Re: Wheeler Lake
Well I'll be... Mr. JW! How's things? I hope these boys show you a good time! Wish I were in the area to join![/quote]
Things are good especially leaving Texas summer heat for a few days to the Colorado mountains. Wish you could be there too. Are you still overseas, Germany right?

Re: Wheeler Lake
I like atleast 33's and one locker. But it's not required as there are bypasses around the hardest obstacles. Many stock rigs run it so no worries either way.

Re: Wheeler Lake
You'll be setup for the trail pretty well. If you're gearing is high or if the rocks are wet, I'd avoid the major obstacles if you don't want body damage.

Re: Wheeler Lake
Wish I didn't have a prior commitment or I'd be riding along in my old Bronco. Have fun and enjoy the views.

Re: Wheeler Lake
I think we are going. I have a power steering pump leak that I can't address between now and then but I plan to through a little stop leak crap in there to see if I can slow / stop the bleeding. If it looks like she can hold her fluids ( Most of them at least ) we will load her up and meet up for the caravan. I'll try to test it out tomorrow and then make the call.

Re: Wheeler Lake
I'm getting caught up on this trip while sitting in a freakin' hotel room in beautiful downtown Detroit! ARGH.
I'm a little lost on times -- I'll be coming from Breck, so will probably just meet ya'll at the trailhead. Is it an 8:00 a.m. meet there?

Re: Wheeler Lake
Ok, I / We will be there. I'll plan on being at the meet point and joining the caravan up to Fairplay.
Eck- I'll bring your parts down. We just need to figure out our meet up for the hand off.
Jeff- I'm happy to shuttle your parts as well. The only issue might be getting the wiper cover picked up. If you talk to him, he could drop the parts at my place or maybe I can have Michelle meet him someplace to grab it for you.
