    2wd Utah trails

    There are tons up in the high Uinta's. Head east of Kamus on 150. Try Alexander Lake for a nice peaceful spot, but there are dozens of trails in the region.

    Is there any place in Colorado without a fire ban right now?

    Do some checking, A fire ban can mean anything from no open flames at all, all the way to a propane fire ring is ok, to fires in established fire rings only.

    Distress Call Feature Concept

    That would be nice but would be useless in 95% of Colorado and Utah. I don't know how common this is across the country but we simply don't have cell phone service on trails and if we do, it is voice only, not data. That is why we have Hams (sometimes better reach than cell if a repeater can...

    first trip to Utah

    You do realize you will see temps well above 100f there and probably over 110f. Stick to the mountains up north or high in the San Rafiel Swell area. St. George is slated to be over 100f for most of next week.

    Weather

    I'M not in any way saying it isn't pretty in the winter and great to just take the major roads, but if you are not equipped for extremes, even finding a place to pull off the roads is tough for even us locals. My rig has a diesel powered forced air heater and with the insulation, I have stayed...

    Weather

    Camping in the winter is an extreme exercise. As was mentioned in the other thread, the location and altitude has everything to do with it. Very few roads in the mountains other than the main arteries are open. Campgrounds are almost all closed. Winter is not a good time to venture out...

    Utah

    I'm in Heber City/Park City. We get a few feet of snow each winter, but the roads are always plowed. We have a couple of nights in the -15 range but normally it runs around +15 for lows at night and 30-40 in the day. Because of the altitude change, you can go three miles and have many feet of...

    Offroad Trailer Brakes - Yes or No?

    That is why I added a relay driven off of the transmission position indicator switch that opens up the signal from the brakes to the controller when in reverse.

    Is the membership annual?

    It is a lifetime membership. No annual renewal. I wouldn't mind if there was an annual fee to help support the site.

    US Rocky Mountain Colorado and beyond

    I have led multiple raw neophytes over Black Bear in bone stock XJ's before. You might scrape just a bit if you don't do good tire placement on the steps above the falls but it is nothing hard. The biggest issue is the switchback after the falls. If you know how, it is a piece of cake but for...
