Sorry, have to go to a wedding this weekend, or I would. Not sure about next weekend.

Had a great weekend, did some hiking near Browns Canyon, took the Bronco on a few trails including Mt Antero - fun climb of 4600 ft in less than 7 miles!

13,890 FT - not the prettiest top but the trail up was fun!

I plan on going back to BV over Labor day weekend to hit 3-4 trails. Let me know if anyone wants to tag along!

Had a great time. Jason came down and we ran Chinaman gulch on Saturday, he even got to test out his 8274 [emoji2].

Was fun and no injuries except body panels and pride.

First 'recovery' for both of us I think...went pretty well, all things considered.

Was it the driver or passenger a-pillar that wasn't aligned correctly, by the PO? LOL.

Hope the damage is easily fixed.

Passenger :) don't think this helped nor hurt it. I will know more when I pull off the fender, hopefully the inner fender isn't bent too bad and I can just swap fenders for now.

I will have to cut off the window frame - i might just swap doors as I have another passenger door hanging in the garage and then repaint the fender and door in a few months and be done with it - might be easier that trying to repair the current door.

the frame to the BC top is pretty twisted and creased - i called and they are willing to send just the parts I need to repair but I am going to look at possibly fixing the major portions myself and just get the little things from them..

Is that on the backside of the loop coming back down? What's the play-by-play? and at least you have pictures. Not one guy had a camera or phone when I flopped mine so all I have is the dents.

Sorry to see your rig on it's side, but thankful you are ok and the recovery was successful.

OCG is one of those trails you can make nearly as hard as you want it, or somewhat mild. So if you're still thinking about it, I would say go for it! Just go with someone experienced if you are not.

You must have had to much helium in the drivers side tires.

It was about 1/2 mile from the end on the downhill loop.
