Actually, the post says Silverton, not Silverthorne. Silverton is an old mining town just off US 550 in southwest Colorado. It is near the famous Alpine Loop off-roading area. Silverthorne is off I-70, just west of the Eisenhower tunnel. Silverton is quite a bit more scenic than Silverthorne.
On the same subject, does anyone know if any of the publicity photos and videos were shot along CO 82 near Independence Pass, Colorado? Many of those scenes remind me of that area, but it is hard to be sure.

Although it may be blasphemy to mention it here, I did the full loop, including Engineer Pass, in my FJ Cruiser back in 2010. I also did a lot of exploring down in that area back in the early 90s in my '85 CJ-7. Raising 3 kids has kept me closer to home in recent years, however. We still get out Jeeping from time to time, but on milder trails near the Front Range.
Sorry, I'm way off-topic, but I couldn't resist.

When you guys go there is it a day trip or does it require overnight? Do they have hotels there or do you have to camp? Seems pretty far from Denver.Although it may be blasphemy to mention it here, I did the full loop, including Engineer Pass, in my FJ Cruiser back in 2010.

I am getting tired of this conversation so I am going to ask my question as I haven't seen this asked yet and if it has I am sorry for asking again.....
For all of you complaining about the red dash I remember reading earlier that it was an option. Has that changed? If so, when did that get F'd up? I do not want a red or silver dash unless I buy a red or silver JL. Hell, I don't want a fake leather dash unless I buy a fake leather exterior JL for that matter. I am picky but I like what I like and if it comes that way I am not going to buy a new Rubi. I will just go buy a new F-350 diesel with my A-Plan discount.
As this probably going to be my last new vehicle for a long time I am going to get exactly what I want and be happy; I refuse to settle.
