I would love to make the trip to Ouray but there’s no way I’ll have the waggy don’t in time. I’m still a couple weeks away from picking it up.will e wrote:It's a great board because of the great people. Even better in person!

Ouray is a goal for me as well. My Waggy is in pretty dang good shape now, but still the drive would be long and tiring. Not to mention the time off needed from work. I wouldn't want to just drive out, stay there, then come right back. I'd make several stops each way of the trip to stretch for a day and check out the sights.Astro wrote:I would love to make the trip to Ouray but there’s no way I’ll have the waggy don’t in time.

That’s exactly what I would like to do. I’m in MN so there’s plenty of travel time for stops. It’s not a problem for me to take two weeks or so off from work so it’s just a matter of getting the waggy ready and at a point I would trust it to make it there and back.dodgerammit wrote:Ouray is a goal for me as well.

If you don't have any other 4x4, you can always find someone to ride with or even rent a Jeep when you're out there.
You can join me in my XJ at Ouray then.Astro wrote:derf wrote:Don't let a lack of a running FSJ keep you from Ouray.

I have an XJ that I DD. It’s stock but I’d trust it to make it.

The main trick for stock FSJ's is set up for high altitude or you anin't gonna get high.
I've been over a lot of Colorado Mountain passes with a 2" lift and 31" BFG at's
It's about the FSJ people.. Don S..
