    No, unfortunately not. The shop did the work and I had a hard time convincing them to let me take any pictures in their work area. I am sure it should be easy for you to wire them your own way.

    About 200 miles before I left for my road trip, I did an oil change. I mixed oils up since I am planning to send in for a oil sample after using a mixture of different oil weights to see what Blackstone Laboratories say. I am planning to go for 15,000 or 20,000 miles before my next oil change...

    Today, we left Colorado Springs for the 6 hours drive to Amarillo, TX. Tomorrow we will do the 9.5 hours drive home. Today was 6 hours of smooth driving where I almost ran out of gas doing mostly 80mph. When I filled up in Colorado Springs I was hoping my full tank of 26 gallons of gas would...

    Yesterday was our last day in Colorado Springs. Went early to Pikes Peak. Glad we got there before 10am because after that, the crowd was just too much for a Monday. Also, there is a major construction going on at the summit for a new welcome center, so you are allowed to park only at mile 13 or...

    That is cool to know you may retrace some of my visits on this trip. No, I did not do any trail while in Colorado Springs. But if anybody visits Canon City to visit the Royal Gorge Bridge, I strongly recommend taking the scary Skyline Drive. It is a really great drive. Those who have done it...

    Next, we drove for 1 hour 30 minutes each way to visit the Royal Gorge. Very touristic place. $29 admission fee per person. So many tjings to do. Too bad we waited in line for almost an hour for the Gondola ride onky for it to be canceled because of weather. Any lightning puts a halt to it for...

    I left Ouray yesterday at about 8am for a 7 hour drive to Colorado Springs. I stopped in Aspen, Colorado, but there was not much to do. Just way too many people put enjoyng the Saturday. I visited a Farmer's market for a bit. And then got back into my car to begin my climb up to Independence...

    This was my last pass for my trip to Ouray. One final stop now at Animas Forks and then off to Silverton to air my tires and then drive back to Ouray. These are some of my pictures from the beautiful Animas Forks. And this is all for my Ouray offroading adventures for 2020. Tomorrow, I...

    I continued straight to Engineer Pass. The top of Engineer Pass was very busy. Tons of people stopping for a quick picture and continuing. It was a rocky climb and I scrapped my bottom twice on my descend from Engineer Pass. My QX just took it like a belly rub. Engineer Pass (12, ft) I made a...

    Next stop; Hurricane Pass (12,730 ft) Immediately after that; a pic at California Pass with Lake Como in the background. I wanted to go right to the lake, but access was closed since Poughkeepsie Gulch is currently closed and that is the only way I could get full access to be right at the lake...

    Very busy day today on the trails. Over 5 hours of beating my QX hardcore on the trails. I did Corckscrew Gulch, Hurricane Pass, California Pass, Engineer Pass, Cinnamon Pass and Animas Forks. I had a few battle scars as I rubbed my underbelly 2 times on Engineer Pass when descending because of...

    All done with Telluride, it was time to head back to Ouray through Ophir Pass. There was some traffic on the road, but a good drive. First, I just can never pass by the Post Office in Ouray without taking a pic. Ophir Pass (12,700 ft) Quick pic at Ophir Post Office 3 bikers passed me. I saw in...

    We got to Telluride and went our separate ways since we each had different things to do. But we made plans to possibly meet each other again to do Ophir Pass on our way back to Ouray. In Telluride, I drove to Bridal Veil Falls. That place was PACKED. So many people. So many cars. A few of my...

    The descend was pretty uneventful but worth sharing a few pics. A quick glance at Black Bear Pass switch backs. Social Tunnel. And that concludes the Imogene Pass for our own small "FJ Summit 2020".
