Penrose CO - Liberty trail May 12th

Several members of the Rockfrogs 4wheel drive club met up in Penrose @ 11am Saturday morning. We aired down at the Liberty trailhead. Couldn't have asked for better weather! The trail has changed quite a bit from the recent rains. I think it is much tougher then last year. There are quite a few "diff catchers" smack dab in the middle of the trail. With 33's, I caught my front and rear diff's 10+ times.

Here's the pictures

















I think Jeff needs to adjust his front bumpstops


























Hard to get in when the door is 5 feet above the ground






Wow :shock:








Exit of Liberty, the hard side is the left side.






Hung up diffs

Liberty is the easier of the two trails. Patriot is the trail to expect body damage, and a good chance of pulling the winch line several times. I will be running Patriot after I can build a front and rear bumper, and bigger tires. 35's are pretty much the minimum I've ever run on Patriot. 33's are the minimum I'd run on Liberty, I was hanging up diff's left and right

The 3rd Gen is CUbuffRunner's. It's a super nice rig with many trick, custom fab'ed parts.

Nice pics... looks like a really good trail.

That is one wicked 3rd gen for sure.

I searched "CUbuffRunner's" and " CUbuffRunner" to send him a PM about the doors, but YT didn't find him. Does he post on YT?

Thanks for sharing... makes Monday more fun.

next time you guys run it, let me know, I wont run it in my baby,
but Id love to follow ya down there, and take pics.
I got a nasty-gram after posting pics that we didnt post run info, hope you dont get the same.
thankx for sharing the pics. LOVE seeing wheeling pics.
It's a pretty far drive from Denver just to take pictures Ric

I haven't gotten the nasty-gram. That's weird that I would need to post run info in order to post trip pics.

Here are the details on it when I originally built it to be used with the stock bumper. I have now moved the lower bars up and added the bar going across.
