I went 4:1 Teralow gearing. I slow crawl up and down anything. Was there just about a month after you. I trailered a 2005 TJ Unlimited to Ouray. Great time!

Awesome history and truck

The equipment at the mine with the electric motor was an air compressor, The rock drills that the miners used to set the dynamite ran on compressed air. Silverton and it's surrounding mines were some of the first cities in the US to receive large scale electric power. I have been to that exact site on the red mountain trail, we also took a tour of a mine that went about a mile inside a mountain on a rail car.

who bulit the wiring harness

Hotty Toddy!

Great video! Thanks

Amen!! Thanks for sharing, Between You and D.I.Y. AUTO SCHOOL & Car Groves anybody can do it. You guys all bring something to the table LOL! Confidence Humor and Pride !!

I have also become emotional enjoying the back country of Colorado in my Jeeps.

Thank for taking us along for the ride. Next time I'll remember to bring my coat,

I say mustang

Thanks for the trip back in time. Back when i lived in Colorado I had a 75 cj5. Bout the same rattle can color also. Went all over that beautiful state. Every year my dad n I would ramble round for two weeks in September.

A friend of mine that grew up in Telluride does those roads in her Subaru, she’s in her sixties.

Both i have two 67 mustang,and a 70 f100 also.

This video is proof that a good woman, beautiful scenery, and a classic jeep are the key to happiness!

Mustang first

Mr.Rob personally I’d like to see that mustang get built ,but that truck needs some love too.

Gears gears gears !!!low first gear T18 ,3:15 TFC gear set , and whatever final gears you think you can get away with on the road . Lol. Now if you can just find someone to finance all that!! I'm really enjoying these videos. This is the style of off-roading I like . God Bless.

A Dana 20 tfc doesn't have to be wore out to get in-between gears what happens is the 4x4/4x2 shift rail will move first and disengage the 4x4 spur gear before the high/low rail moves ALL d20's will do this. Some will do this more than others because the center whole in the little flat bars that connects the two rails was drilled off center giving more leverage on the 4x4 rail making it move first. I have done this by design before sometimes you have to grind a little off the lock lug ( the lug between the rails) to make room so the 4x4/4x2 can move just enough to pass the spur. I like the video. I like Rusty as well. I've been fooling around with old jeeps for 35 years and still love the older cj's . God bless

You should play that “ Maybe “ song. Like at the start or the end of the video. Or both.

I want to vote for the Mustang, but only because I’m currently restoring a 67. I say take care of the truck first because of the sentimental value.

Do the truck. Just brought home a 68 with a straight6 , think it's an 80s model though, it has a floor shift 5speed. Sure could use some guidance, it's the first ford I've had.

TRUCK!!!!

My votes for the truck! Great videos

I vote for the truck. You may not have a specific goal to work toward, but maybe you can make one. How about your grandfather's birthday, or a date special to your family? Since the truck seems to hold more sentimental value, I think it's worth more to put your time and effort into that. Plus, I'm sure your dog would love to go for a slow speed cruise around the farm in the bed of the truck. It doesn't have to be a big trip. But I think it would mean so much more. Then, you can take the fall/winter to work on the mustang for a 2025 spring/summer trip along route 66.

I vote for the truck.

Fix the truck first to go on a fall trip . It reminds me of my grandfather’s old truck . I won’t be mad at a Jeep trip either

I love that truck

F100 first take time on Mustang git right

Go with the truck.

Dear sir, a trip and a beautiful place. This park is close to the city. Thank you

Awesome message!!

Conquers? I drove these roads in a 2-wheel drive Ford Courier long bed in 1986.

Thanks for posting these videos. Driving vintage Jeeps around the beautiful mountains of Colorado is awesome! I've done the Willys Colorado Fall Colors Tour and that was wonderful. Working on building something a little newer for my next trip to the southwest. My 47' Willys 2A isn't the right vehicle for covering the vast distances out there. It would be fun to do this with more people and with similar Jeeps. And you planning another trip in the future?

Thanks for this video it’s just what I needed Im also in the middle of restoring a 74 CJ5 unfortunately I live in Canada so I have to pay mega shipping costs from the US but it’s gotta be done

I've got a '64 and it's like you said, in-between two eras of jeeps and very hard to get aftermarket stuff for. Bikini tops are non existent from what I've found and seats are available but tricky to filter through and find! Your video was helpful, I appreciate it

what and where is "scout camp" ? like a forward observer?

so glad I found this channel. you're right, what a view! would've bought tears to alot of peoples eyes. thanks for sharing!

Hey CJ5 brother! I've got a 1981 with a 258 inline 6. Makes me wish I was living out west again. Not that many overlanding trails around here in central NC. They're all chained up for future condos. 😉

The fact you were doing all those trails in 2WD just shows how capable these machines really are. Really an amazing feat of engineering! There are a few other fascinating channels here on KZbin that focus on exploring abandoned mines. Some of the equipment and relics they find are quite fascinating. I remember going through the Park City Mine adventure in Park City, UT before they closed. It was really neat to see the mines in person. I wish it was still open to the public.

There's no better drive than being in a CJ with the windshield down! Especially when up on a mountain trail with the amazing scenery surrounding you. Beautiful drive and beautiful Jeep!

We need to Jeep together. We have a 1982 CJ7 and overland trailer . I think my sister sent you pics of our set up . We are in Meridian,Ms . I’m looking to do exactly what y’all did here , trailer my Jeep with the overland trailer to CO. Boy do I have a lot of questions. I’ll see if my sister can give you my contact info at church . I want to plan a NC trip with the Jeep as well . We have done the entire Natchez trace and went to Southern CJ Jeep show an swap meet in Kingston GA . We try to drive it as much as possible but CO is a bit far to drive a 42 year old Jeep

Just found y’all ! Love the Cj and the beautiful country. Headed that way ourselves this week ! And God bless y’all for saying God bless. We truly are blessed each and every day and don’t hear that enough as a reminder 🙌🇺🇸

First trip over Black Bear and Imogin passes was 1971 in a stock 1947 CJ2A .

Magnificent video! Two door Jeeps rock!

Awesome CJ5 they are becoming rarer and rarer with each passing year. I would keep that forever.

Love the video but not so much the music. I would rather hear the CJ5 purr going up that trail.

Maybe a upgrade twin stick conversion in the future. And or a lockerfor the rear

It was great to meet you in Ouray today Rob! Thanks for letting me use your flatbed as a drone landing pad!

Hay yall and everyone hope everyone has a blessed and happy Fourth of July 💥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍🙏✝️

Your points demonstration was top tier. I haven’t seen that since the early 90s. Pops taught me to check there for spark and how important it was to keep them free of corrosion.
