Colorado Adventures Continued (Punk'n JLR)

[Krondor]

Back from Wyoming where we hiked Baby Lake Trail in Medicine Bow.

Route finding proved to be more entertaining than expected with lots of downed trees and snow. Our first camp was awesome with a nice fire, yes we went all the way up to Wyoming so we could enjoy a campfire! We then hiked out and camped at the vehicles before making the journey home. The Jeep was not happy with the winds on the way out but had no challenges getting to the trailhead. lol

I really wanted that table for this. The bumper was all I had for food prep, so it was a good thing all I had to do was boil water and rehydrate the meal.

I'm very happy to have gotten out to join my buddy on his birthday outing. Hope Moab in September will not be sidetracked by the Rona. Life is Good.

Very nice man! We've been being lazy with our camping and just sleeping in the Jeep at the trailheads

Don't you have the bed on wheels behind the Jeep? I don't remember which trailer, but I'm still looking for one myself.

Trying on some new shoes.

Method 702's with BFGoodrich Mud-Terrains LT315/70R17.

Them wheels look sweeeeet!

We did but actually recently sold it. We haven't been using it much and we had to pay for storage which wasn't cost effective.

We've been using the sleep jeep air mattress which is nearly as comfortable.

I'm beginning to think a utility trailer that can haul camping gear at times would be the ticket for me. Something I can store in the garage.

So these are both 315/70R17...

Loving the ride with the KM3's. Decided to stop by the shop to test the flex. No clearance issues, and I think I could go with a puck or so less bump stop at each corner.

 

[Krondor]

Removed a puck from each corner, but still looks like I can stuff a bit more. Think I'll leave well enough alone for now and see how it goes.

Space up front.

Space still left in the back.

Not enough tire to have to remove the inner fender liners.

Love those 702s, don't see them too often on Jeeps. How much poke do those wheels/tires have? Got any pics from the side?

Been contemplating the same, been told i really have to watch my shock compression.

They are about an inch and a half out, but you only really notice in the rain. lol

Front tires are slightly turned.

Yes, there may be truth to that. So far I seem to be limited by the same. Still not stuffing quite as much as I'd hoped even with their shocks. The extra travel is nice though. I've been trying some local trails, but nothing has them really flexing yet. Well, not that I felt comfortable stopping for photo ops for anyway.

I also love the 702s. About to lift now. I hope to use a 1" bumpstop spacer on mine with 35s and Mopar lift. We will see.

here are some pics of the 702s on a JLUR.

Still happy with the KM3s? I'm still debating and seeing your pics of them running noticeably smaller than the Patagonias size for size is making me blink and think about 37x12.50x17 KM3s, especially if they're going to run a tad smaller than 37 pats.

Such a tough call. Pats or KM3s, 35s or 37s. The eternal debate.
