Anyone up for it? I know COtoy91 wants to run it. I tried to set it up last year and then had to bail out. Liberty is the easier of the 2 trails in Penrose. I'd still suggest 35's, locked F&R, some kind of tow hooks F&R, and the fact you may get body damage.

you think I could make it with just a rear locker? I'm in either way, I'll either walk the trail or drive

Honestly, I don't think so. It's a tough trail. You could probably make it on the downhill in portion of the trail. But when you turn around and come back out uphill, it gets much tougher.

Have you never seen that trail? My Dad and I are always down there, mostly my Dad now since I'm up in FoCo but he goes all the time. I thought you've seen it before lol. Yeah I don't think your runner will be able to make it, it's pretty tough.

foxtrot89 · « **Reply #4 on:** Oct 23, 2010, 12:44:31 AM »

I think I could make through the easiest part where the turn of is before the waterfall lol

BlueTaco · « **Reply #5 on:** Oct 23, 2010, 02:09:35 PM »

True, we made it through there in our Runner. Of course that was a long time ago and it's changed a lot since...but you still might be able to make that part. lol

Volcom · « **Reply #6 on:** Nov 01, 2010, 02:20:20 PM »

Bump! There's 2 of us for sure (Haku & myself). COtoy91, you going to make it?

Suz · « **Reply #7 on:** Nov 03, 2010, 02:02:23 PM »

Dan and I will drive out for the day and walk/hang out at the exit. We're going to pass until the new engine is put in and we have a rollcage.

COToy91 · « **Reply #8 on:** Nov 04, 2010, 07:55:20 PM »

I just saw this, I am in. My truck hasn't moved all year so I have to do something

Crossing my fingers now for no snow and no closures

Good to hear! I figured you were busy with the new job since the election was this week.

That puts us at 4 rigs so far.

Any idea on what time at the trail head? Or another meeting place?

How to get to Indy from Denver - I-25 South to Colorado Springs - Circle Exit (#138)
West on Lake Ave to Hwy 115
South on Hwy 115 to Penrose CO
Take a right (west) on 3rd St (Look for the Brush Hollow Reservior signs)
Turn right on E St.
Stay on E St (aka Co Rd 127). Don't make any turns off of this road.
Pass through the cattle grates and into the BLM land

Brad I can bring that spare d-shaft I have in case yours gets pretzled; let's hope the bolt patterns are the same.

Sounds good. Hopefully Dan can find a project and get it up & running by this summer.

We should have plenty of open seats between the 7 rigs going so you should be able to jump in with somebody.

who all is going?

Volcom · « **Reply #16 on:** Nov 18, 2010, 01:03:02 PM »

So far

Myself
Haku
CoToy91
Mythica - COTTORA
Mythica's uncle
Orange Crusher - COTTORA

wakkjobb · « **Reply #17 on:** Nov 18, 2010, 06:59:41 PM »

I don't need another project, just a new rod bearing.

And duals.

And EFI swap.

And cagey goodness.

But we'll be there, hopefully with freshly-charged camera batteries this time... or bring an inverter.

I'll be there as a rider/spectator lol, rig is not in good enough shape for this.

BlueTaco · « **Reply #19 on:** Nov 20, 2010, 03:10:58 PM »

Me, Quick Draw, and my Father will probably be down to watch as well...and possibly grab seats lol

Suz · « **Reply #20 on:** Nov 21, 2010, 09:40:53 AM »

Bring Maya!

Volcom · « **Reply #21 on:** Nov 23, 2010, 07:05:48 AM »

I will most likely have some seats open. My plan was to bring my kids while the wife hit up Black Friday. Well her brother is going to be in town and she wants the kids to stick around to see him.

I'll see everyone at 10am in the parking lot.

COToy91 · « **Reply #22 on:** Nov 23, 2010, 07:57:54 AM »

See you then

Volcom · « **Reply #23 on:** Nov 24, 2010, 10:30:41 AM »

Liberty is in red
Parking Lot is the white dots under the words "Parking Lot"

Blue line from parking lot to intersection of red line is Independence
Other half of blue line is Patriot
Green line is how you get to Liberty trailhead

foxtrot89 · « **Reply #24 on:** Nov 24, 2010, 12:15:31 PM »

I'll take you up on that seat. shotgun! lol jk

Me & the Orange Crusher

Eric down the waterfalls on Indy

Eric didn't even flinch, the kid's a natural behind the wheel of his Jeep

He nailed the turn and only had to backup once to make the corner. Usually takes us about 4-6 trys to make that corner

Down the last section of Indy

Posing on all the random rocks on the trail

CoToy91 down the slab

Then down the next tough section. Probably the toughest section on Liberty.

Scotty & Aspen

Air Randy taking tough line down the slab with Scotty in front of him

Sick down down the slab, Iroks stick like glue

Nice FJ40 for sure!

Trying to take the hardest lines possible on the trail

Eric's parking spot during the break in action

Pitbulls folding up nicely on the sharp rocks in Penrose

Nice CJ7 tailgate conversion

Testing out his new 5" rear strech with 57" rear springs

Last poser spot on the trail.

COToy91 · « **Reply #27 on:** Nov 27, 2010, 02:12:20 PM »

Fun day for sure Volcom. We have to get out more often and run more trails. Nice to meet everyone, even though I know most the people on this borad

Volcom · « **Reply #28 on:** Nov 27, 2010, 02:12:56 PM »

Orange Crusher (Dan) took all these pics

Then Jerry broke! Sorry Jerry.

wakkjobb · « **Reply #29 on:** Nov 27, 2010, 04:43:15 PM »

I'll throw my pics into the mix. We had a good time even without the pile, carb and single case would have sucked 75% of the day and made it that much worse for everyone else.

Pic-o-rama:

...and there you have it. See ya next year!! (hopefully with a functioning rig)
