Made the Move
Finally got to Grand Junction and bought a house just before Thanksgiving. About 5 weeks later my 68 bronco and our belongings showed up. I am a happy camper now that the unpacking and getting moved in is pretty much done. You can see the specs on my bronco on ClassicBroncos under the same user name. I still have a lot of work to do on it. Paint will be first since it really needs it. Thanks for the forum and the connections.

Re: Made the Move
Paint! Who needs paint? Get that mother on the trail/road, if its not already?
Congrats on the move, welcome to our beautiful state!

Re: Made the Move
You need paint so you can get it scratched going through brush and scraped off on rocks :-)

Re: Made the Move
Welcome! What brought you here? Have inlaws who live in Soldotna, so am pretty familiar with the area. I LOVE AK!

Re: Made the Move
Welcome to Colorado.
I'm in Gunnison, down US 50 about 2 hours. There aren't many club members here on the western slope. If you are coming through, let me know.
Hopefully we can get some guys out to Ouray this summer for a weekend.
Chad

Re: Made the Move
My wife and I always loved the 4 corners area and gradually chose Junction as a good balance. We are retired and left Alaska after 20+ years. Montrose was a contender for a retirement place but didn't have enough amenities for my wife. So far Junction is great especially since a bronco friendly fab shop (Battlement Fabrication) is only 10 minutes away. I have a 3.5 inch wild horses lift plus a 1.5 inch body lift. This worked well for my EFI setup and tranny install. I would like to get better articulation and Clint's shop can help once I save enough funds for the work.

Re: Made the Move
Montrose has always been on my list. An outdoorsman's paradise... But not so good for my wife either. Maybe I'll just get a cabin on some property nearby someday??

Re: Made the Move
Welcome! We'll need to get out your way and do some club wheeling one day.

Re: Made the Move
Sounds good on some western Colorado club wheeling. Mine should go and stop well, but the articulation, gearing, and driver skill will be the limiting factors.
