    Might I suggest the Leadville area. You will get much more value for your dollar and the town is still authentic, more so than anything in the Aspen area and yet you’re still close enough to do anything there you’d like to!!

    I live in Colorado...I think the elevated highway you mentioned may have been Glenwood Spring? That is an awesome drive.
    Wintertime on westbound I-70 is a gamble sometimes...I wish more people had your attitude about taking it slow and enjoying the scenery! Everybody always seems to want to get there first, like it will disappear before they get to their destination!
    Stay safe and keep having fun!

      We've definitely been surprised by the amount of people flying around us on mountain passes...especially when it's been snowy/icy. 😟 Then again, we might be overly cautious, especially in our new rig, but still...some of these people freak us out they go so fast! 🏎💨

We decided to get tickets to a couple of events while we were there. The skate board half pipe was amazing! X-games athletes are a different kind of athlete!

    They are in the low roof model, the CX, which is no longer made. The taller roof model is the TX, which is all they make now, and there's plenty of headroom. The taller roof model also gives you taller upper cabinets, and more room above you in the cabover bed.

    Those X games look like a blast. But, now that you've seen them, wait a few days before leaving. Colorado has enough sunny days. All you have to do is wait for the roads to clear up. Like your new smoky blue truck. It's got a lot packed into it, plus you can walk from the cab to the back and not worry about the "knock."

    Manual hubs are awesome for a 4x4. I believe the auto industry will bring them back soon. If they are not already on some 4x4's. Looks like fun time at the X-Games. Also great videoing of those athletes.

    We bought a hard shell top for our truck bed and did a mini conversion. They come in a variety of heights so we got one a little taller than our truck and did a double layer of foam insulation in the back and it was surprisingly warm. I liked having a window between the two areas big enough to fit through. A high-quality memory phone mattress to keep things small is the way to go. It would have been perfect if we had built the kitchen trailer for better storage management.

  • @dougflippo1523
    @dougflippo1523 Рік тому

    Those locker switches on the wheels are most likely to lock your hubs in when doing some offloading. It makes the tires on each axle turn at the same speed. You should still have 4 wheel drive without "turning them in"

    • @jrobdickson8498
      @jrobdickson8498 Рік тому

      um,nope-you're "free wheeling" if the hubs are unlocked- the hub lock connects/disconnects the front wheels from the driveline-maybe you were thinking of "differential lock"?

    I flew into that airport many times for work. I have to let you know here they close I70 at the sign of the first snow flake since so many flatlanders struggle with winter driving in the high country.
    Applaud you guys for acquiring the right vehicle. I just spotted the same rig (white Tiger) on Craig's List for a reasonable price. If I hadn't already built my own from a E450 I would have jumped. BTW- I used to camp in ski area lots in my hippie van in the 70's just to be the 1st on the lift, and the grilled brats and beer afterwords were great.

    This is the first and only video of yours I've seen, so idk what you've visited yet, but I used to live in Colorado. If you haven't already, check out The Royal Gorge Bridge. It still holds the record for the world's highest suspension bridge. Also, Bishops Castle is pretty cool. Pueblo and Pueblo West were pretty nice areas when I lived out there. That was back in 1994-96, though so idk about the current state. Anywhere along the Colorado River is pretty nice. A family member used to own some land that the river cut through, and I spent many summers rafting down it. That was always fun.

The interior looks great for a 2013! The cutting board gives great extra counter space. If you were going to camp in the 4x4 all the time, you’d probably want to get a roll of reflectix to cut to fit in the over the cab windows for added insulation. Thanks for bringing us along.

    That is a great vehicle to make the trip up to Tuktoyaktuk, Canada. It's on the Arctic Ocean, and I've watched other UA-cam travel vloggers make the trip. Did you ever think of traveling the Dempster Highway up above the Arctic Circle? This is a place very few get to. If you do this then you should also take a trip to Ushuaia, Argentina at the bottom of S. America. It's the jumping off point for Antarctica cruises. You could then say you were at both ends of the Americas. Anyway...it'd be cool to watch you guys make a summer trip up to Tuk in that rugged beast.

    You should check out the world's highest suspension bridge here in Canon City. It's called the Royal Gorge Bridge and park and is on one of the highest and deepest canyons in the USA. Not only does is have the world highest suspension bridge (that you can walk and drive across) but it has gondolas and zip lines that go all the way across the canyon and a lay down swing that goes over the edge of the canyon. There are also plenty of places to hike and ride bikes, and I believe there's a free campground on the same road to the park. Looking forward to your next video.
