That was cool. How was it going down the first ledge at the bottom? I have never gone down Danial....

A picture is worth a bunch of words they say...

The drivers side originally looked like the pass. But I made Matt jump up and down on it until I could open the door.

At least your bottle opener is still intact! That might get some use in a few weeks from now.

ahh no worries that bumper has been bent a few times before and I've been planning to replace it anyway. I think for URE it's just getting straightened out though. I also took a little damage in the rear quarter panel but nothing major.

I can't say much for April I had not been out there in probably 2 years. But the two hard parts of Daniel are worse than I've ever seen them. It's going to be fun watching people go up those. The fun section of Dicky Bell is a little rougher than the last time I was up there. Other than that things looked pretty decent.

is it just the rock garden play area that is closed? Can you still do Rocky Mount loop by using the backside on top of the play area?


The leg of RM loop where Kodak is closed. You can still do the right side of RM loop and use sawmill and slabpile to complete the loop. If that makes sense?

To add to this the whole vertical leg on the map that connect slab pile to sawmill is closed. So you can still drive the whole circle around but not up the middle.

I was there this weekend and I still have no idea whats going on...

I just follow tobias on the trails...that way I only have to pay attention to my coolant temperature.

Get a $60 ultra gauge and set a high temp alarm. Then you can pay attention.:D

I bought a $12 bluetooth OBD2 module and a $5 app for my phone..

Funny thing is that the harder I push the truck the cooler it runs. Going up Dickey Bell hill climb I run in the 190's. Costing down Falls Damn and I get up to 210.
It eases my paranoia... some...

none of your fucking business
I've got a Scangauge II but, I'm about to do the severe duty GM fan clutch.

Tobias' truck didn't peak 180 all weekend, and he had to tow a couple of broken down lesbians off the trail.

Mine saw 224 at it's hottest this weekend, and sadly sits around 210 while everywhere else.
