So much to unpack here so this post may get edited a couple of times.
I took a weeklong off-roading trip to the Breckenridge Colorado area with my Bronco and off-road club Midwest Krawlers a few weeks ago. Did some pretty epic trails.
Georgia Pass, Saints John, Chihuahua Gulch, Red Cone, Wheeler Lake, Clear Lake, Peak 10, and last but certainly not least Holy Cross.
The Bronco did awesome for the most part. My only major hiccup was that I forgot to check my air filter before the trip. Lots of dust roads combined with an already dusty air filter combined with 12,000-13,000 elevations, I struggled with some power issues climbing over big obstacles on the first day. Stopped by the local Ford dealership got a new filter and my issues were resolved the rest of the trip.
Only had to pull winch line once all week, on the first obstacle on Holy Cross. It had rained quite a bit the day before and there was a bit of mud and water sitting at the base. If you know this obstacle it's a shelf slab that is angled and off-camber. We had a big group, there were 2 groups in front of us and one behind, and with the slick conditions it just wasn't feasible to take a bunch of time on multiple attempts. I made up for it by taking a right-hand side (hard) line on French Creek Crossing. Holy Cross was epic and my favorite by far. Wheeler Lake was beautiful and had some great obstacles.
We had about 20 rigs come on this trip and another 20 or so went out to Ouray for the week.
