Yup, 8yrs/100k on every model hybrid I believe.

We bought Mrs. Snowaddict's new Rav4 hybrid with plans to keep it 'forever.'

+1. At this point your GMC is sorted, time to run it.

You should see how many contractors make the Montrose - Telluride commute year round.

Kebler was in great shape when I drove it the other day. Fresh grade/mag on the CB side. You can tell they...

They are not. But its a moot point starting Friday as they are now allowing class C's and bumper pull trailers.

IMO, it's not that bad with the current openings. Could it be more efficient? Sure, but it isn't that bad. I'm talking hitting the bridge openings. The CR 26 detour sucks balls.

Also, as posted...

Timely topic, I just put a hole in the sidewall of a dissector tonight. I stopped running them for a while and now I remember why. I just put a Tannus insert on the big bike, guess I should have put...

Heh, I pretty much live in a sunshirt from March-November.

Its a bit of an "uphill both ways" type of place. Did you ride Amp Ridge up the canyon (W->E)? That would not be very fun lol.

Hit...

October is usually a pretty good time to ride around here, if we do get snow on the plateau its usually not too much to ride.

If you ride EH, Amp Ridge and Ohmward Bound are the must-do descents.

You'll be early enough that EH won't be too hot. RAT will be ~5 degrees cooler basically any time though if you truly hate the heat. EH is techier, RAT is easy flow. Happy to post route recs for...

How much road grime do you guys get on them in that spot? My parents ran a hitch-mounted ski rack for a while and that thing murdered skis.

Well shit. Was supposed to go to Gunnison tomorrow, I have a feeling that's not happening.

From Gunnison Dispatch:

CR 26 Brush Fire

8/2/24 at 9:00 p.m. Due to a brush fire on CR 26, traffic...

You can find 2011-16s 6.2 Fords in that price range, but mostly with higher miles.

It sounds like the 7.3 you're considering is pretty well sorted, and clean ones will hold their value for the...

It would be a long shuttle, but I believe you could drive in the back way to spring creek through Taylor Park. I'm not sure exactly where the bridges/closure extends to though.

Glad I got my Dr....

They have their quirks but they are good trucks. Owning a 20+ year old rig is kind of a hobby and much better if you enjoy it. For the price a decent 7.3 brings you can get in a much newer gas truck....

Interesting...my friend warned me of the roosts fitting weird, my 2FO DHs seem to fit pretty normal.

^Hell yeah. I've spent the last 10 days in Arkansas on a "family vacation" where I mostly just rode a bunch. It's been fun but I'm ready to be back in the mountains. I'll take my riding without the...

Really good advice FG. One thing to add- frontal area makes a huge impact on the towing experience. Towing a 5k of enclosed trailer or travel trailer is very different than towing 5k of dirt in an...

Thanks all. I deleted the pic that showed faces and the crumple zone on the passenger side, but yeah, it pushed the whole front end of the car back a few inches into the firewall.

Good to know the flex difference is noticeable. The woodland trim we bought comes with a 1.25 "activity mount" which according to reddit may or may not be easy to swap for a 2" OEM or aftermarket...

After almost 9 years of faithful service to us, Mrs. Snowaddict's Rav4 has left the stable. The driver of a 97 F250 turned left directly in front of her while going 65 MPH, said he didn't see her....

Looking for a 1.25" 2 bike rack for Mrs. Snowaddict's new rig. Tray style - T2, Kuat, Rockymounts, etc. This car won't be the primary bike hauler so looking for a budget buy. I'll be in SLC next...

I'm going on 5 years with my backstage now. Lots of bumpy dirt roads and it sits in the sun for a good chunk of the summer. It does have a lot of plastic pieces but so far so good. I've broken a few...

I still can't believe they named a tire the Montrose. It better be good at blasting blown out moto trails full of baby heads.

Did front brakes, sway bar bushings/links, and rear diff service on the F150 last week. I've been pretty burned out on wrenching the last year or so and have been neglecting the fleet so it felt good...

I have a buddy in Montrose that's a one man shop that is set up to do full suspension service/rebuilds, if you'd rather spend money to get it turned around quick. His turn around times are usually...

For sure. Its a good haul for me and I was tying my trip to whether the lifts spun or not.

No BTB for 2024 [emoji22]

I had a great view of that zone from my backyard at my old house in Sandy, I used to stare at it and think about skiing it all the time.

I've checked in with most of my Utah crew, thankfully...

The riding in Richfield is great. It sounds like the shuttles are dropping off at Middle Spinal Tap currently, set aside a half day to do that.

Can also confirm the Green River taco truck is...

Also the one that's probably most applicable for mini-EWG: getting out of an LCC parking spot after it dumps all day. I've definitely used my rear locker to get out of the plow drift a few times. Its...

I'm in this camp, I don't need a bunch of electronic BS but a factory elocker is pretty damn nice to have. I don't know the toyota packages well, but if the TRD has better suspension it still may be...

X3. Take a look on Facebook or CL for something lightly used. There are often deals to be had.

If I rally it will be 5/30-6/2 or thereabouts. Plans are still pretty up in the air. Unfortunately memorial day weekend is my holiday to work this year so no opening weekend.

I have a set of Sram G2 R brakes used for 5 rides. Pads are like new, no mounting hardware. Includes matchmaker clamps with shifter and dropper mounts.

I still can't post pics but there are some...

Thanks, like grskier said, this thread is one of the good ones!

I'm swapping a set of SRAM G2 brakes for some Shimano XTs from the Planet Cyclery sale. I'm planning to keep using the SRAM Rotors and didn't order new adapters.

Will I die if I use the SRAM...

Good to know, thanks.

I guess my memory is worse than I thought. I ran a dissector year for a while years ago and thought I just switched to the aggressor because it was faster rolling. I remember now that you guys are...

Nice. I lusted after one of those for a long time, wanted to get one to match my Stab.

I was sitting in stopped traffic last week by the next bridge west, the funny part is my friends and I were talking about how bad we are as a population at taking care of infrastructure, then I made...

My guess is that the fluctuating of the reservoir levels wouldn't play nice with something like that?

That's a very old recall (from April 2018). Many of us have had baseplates crack in the same way from outside the recall window as well, its probably one of the more common pivot failures.

My entry into mountain biking was fueled by the Snowshoe bike park in the early 2000s. Kona was affiliated with the park and they were everywhere. My cousin and I both eventually had Stabs, my...

There are a few mags over that way, maybe one could take a look at the campsite for you to see if it's still there?

If you ride a lot of loose over hard, the aggressor is a little lacking in braking traction IMO. I prefer the dissector out back for that reason.

On a slightly related note, my spur came with a...

I was thinking the same thing, I would have been pissed! My sources tell me it's going to be more than a few days. Sounds like they are gonna plow out the blue mesa cutoff, but that is probably still...

Apparently 50 is closed between Montrose and Gunnison "indefinitely" due to bridge failure. I was contemplating going to Monarch and riding Hartman's this weekend, guess that's not happening.

ETA:...

But wait, there's more!

Snotels in the area are 55-70% of average as of today. I have a week penciled off at the end of May, but it doesn't look too promising.

Congrats man! Glad mags could make it happen.
