mile is like Left Hand, it's not terribly difficult but offers SOMETHING nearly year round and it's an outlet to at least get out and be on a trail. Kevin or myself can talk to Alex, but I'm pretty sure where I went was called Bald Mountain (we did 7mile then I think Bald Mountain that ended on top of like Dead guy gulch or mountain or something, I don't remember....). It was awesome, the start was kinda of sandy and reminded me of Left Hand, but it dumped into the trees pretty quick, lotsa tight spots, overhung / fallen trees to go under, and some pretty fun rock sections. Of course there's harder trails, and easier, and I don't EVER really care about difficulty, I just LOVE being out and on trail usually. The social aspect is always a winner and being in nature is awesome. Plus I like the rockier stuff (I guess I didn't really associate the fact that I'm studying Geology and I love taking my time to cruise through rocks / rock gardens haha).

 

I'm surprised he hasn't broken anything besides a fender. Ever seen his tcase skid?
Looking at my trail map, bald mountain comes from near top of sevenmile, and goes west between the balds, and comes out at greenridge, or go north to deadman.

Oh yeah Ben, Alex says you wheel like a grandma

 

Yep its the middle trail of the mud loop.

Anyone know if lefthand is open again yet?

 

I'm fine with that, my friend's have always said I drive like a grandma too. Did I have fast cars? Yeah, but I took it to the track and raced time trials and autocross and such to get my fix. Do I wheel like a grandma? Yeah, I don't have the income to be fixing things over and over, I don't like being tossed around, I like a comfortable, mellow ride on the trail lol. I think I saw his skid before, but I don't remember. I'm blown away he hasn't needed a new clutch or some other major drivetrain component. When we did Bald he was just bashing his way through the rocks lol
It's not yet as far as I know. It was briefly talked about at the meet and greet, but I still stand with what I said before, I think this is going to be the season where we see drastic changes at Left Hand.... Closing of the shooting, closing of the trail, something's going to happen.... I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if they drop a few huge boulders in front and call it a day.... There was some talk too about how there's a shooting ban in the national parks, not just left hand, but everywhere or something to try and reduce the risk of wildfire ignition.... We need sooooooooo much more rain.

 

If they ban shooting at Pawnee I will be SOO pissed

 

They won't ban shooting in pawnee. Lefthand is just seeing bans because it is in boulder county.

I doubt they completly shut it down but then again we are dealing with the same people who shut down carnage.

 

I have a few set of 784 fuel injectors if anyone needs a set.. $30 for a set with no o-rings and $36 with o-rings

 

Is anybody running a bastard pack in the rear? I'm a cheap *** an try to save money and do things myself and wondered if it's worth it. My leafs are beyond flat

 

Flat leafs flex more

 

Pm full

 

Hell yeah they do. Mine have very little arch in them love the flex and also don't rub

 

I cleaned it up

 

I know a ton of people who run bastard packs on toyotas and buggies. If done right they work great and are cheap. Just need to be willing to play around with adding and taking out springs a bit.

I have a stock set of leaves I just took off my 87 if you want em. They were flat so they got replaced. Going to the scrapper the end of the week if you don't.

 

Are you looking to get $ or just get rid of em. I would gladly take them off your hands!!

 

How'd those leaf packs work out for you btw?
