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.
If you turned around, and looked due south from the Raymond Store (the place that appears at the end of your video), you would have seen the top of Miller Rock peaking out over the top of the trees. It is a very sharp rock pinnacle that is hard to climb, even using your hands. A low-level (say 5.2) technical climb. No kidding. We don't four-wheel (all I have is a '96 Neon), but ride mountain bikes and hike. Everyone is welcome.
Oh nice! I guess we will have to go back and try and find it. Mt biking sounds awesome but i think i need a few years of some easy trails to really learn on. 😅
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.
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! 💪🏻
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
That was a killer cut at the beginning!
🙏🏻🙏🏻thank you!

Real Nice Video !! I've been in that area but never run those trails. It's definitely on my list for this year looks cool !!
Thanks so much for watching!

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
@@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.

@@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.
Had a blast! Thank you Chris, Paul, Justin, Melissa!
You are welcome and definitely a big thanks to Chris for the great video such a fun day
Your welcome my friend! Glad to have you out with us!
It was a great time y’all!
@@justinjaramillo2352 it was awesome wheeling with you!
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. 🤪😅
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
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.
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! 😀
The RTT and awning + the roof rack on that tacoma seems sketchy af.

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
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.
@@barelymadeit
Thank you for the info.
