Sure, I can head up there. I'm tied up today, tomorrow, and this coming Sunday, but the following week I should be clear. If Chad can make it over, maybe we can make a wrenching party of it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Keep me appraised of when your parts come in and we'll see about making this happen.

Chad, if you haven't met him already, you should look up Edward Shepard (ES_97Sport on this board). While my '88 is pretty heavily modified, his '97 is a closer match to your '98 and is even more modified than my truck. It should give you plenty of inspiration. As well, keep me appraised of when your parts come in and perhaps I can give you a hand with that as well.

There are plenty of trails from which to choose. Check out http://www.traildamage.com/trails/index.php to get an idea. One of the popular trails near the Denver-Metro area (it's near Conifer) is a trail called Slaughterhouse. It's a fun trail for both new and old wheelers alike. A fully stock truck can make it through without much trouble. The first time I did that trail was at night in a snowstorm and my Montero was fully stock with 30" tires which didn't have much tread on them. It was an interesting night. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> Now, it's cake-crumbs for me, but I still have fun on that trail. I'd love to do a night run on it again. Was going to do a night run on it a couple weeks ago with a guy on Colorado4x4.org, but his schedule keeps interfering. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Let's keep in touch.
