spazomatic Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 The wife and i have been lots of places like that, but lately we stay local. Theres a couple of trails off of hwy 105 that get washed out and can be quite entertaining. Not much time to wheel far away from home though.

man on the moon Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I live in Denver. Well, Aurora right now but the job may be moving to the west side of town, etc. Not built for off-road but I'd like to get there. I'm not as interested in conquering the hardest challenge/deepest hole etc as I am in hunting down ghost towns and old mines and the like, which will require at least some modest off-road capabilities. I guess I'm aiming for a reasonable compromise rig. One that can hold its own on the road without losing too much gas mileage, etc; but can still handle some ditches and small logs on the trail, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah thats good fun. A few years ago, the wife and I took our S-10 on a wheelin trek for a week, with a book of ghost towns and several trail books; using those we found the gnarliest routes we could to find the ghost towns. It was a great time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

man on the moon Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I have a '91 Loyale. I have swapped a d/r into it. I'd like a 2" lift, 14" or 15" wheels. Maybe an extra set of lights. A 2.2 motor. Onboard air. A second battery. I think one or two other things (maybe a removable/bolt on full size skid plate, but I'm uncertain there). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericstell Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share Posted April 13, 2013 all those are fairly simple things except motor swap . but we have all the rite people here in colorado to get parts and get the jop tackled . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
man on the moon Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Indeed! Money is a bigger issue, and time. For quite a while it was my DD in a 60mile round trip commute. Now I have two part-time jobs, soon I hope just one full time job. Hopefully that change works out and I can give the car some down-time, as well as having some money to work with . I can do some of these things myself, others I'll need help with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

man on the moon Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Indeed.The full-time offer is looking pretty good, so I just have to give notice at the other job, by June, maybe? I'm thinking of picking up a bike at a thrift store to ride over the summer. This would give me some time where I don't *need* the car, as long as I stock up on groceries before I put her down for a few days! I don't live a block from the grocery store anymore. Time for an adventure, at last! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
