Black Friday Liberty run Nov 26th (Day after Thanksgiving)

[Volcom]

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]

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

[BlueTaco]

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]

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

[Suz]

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]

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.

[COToy91]

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

[foxtrot89]

I'll probably be there, I have no money for black friday lol

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.

[COToy91]

who all is going?

[Volcom]

So far

Myself
Haku
CoToy91
Mythica - COTTORA
Mythica's uncle
Orange Crusher - COTTORA
blair1cn - COTTORA

[wakkjobb]

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.

>>Dan

[foxtrot89]

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

[BlueTaco]

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

[Suz]

Bring Maya!

[Volcom]

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]

See you then

[Volcom]

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]

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

[wakkjobb]

 
Don't anyone eat too much tomorrow lest ye be sick Friday for the run.

DO IT TO IT!!!!

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]

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]

Orange Crusher (Dan) took all these pics




































































Then Jerry broke! Sorry Jerry.

[wakkjobb]

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)
