Time for a little preventative maintnance. I havnt' broken anything in the last 3 or 4 trips out so i am concerned that the truck is starting to feel neglected. Iron Chest here I come. Nothing will stop me from getting to the top....as long as I can get past the first 1/4 mile. Anyone in? |

I know my skill level, and Iron Chest is out of my league at present time. Plus I don't know if an unlocked truck can do the first section. But thanks for the invite!

Sorry,
I am on call that weekend.
Not to mention that I need to get sliders prior to attempting that one : )
Sure could have used a pair of sliders in carnage canyon a few weeks ago.
Note to self:
Buy or make sliders soon! |

You can probably count me out this weekend. Got a big project coming up on Tuesday. Unless I can rid my self of this nasty, uncontrollable habit called procrastination, I doubt I can do it. What kind of drive is it from Denver anyways?

Ok....I am starting to see a priority problem here. We got people that are on call and other people that have projects to do. HHHHMMM.....Here is what I am thinking...If you break down up there and are never able to get back to civilization you won't have to worry about that priority problem anymore.
Chu... It is probably about a 2 or 2 1/2 hrs. |

Brian,
let's face it, we're just scared of the flakes coming our way. Once those little guys start ganging up on you, it's all over! 
Dave, I'd say sliders come in handy at Carnage. I tried running Lefthand, but took a wrong turn and ended up on Carnage. You guys did well to make it out clean without sliders.

Brian, Sorry for the delayed responce. I just finally got my DSL back...Damn Qwest!!
Well, just saw it today and I have made plans already and I don't know if Iron Chest would be trail for me. I here it is very brutal.
Anyone have pictures for me of the Red Cone trip? Now that I have my DSL back I am going to be sending some to Ho.
Brian, you have mail! |

Yup....Iron chest is a tough one. I think it is rated a 9. I've done it twice before...the first time we only got about 1/4 mile into it before a jeep broke his rear drive shaft and I broke my left rear axle. Second time got to the top but on the way back down I broke my ft diff. It is one of those type of trails that I have to beat. The goal for this sunday is no damage. |

If anyone is interested in wheeling tomarow....we are going to check out iron chest first but I expect it to be snowed in. As an alternate we will hit China mans gultch. That is a fairly easy trail...probably rated a 5 or a 6. Let me know if you would like to come. [email protected]
