The obligatory "Show off your LR3' thread

[EIGHTLUG]

There were many abandoned cabins along the route:

Some nice rock features toward the end of Weston Pass:

Pit Stop, just south of Leadville:

Downtown Leadville!:

Royal Gorge:

We're crossing those! Via Hayden Pass:

Looking down into Coaldale from Hayden Pass:

Typical running on the eastern side of Hayden Pass:

My wife, piloting the Disco 3:

We saw A LOT of wildlife on the trails:

It wasn't all easy going:

Nearing the summit of Hayden Pass:

Still snow in the upper elevations:

Anyone for Landie Limbo?? The Rover easily made it through (lke 3 inches to spare) The 3... not so much. Next purchase....CHAINSAW.

Finally. All downhill from here, but not any easier.

This terrain definitely wasn't in the trail map. It made for an interesting decent of Hayden Pass:

Oh, how I prayed and prayed not to cut a tire:

 

[EIGHTLUG]

Then PSSSSSSSSST...Hairiest tire change I've had to do. The jack didn't make it. It was the OEM scissor jack and it didn't like operating on the side of a mountain. So next purchase is a nice bottle jack.

I have more pictures of Medano Pass and The Great Sand Dunes. Those were the most fun. There were about 7 or 8 water crossings. Ranging from 1-2.5 ft in depth. All in all it was a fun couple days.

Thanks for the vid Erek.

Victory..... yeah what a mess that turned out to be

 

[Houm_WA]

No doubt! Here is another view...shows how "violent" it really was, as you so eloquently put it in your e-mail. I love how the video starts with me kicking my brother's kids out of the rig on account of them whining so much! My 3 year old stayed in...'cause she's tough as nails.
