Props for wheeling with a full family, dog. It takes a lot of concentration to be safe and at least on video everyone in the vehicle seems to know when to keep it down and let you focus. I wheel with my dog and I think that is too much to handle sometimes. lol I can't wait to get back to Colorado and explore more of these trails. Thanks for the video.
I recommend getting the books' called, " Guide to Colorado Backroads & 4-wheel- Drive trails" by Charles A. Wells & Matt Peterson. I think I've got the 1st three editions and there's also similar books he did for the trails in Moab, Utah. It's the books I use when looking for new trails to try out. Alot of good information in these books. I got all of them when I was at the visitor center in Georgetown, Colorado. I'm from Minnesota and I'm thinking about going to Colorado again instead of going to Montana since I don't have trail maps for that State.
I was hoping the Taco to almost burrito teaser video meant a full video was incoming! Looks like some to add to my ever growing list w/special reminder to download the maps to my tablet and phone as backup
@@DeanJohnson67 5.13s have been great but i wouldnt stress it too much. The gas mileage id about the same for us and the 4:10 T case powers through any trail on 4:10 gears no problem on 37s. I think you emailed about your trip. We have been so busy im sorry for not getting back to you but we would love to join you on a trail.
Thats gotta be hard to know where to turn your wheel when everyone is trying to yell spot at the same time every time... Yeesh.. specially when its your first Time doing it. I wanna go do miller rock now though
Yea i agree, wheeling with an RTT is always sketchy, IMO. I think the previous owner included it as a value add for Flavion, but hes def going to take it off.
Yeah I don't know if it's a lack of understanding about weight and balance or guy has balls of steel and deep pockets. He was about 1deg from rolling it though. At least put the tent on the bed of the truck where it is designed to hold that weight and lowers the center of gravity. You need all the help you can get on these IFS trucks.
@@TheVikingSailor I think it might be a mixture of both. With a sprinkle of dumb luck. Haha. He bought the truck with the tent like that, and immediately when to wheel it. He said he was going to sell it after this trip.
Lol Not selling the RTT, I just fixed it! I keep it off mostly but was planning to go camping for a couple of nights instead of wheeling. Luck was a big factor there for sure, but I gotta say that I was not used at all with the crawl control and it surprised me pulling the truck up when I was not ready for it. I do not have deep pockets hahaha
@@Conexao.coloradooutdoors oh nice man! Also i want to be clear the term “dumb luck” is american slang for when you get lucky. 😀 but you told me that day you where gonna sell it? Glad youre gonna make use of it though! 💪🏻
That was a killer cut at the beginning!
🙏🏻🙏🏻thank you!

@@justinjaramillo2352 it was awesome wheeling with you!

The snow is FINALLY slowing so trails are opening! We have a lot of cool trips planned already!
@@barelymadeit Finally went from 35s to 37s! Now I for sure need to go to 5.13s before my trip there in August

@@barelymadeit ya my main reason is that I tow a 4k pound travel trailer and going through CO mtn passes
@@DeanJohnson67 oh thats about as heavy as our popup. Its no fun towing with these 5.13s will really help.
We just did Miller Rock and the actual Miller Rock I think waypoint 10 obstacle was so sketchy lol glad you guys didn't go that route!!
Oh wow! Really! Now i feel like we have to go back. 🤪😅
Who is the guy in the bronco and does he have a channel? Just traded my wrangler for a bronco and love his setup.
Very nice man! Paul actually has a channel but he recently changed his name. I think its elemental_offroad now.
Great video. When did you hit this trail? Recently?
Thank you! Yes it was last minute friday the weather looked good for saturday so we went! 😀
Thanks! Trail looked like it was in great condition
Jeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzz!
When did you guys run this? Was planning to go up next week but was not sure of the conditions.
We ran it this past Saturday! Weather was great and the trail was clear! 😀

Youre absolutely right! In our excitement we werent very considerate of guiding him in a calm way. We need to do better next time.
@@barelymadeityou guys did great though! Sometimes I was not listen to any of you haha
The RTT and awning + the roof rack on that tacoma seems sketchy af.

What tires and size are you running on your Gladiator?
These are the cooper STT Pro 17x37x13.5 measured against Mikes(seen in the redcone video with the 100k gladiator) 38 pats they are bigger overall.
