We are headed that way. Going all the way to Happy Valley - Goose Bay and then some. Last year was Dead Horse, AK to Key West. That was a trip
Was hoping to find some of our Maine folks and beg them to show us around.
We are leaving the second week of July from Tennessee.
PM me if...
Lol. Not open until June or the snow melts this year. Last year it was July before they were open.
Engineer's pass it doable.
Imogene will scare you to death in some places. Be careful. Stay off black bear unless you have lockers and such.
Welcome. We are OB Nomads.
It doesn't matter what you drive or where you live. We meet up with other groups all over the country and run trails / fellowship with others.
I'm thinking there may be enough local interest to put together a meet and greet.
I suck at planning, but we are excellent...
It all depends on the snow. On or about May 15, 2018, the only pass that was open was Animas Forks & Cinnamon Pass from Silverton to Lake City. We did it with high water crossings and tons of snow.
In 2019, a majority of the trails did not open until Mid July as shared by others above. We...
Okay everyone, When do we leave? LBL is a day trip from Memphis area. They have camping anyway you want it, if you want to stay.
If someone plans it, we (Stickman & The Witness) will come.
I had the Bilstein / Toytech TRD Pro suspension setup. Would not have made it with stock SR5 suspension.
I fully expected to shred a set of tires. That's why I chose the BFG KM3s. I also expected the suspension to get a thorough workout. In addition, I also planned on losing a windshield. Got...
1. Body mount chop ( kit available on line) $45+/-. A welder will charge you about $150 for the work.
2. Upper Control Arms. I went with Fabtech.
3. Three (3) inch suspension lift w/ adjustable coil overs with resivoir up front and taller springs and resivoir shocks in the rear. I went with...
Building a T4R is expensive and confusing. It's not a Jeep. If you change anything on the suspension you will be forced to make other mods, which equals more money. Once you start down the modification road you need to be committed.
EVERY OUNCE COUNTS! Find flight of stairs. Walk up 3 levels...
Situational awareness and bear spray. The alarm function on your vehicles car fob also works to distract and surprise unwanted visitors.
It's not going to get dark, so you will have the advantage of sight too.
There are a myriad of options and suggestions. Way too many to discuss in this...
I left some paint there. Stay off black diamond trails. They are more for rock bouncers or serious crawlers. I had to be winched out. Not worth it.
Fun place though. Best time is when there are no leaves on the trees. Much better views.
Enjoy!
