  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance this week and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

    Colorado trip

    Especially if you have females along, check out Mousies Coffee/Chocolatier in Ouray. They roast their own coffee daily and they make some of the finest chocolates anywhere. Get a "Scrap" cookie while there. They are huge and contain all the variations of chocolate scraps they had left over...

    Kill Switch for your vehicle

    Remember, disconnecting the battery will not necessarily kill the engine. If the alternator is working, you will keep running. I have a hidden disconnect on my fuel pump. It will start, run for a few seconds then die. The question is really, why do you want a kill switch? (1) to kill the...

    Imogene Pass

    You are overthinking this. Just use common sense picking a line. I have led dozens of bone stock Cherokee XJ's over it as well as Black Bear.

    FYI - Imogene Pass closed - Monsoon rains

    Nothing like watching a video with ads slapped across it every 15 seconds.

    Cell signal booster

    Here in Colorado and in Utah, once in the back country, they do little or no good. You pretty much need to have line of sight to a tower and once in the hills/mountains, you rarely have that. If you want emergency communications, get a SPOT or the equivalent satellite communicator. The nicer...

    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...

    Found interesting hardware for overlanders on Amazon.

    This is a great idea for holding all kinds of items.

    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.
