- 1979 Jeep CJ5 with 304 V8, T18 Transmission, Dana 20 Transfer case with TeraLow 3:1 gears, 4.88 axle gears, Detroit Locker up front and Ox Locker in back with 1 piece axle shafts, 36" SuperSwamper SX Tires, Shackle reversal, MileMarker Hydraulic winch, MSD 6A ignition.
It's time to start planning our 10th Jeep-CJ Trail Ride.
The trail rides will be from Sunday August 8th to the 12th.
This year we'll be using Silverton as our home base.
We plan on going over Black Bear Pass in the reverse direction on Sunday August 8th for anyone interested. Normally Black Bear Pass is one way going into Telluride. I am working on getting the permits approved for us to start in Telluride and go toward the west. This ride for Sunday is optional. It's especially nice for those of us that are used to going the normal direction.
The problem with the Sunday ride over Black Bear Pass in the reverse direction is we must leave Telluride at 7:00 am. Since our base will be in Silverton you may want to stay in or near Telluride Saturday night. As I said this Sunday ride will be optional. Also the permits to run Black Bear in the reverse direction will not be approved until late spring. I will post updates here.
Posi will be assisting me as one of the trail leaders.
Here are some of the trails we'll be going on:
