We couldn't help but chuckle at this at Alpine Tunnel. Shaft's gonna be waitin a VERY long time for that train We checked out the buildings up there and read about some of the history of the tunnel before heading back down and then over to the south side of Hancock where we ascended the...

Since we had already started our way up Tincup Pass the day before, we started our day by heading up to the top of the pass. After reaching the top, we headed down the other side towards St. Elmo. From St. Elmo, we had a multitude of choices, so we came up with a plan that we thought...

Tuesday morning we got up pretty early and played around with the camera getting some cool shots of Emerald Lake with the sun coming up. Since we didn't have any major wheeling plans for Tuesday, we thought it would be a great day to have a big breakfast of pancakes, bacon, and eggs...

From the mill we headed down to Marble and had lunch by Beaver Lake before heading back up Lead King Basin. Lead King was a gorgeous trail, and it looked like we had missed the full bloom of the wildflowers there by less than a week. Lead King brought us back near Crystal to hook up with...

We got up on Day 3 really looking forward to the trails ahead of us that day. Even though it was over 8 years ago, I had done Pearl and Taylor already. Today we were headed out to Devil's Punchbowl and Lead King Basin, two trails that have been on my to-do list for a VERY long time. You know...

Getting closer to the top And we're there! Headed down towards CB Shortly after the pass we noticed that one of the water jugs in the trailer had managed to leak all over our tent and one of the sleeping bags. We didn't stop for any pics on the way down since we wanted to try and...

We got up the next morning to a beautiful sunrise. We broke camp and made the short trip up to the top of Taylor Pass. And then headed down towards Ashcroft When we got to Ashcroft our group grew by 1 as Justin was able to join up with us. We hung out for a bit while Justin aired down and...

I've been wanting to do a big trip like this for a long time now, and was finally able to make it happen. We covered a lot of miles, a lot of sweet trails, and had an amazing time. We were all exhausted, and quite smelly, by the end of the trip. Noah (rubbersidedown) and Justin (ColoradoXJ)...

The one on my car hauler cracked after a couple years. Still usable though. I've got a spare one to carry with me now though since I have them on my M416 and the car hauler.

Are you the same Jeepin Jason from jeepin.com? I got my e-start on there waaaaaay back in the day!

My TJ Gambler wheels fit just fine over my abctrailerparts.com spindles, so I would assume the Rubi wheels would be the same. I skipped out on the center caps and just run the dust caps on the spindles.

Having lived in Colorado for 20 years, I'd have to say that's one helluva Colorado Experience!

So last weekend we took our M416 out on its maiden voyage. It worked freaking great. Couldn't be happier with its performance outside of the smoothie it made out of our cooler, that was mostly my fault for putting the cooler in the wrong spot and really pushing the trailer. Anyways, towards...

That's an awful lot of work just to run center caps IMO. And now you have to take the wheel off to grease the axle, if you didn't run the center cap in the wheel you wouldn't have to jack up the trailer and remove the wheels to grease them.

What do you guys do to keep things from getting bounced around a lot in the cooler/fridge besides going really slow? We had our Coleman steel belted cooler in our M416 this weekend and it ended up making a slushie of ice, beer, soda, chicken, brats, and eggs that ended up coming out the top of...

Here she is! Couple small details to tie up still but nothing major. Trailer sits a little higher than the Jeep. I've got some spacers for the back I might throw in, also hoping some weight in the trailer lowers it a bit. Been really happy with the lunette/pintle so far. Also mounted...

It's almost done. We got a LOT done this weekend. Last weekend we worked on some of the wiring and finished painting the frame. We got the tub media blasted at Blast Tech this week, they did a great job and the price was great too. Finished up the SOA this morning and started painting the...

When mine's not attached to my Jeep it'll be in my garage so I'm not too concerned there, but I've got an idea for when I have to leave it overnight attached to the Jeep. Use a cable/chain like others have mentioned, but go through the a-frame on my M416 and then through the safety chain loops...

Got it disassembled today and the frame primered. Gonna take the tub off to get media blasted this week hopefully and have a new axle on the way. Ended up not getting 33x10.50's but 12.50's instead. Oh well. Hope to have it put back together within 2-3 weeks.

Alright, it's time to get down to business with this thing. Picking up some tires for it in the next few days hopefully, and ordering an axle and some new wheels. I'm gonna run 33x10.50's to help keep it narrow, and was thinking a WMS on the new axle of around 58-60". I'd like to keep the...
