I'm glad he got reported. Someone should build a good guardian obstacle at slaughterhouse just to keep a majority of the idiots out of their. Save a lot of people time and effort.

Re: The Colorado BS thread
My work hooptie is close to being miled out.......Can't get new Expeditions anymore. As far as supervisor vehicles go, sure wish I could get a truck with a bed cover.
The old:
Want:
What they'll likely give me:
The Interceptors aren't bad, but they're not buying the turbo engine version of the Explorer, only the Taurus. So, the things are a little under-powered. They also can't be used to "PIT" because of the soft and round front ends... the front tires end up rubbing the car being contacted. Ugly expensive front PIT bumpers are the solution...... which they aren't interested in buying us. Sucks.

Welcome. Might want to check out the Craigslist thread. There are some cheap candidates.

Re: The Colorado BS thread
Negative . But most folks watch people do stuff like this and they may say not to try it ,but do not really tell the person the ins and outs of trail use and why not to do it ,and one look at that stock FJ with not even a true recovery point and it should be obvious that he has no idea that thaere are boundries offroad other than the limits of the vehicle . I've noticed that the folks in the elite type groups will then after the fact gripe loudly about the miss-dead , well just sayin " I don't think you should try this " is not the same as outlining the legal use of the trail to a clueless person .
On my way out to the main road I had my right rear coil snap in two I was going 20 or less and just getting ready to make the swing onto 43 headed towards cr47 this caused me to dip to the side unexpectedly and my front passenger tire dropped off the hill and the rest of the jeep followed , well surprising the hell out of me it did not roll at the angle it was at I started to pull my winch cable looking for a point to winch all my recovery gear was out of reack on the floor passenger side , and most of crew comming out assumed I was trying to wheel that piece of realestate and drove by with a smirk , and only a group of kids were there to give me the help i needed to recover that without incident , and these would be the kind of folks the elite jeep folk gripe about .

1-tonxj = Richard cranium.
I LOL'd ...... :thumbup:
Since we're on the police theme.....
A guy wanted an old 50's Chevy truck bed trailer hauled off. Amongst the crap piled in it was this:
Wish it had the harness and mic.
And along the way to get the trailer, I saw this cool '46 Olds sled. Looks to have air bags (old school switches below the dash) and sweet wheel covers. Sorry, I geeked out over it because I never see them... Other than mine.

Re: The Colorado BS thread
Love the paint. Good to see that there is still someone out there that gets the idea of a
"Lead Sled"
They are supposed to have ratty paint...
And wide white side walls...
And hubcaps. Those are particularly nice. An "upgrade" from Moons which would be the traditional choice.
Me, I am partial to Baby Moons.

Re: The Colorado BS thread
I have to admit that the banners and stickers do get attention. When Sgt. Betka handed my chapter decal to me, I told him that I would stop driving like a arse-whole.
I have to admit, I got a little defensive while reading your posts. I have met three of the four guys on that run, wrenched with two of them. The three I have met face-to-face, are soft spoken. I won't put thought in their heads, or words in their mouths, any more than I would put thoughts in your head, or words in your mouth. Is this a topic you want me to open over there?

Re: The Colorado BS thread
Snatched up an old truck bed trailer a guy wanted hauled off. Partly loaded with his scrap, the rest from the clean up of my lot. Makes it easy when you don't have to unload it!
But DAMN was All Recycling busy this morning...
I was there 2 hrs just to drop that trailer and recycle some aluminum and batteries.
Scrap prices bring the suck lately. Especially when they're getting so flooded with incoming material, they're getting picky. They took off 30 lbs of weight from the trailer and load because the trailer had 2 tires, the seats had foam and material still on them, an old wheel barrow had wood and one tire, and 3 small rubber tires from a hand cart.
1,500 lbs of scrap and I got $113.
Oh well. I kept this kitchy-cool tailgate and tail light from the trailer, I just dig the patina on it...... might just have to make a man-cave wall hanging out of it.

Re: The Colorado BS thread
Anyone know if you can get a vin inspection / road inspection done at any state trooper office? I've been calling past two weeks to springs office to get my inspection done on one of my days off. (Street legalized the dirt scooter) Not even a returned call yet. I have been told to stop calling once I leave a voicemail and when he gets to me he will get to me. That's just to set the apt. God know how far out they are looking to do the stupid inspection. I don't get why only one state trooper can do this.
