I'll check it again. At a glance it looked solid and welded. Thank you

Nice, I was heading up to the same trail with some friends. I still need to fix the motor mount I broke on Heart Attack Hill...

Also here is the build thread for your XJ if you haven't dug that up and read it already

Yeah it was crazy! I couldn't go anywhere for like 6 hours. But greeley is something else. Im still not to sure about it. Lol. Its just too ghetto for me. Im a white boy that grew up down south where you dont even lock your doors. But we definitely need to run some trails when they open.

I only go out there to the junkyards, and thats the only time I ever lock all four doors AND the hatch on my XJ...takes 20 minutes to get them all unlocked again. At this point its looking like all we'll have up north this winter is Crown Point snow bashing, so here's hoping we get a few feet soon!

Such a nice build. What ever happened to Hudfab? Or the guy you owned it?

That's one of the mysteries of this forum, and the local XJ scene...lol
I'd guess he got sick of XJs and Jeeps in general, yours was I think his 37th that he built and I think he did a few after it. Funny though, 2 of them that I know of ended up here in foco. Guy I know used to have his old blue 2dr

I've been trying to figure out which trails are open and which are closed by cross referencing the Canyon Lakes Ranger District Road Status page with the TrailDamage.com trail list and from what I can tell, everything in our area south of Poudre is closed. Red Feather Lakes looks open. Any of you guys want to run that soon? The other nearish open trails are West & SW of Denver.

There are a few roads listed on CLRD as being open, but I can't find them on TrailDamage. Some of them I tried Google Maps-ing, but didn't find them there either. They're probably on the MVUM by road number, but I stopped looking and I'm out of town now. If anyone has better information, please post it!

They suck in mud, then again I'm used to my old swampers and I don't do mud. They are ok on rocks but sidehill bad. Can't wait to run them in snow, I grooved and siped them so they should do pretty good.

Kind of weird they suck in mud with the tread pattern the way it is. The lugs must not be deep enough or something.
