One Piece at a Time: My 1985 Diesel Suburban

Four mountain passes later, and we’re in Grand Junction, but not before stopping to visit some friends.

Excellent side hike. Great hosts. @offgridoffroad

Sweet!

Where was this picture taken?

I know there are LOTS of striped rocks out there, but it reminds me of a particular spot over by Escalante Canyon. And you are in that area... :thinking:

:popcorn:
 
That’s somewhere near mile marker 82 on CO141, probably close to where you’re thinking.

SCORE! :woot:

I don't have a picture of that turnout, but we stopped at several spots along that stretch, to look down at the river and the hanging flume. It's a small world, eh? :haha:
 
Bummed I missed the last IG live yesterday. Got on just as it dropped out. Stupid work getting in the way.

At least the weather looks good for some Wheeling.

So is the burb getting stickered up in all the sponsor livery today before the trail?

Yes. She’s all tarted up.

Freshly bathed. The green jeep is procharged, while the white one has a 58mm turbo. We turned a few wrenches on the latter because a charge pipe didn’t line up right and was going to let go at some point.

This is the calm before the storm

AKA drinking beer and telling lies
Also, yes.

We built out 40s by committee for BleepinJeep.

Y’all should check out the IG stuff tomorrow. It’s the one day I won’t be the only square on the trail.

I called for backup.

Well if you’re going to call for back up... you could do a lot worse
 
HELL YEAH! Bringing Watson in for backup is like bringing a Howitzer to a knife fight. I like your level of overkill.

Oh and checking out some of the IG feeds from last night was pretty cool. I'd say that Cherokee on the 40" Treps isn't going to make it off the trail today without breaking an axle shaft in one of the D44's.
