I got a little video from my perspective, I should have shared so you could edit it in. Looks way sketchier we you can see the passenger rear trying to drop off the ledge the whole time.
That’s awesome! They have changed some since the last 9 years since I have been here, sometimes they get easier, sometimes they get harder. The rain last summer made calamity and scratch and dent harder.
It seems like none of the buggies carry spares or powertanks. What do you guys do in case of a flat, especially one where the sidewall is ripped? I just got a buggy and am trying to figure out the best equipment to carry on board. Sweet vid, keep 'em coming!
Yeah, that's true, I don't know anyone who carries a spare on their buggy, its too much weight. It doesn't happen much, but we had a guy cut his sidewall on a trail a couple weeks ago, most of us do carry plugs, and one person had on board air, so he was able to fill the sidewall with plugs and keep going. The worst case scenario is drive back on a flat, which I have seen, or run back to a trailer and even use your truck spare if the same pattern.
@@wheelinoutwest Got it, yes I've taken the huge 42" spare off, and was Thinking of carrying a powertank with some plugs. Sounds like that's the way to go
Enjoy the videos! Curious what your wheelbase is? I live in Montrose also and that exit line always gets me feeling a little uneasy. It's always interesting watching rigs with different wheelbases give it a go. Maybe we'll see you out there sometime this year.
Thanks! My wheelbase is 110. That line seems to favor shorter wheelbases. This last time I was out, I tried the left line, and right now its much better than the right line. It will be interesting to see how that changes over time! For sure, maybe well see you out there on the trails!
@@wheelinoutwest I've been lucky enough to squeak by at 107" but yeah always changing for sure. I'm sure you'll have fun with the rear steer on that line with the new buggy. What did the wb end up on the new one? I've watched all the videos, but don't remember hearing that spec.
@@charlesboyd4469 the new one will be 110 as well. Just from my observation it always seems to be a good balance on steep climbs, yet able to navigate rocks. I suppose it’s one of those things that can be different for everyone. Thanks for watching, i appreciate it!
Thanks! My brother in law weighed his buggy, which is all the same components/chassis as mine, and it was around 3800 lbs, I believe mine to be pretty close. I am running about 7 psi in these KR2s. A little lower than I had to run in my 42 inch Krawlers.

That would have been cool to add that perspective to it.
it looked like it was a little sketchy , i cant wait to see the new buggy go up this ,, stay safe friend
Thanks, this spot can be sketchy, can't wait to try new lines with the new one in the future as well!!
Great video, love the content.
Thanks! Appreciate it!
Great stuff as always Rob! I'll try and share so people can see the awesome stuff you're putting out.
Thanks for the support!
Awesome Wheeling!
Thanks for checking it out!
I love that trail. When I lived in Rifle 20 years ago we ran the Montrose trails almost every weekend. I wish we would have videoed things back then.

How much does your buggy weigh? what psi do you tend to run? Awesome looking trails, much different than here in Canada

Right on! That was a sweet line, thanks for the explanation walk through.
@@austinadventure thanks for the feedback, I might try to do that more in future videos!
