Thanks everyone!

WELCOME DD!
Great to have you aboard. What color you getting?

Thanks Iroman....well, had my heart set on the Flame Blue Supercrew. But been really considering the Silver too with the hood graphic. Also waiting to see a Race Red one but probably not going to be able to wait that long.


those wheels are the black/polished Addicts right? i like those...

Yes, those are the Addicts. I thought they went well with the color scheme of my truck.


Welcome Stranger :gathering:

Hey FX4....can't imagine that I would see you here! :signs8:


Where in the world did you get that fantastic name????

hehe...we must have great taste in trucks and names. Actually, been using mine since my early Jeep and Tahoe days years ago. Sure goes well considering where we live. :happy160:

Thanks pirate air! Great offroading up by you for sure. Used to take my old '70 Bronco out around there. I also used to live in Ouray and had lots of fun "jeeping" around Durango, Cortez, and Ouray.

Cool area for sure. That picture of my Raptor in the cut out was near Ouray. I was headed up Imogene pass.

I thought so! I saw that pic before so made a comment about it in your album. I used to drive that road everyday in a full sized Bronco taking my crew up to the Revenue Virginis Mine there. I need to find my old pics with that cut totally closed in with ice during the dead of winter.....wicked scary drive! Once we got to the mine, we still had to take the tram about a mile in and then down the shafts for about a 1/4 mile to the lower drifts. Not sure which was scarier...lol.

Been over Imogene a couple times too, once in my old full sized Blazer. Too fun!

I bet those are some good pics, I wouldn't dare attempt some of that stuff in the winter time. Specially the Teluride side, it gets narrow for full size rigs. The Raptor barely fits. Is that mine still in operation?

Yeah, the Bronco was bad enough so couldn't even imagine taking a Raptor during the winter.

The mine actually produced good grade silver ore but closed after the company I worked for was acquired through a hostile takeover by a much larger firm. I always wanted to go back there for a visit. I still have some great shots of the mine workings on my office wall.
