I'd like to join up with the guys doing red cone if that is all right with everyone. I drive a stock 1993 80 with some mild body damage

Cross us off the list. Looks like Richard has a good friend visiting us on Saturday. He's in Loveland from Chicago on business and it's the only day to see him. BUMMER! I wanted to see the FJ Cruisers Wheel!
Have fun and stay safe.

That's what Richard just said. That "rocky ascent" looks a little intimidating to me and this is not the wheeling truck I am used to by any means. I don't want to be the one to put a dent in the LX first! We did give it a little ride height adjustment a few weeks ago- gained 1 3/4 inches! Also got a CB hooked up the weekend after the Ghost Town run- better late than never.
Oh well, maybe if my jitters wear off I might be there, but don't wait on me.

Matt, Rachel says she needs to be homw by 4. I am guessing that means she won't be able to make the run. What do you think?

Might be tight, depending on how big the group gets and how slow we go. Charles Wells' book estimates 3.5 hours. I figure we'll be on the trail by 10:30 at the latest after airing down, since we'll leave the Bailey gas station at 9:30. That could mean finishing by 2:00. Maybe. No guarantees. And if someone breaks, we'll fix 'em on the trail, same as always. So it could be later and probably will be.

is anybody running red cone from a northern or central denver location? i've got friends from out of town that will be taking my 60 on the run, but i won't be going as mike and are will be ironing out final details for the rally. i'm looking for someone to caravan with my friends to the meeting place.

Chance of rain 40% (pretty high for CO). Rainy in the morning, clearing, then thundershowers. I would say the timing is pretty good for expected conditions, as later in the day up top on Red Cone could get a little interesting.
Does a 4Runner with a soft top have sufficient topside metal structure to still act as a Faraday cage? Hmmmmm?
Buh..ZOTT!

Brakes aren't the hot setup. Gears are. Too much brake, the rear unloads anyway. You definitely do NOT want the rear to try to pass the front. That would be a nasty off-camber.MARTIN said:Sounds like a fun trail. I'm not so sure my trusty drum brakes would be up for that steeeeep descent though. !
