CJ to JK in CO - New member

[mizedog]

Hey all,
I'm fairly new to Colorado. I've got a new, JK and am ready to sell my CJ-7. Goodbye big rocks, hello camping/exploring. Goodbye whiteknuckles at 60mph, hello airconditioning at 80mph. Goodbye earplugs, hello having a good time with the kids (and hearing them). Goodbye8-12mpg, hello 18-22mpg. Goodbye V8 :sad:

Hey Kurt, welcome aboard. Colorado rocks! This past August we did the Ouray trails. Totally amazing. That JK will do more than you think. We had to rent one (2-door) while we were out there for over a week - and it didn't stop us from doing anything we had planned to in Rick's CJ-7. And they drive like you're sitting on a cloud hehe

Miz welcome....Hows co treating you? You miss old CA at all?

Welcome,

I bet you will miss the CJ after she's gone!

Welcome to MJR!!! I'm hoping to make it out to CO and do some wheelin' one of these days . . . one of the places I'm considering relocating to depending on what happens with my job . . . how do you like it out there? The JK is nice, but I agree with Roger . . . keep the CJ too!

Thanks for the welcome!
I think Spring's coming around. But, it's slow. Yesterday it started at 32 degrees with snow, was super icy through Black Forest, but became sunny in Co Springs, then snowed 3 or 4 times during the morning, then was sunny again. The snow melts/evaporates really quickly here. There were people playing golf by 3:00!

Anyway, I'm planning on catching some big trout and panning for gold this summer. I'm hoping to put some 33's on the new Jeep soon and build a cheap from bumper.

I'm getting spring fever and am ready to get out in the mountains!! Yes, you can wheel all winter in SoCal. I do miss that.
