    Private Camping Near Silverton

    Hey guys, anyone heading up to Silverton for a little wheeling and wants a bit more private camp area on a busy weekend or something PM me. I bought a bunch of mining claims to build a retirement home on and will sell the rest after some development. Most beautiful place in the US. Monster water...

    2019 Sierra Carnage

    Looks like we have some real interest in a 2019 Sierra Carnage. I realize its late planning for this, but with the proposed dates we do have time. I think its easier to plan some place like this where the string can be easily found unlike Face Book. The dates someone proposed coming down from...

    2018 Carnage?

    Seems like we gave in to reality that every other year made more financial sense(and less stress) for the Carnage. Really hoping to get back in the saddle with trips next year. Even applying for some rafting permits next month if anyone is interested. So how is everyone looking at this point...

    Fall Utah Trip Discussion

    I know big trips this summer fell apart, mostly due to dates. But there has been some rumblings of a fall Utah trip. So I will throw September 30-October 8 out there and see if it sticks for anyone.....Relatively warm still but not hot, days not super short yet, some leaves changing.... PS...

    Colorado Alternative to the Carange?

    A couple of us cannot make the annual Sierra Carnage this year due to the fact we have kids now, and have to be back before most want to leave for the Carnage due to school. So the idea came up to have a Colorado alternative trip earlier. Obviously a bit different, with no Colorado four...

    Baofeng the official Mitsusbishi trip radio of choice

    FRS radios and Especially CBs are just outdated in-efficient. Seems like everyone is picking these little hand held radios up, and they just flat work. Looks like for 60.00 you can pick up the top dog. Thinking about this one. Its the top of the line with 8 Watts and a DC charger unlike the...

    First Impressions Smitty Built Awning

    So we all see the over landing "trends and gizmos". I was a bit dubious about awnings but ended up with one for my birthday. Esther went with a Smitty Built, quite a surprise considering there reputation for poor quality. But it had some of the better reviews on the market while being cheaper...

    Mt Blanca Labor Day Weekend?

    Sadly it seems we may no longer have active NM or CO Mitsu owners like we once did, but I thought I would see if anyone is up for a Holiday weekend trip up Mt Blanca. One of the most scenic trails in Colorado, and the most difficult. One of those trails better driven with someone who has been...

    First SAS Impressions

    Back from a shake down run in Silverton for the 4th. 2 Front drive shaft bolts were loose and I ended up with a badly damaged U-joint. A number of other small issues to address as well. It is certainly is not quite "Sierras Ready" as Esther put it. Whether this is worth it or not, is dependent...

    2016 Sierra Carnage

    Want to see where we are at on this, and who is interested. Last proposed dates were 7/22-7/31 due to kids being out of school partly. We are building a new home but planning to try and make this happen somehow as long as we have interest thus year. I believe the plan was to alternate to the...

    When Mitsubishi abandoned you, you purchased......................

    Curious, I bought many Monteros, including 3 brand new, 1 like new. For those that occasionally buy new rigs, what did you buy after Mitsu turned you off and gave up trucks and SUVs? How many vehicles and dollars did it cost them so far? Me: 2005 Xterra 26,000.00 2005 Nissan...

    Dethroning the Montero as Best riding 4x4 SUV

    Finally had a chance to get the 2015 TRD Pro 4 Runner out, and in my opinion to date the Montero was the best riding 4x4 SUV in history...But not any more. Wash outs, ditches, rocks....no need to slow down, stunning upset to the Montero. How about the worst riding 4x4s of all time? Whats your...
