    Light duty 4 wheeling

    The thread by spdu4ia got me thinking about some off-roading. Are there other members here who do some non-rockclimbing trips? I've got a stock '93 4Runner with 31's but haven't done anything except for one trail near Grand Lake. Would other members be interested in some day trips?

    Totally... It's been a long time since I've gone, but I just lifted my 95 Tacoma over the winter and put 33's on it, so it's ready to see some trails. There are some roads on the way into Winter Park that are pretty good light 4x4 that I haven't been on in a few years. I'd love to know of more places. Love getting out in the woods on a nice day to just chill and let the dogs run.

    Possibly. Not a huge fan of shelf roads with bottomless pits next to them (like some parts of switzerland trail) but otherwise I'm game.

    I've got plenty of recovery gear too for when us stock rides get someplace we shouldn't be.

    Alan,

    There are a ton of good 4x trails just up above Central City...nothing to serious, but some fun slow stuff and some really great views. You can also get to them from Alice and Rollinsville. I don't 4x in my truck, but we take the quads up there all summer long.

    I'm up for light duty. Don't want to massacre the daily driver, but I do like going 4x4.

    How about a day trip either 4/16 or 4/17? If any of you know of a good trail I'd be happy to work on the planning for this: meeting place/time/etc.

    Re: Light duty 4 wheeling

    I rode some atvs for my birthday last weekend off of hwy 7 down the road from estes next to bounce school road. there was a ton of people wheeling in mostly stock rigs up in the snow that is left up there, it looked like fun, but was easier on a 4x4 atv. might be worth checking out.

    I'd love to go 4x4 with the WR in the bed. Then I can have the best of both worlds!

    Or Moab
    My truck is too low and long to do much off road, but I like to take the wife to see a little bit of the scenery we see on the bikes.

    Ah Moab... that's one place I need to get to badly this year. We were going to go last year, then it snowed in the mountains ruining our trip, and that weekend I broke my ankle rendering me useless for the rest of the summer. I will not let it happen again.

    I'd do some easy stuff. Haven't done anything yet, but got an FJ thinking I would.

    Re: Light duty 4 wheeling

    middle st vrain and coney flats is a nice little trail. There is another going up the Moffet road that ends up coming out at yankee doodle lake.

    I used to have a '64 cj5 all stock including tires and 4 cyl engine. It was more than capable, just a little slow getting up there.

    Re: Light duty 4 wheeling

    Theres a nice trail system that connects between Idaho Springs and Lake George. I spend a bit of time up there in the summer. It probably still has a bit too much snow to get too far back right now, but should be good to go by late April to mid May. I am in an 85 CJ7, mostly stock and would be up for some day trips this summer.
