Ignoring length restrictions on trails is asking for trouble and possibly damage to the vehicle and the surroundings. One of those is yours to damage if you so choose. The ferry limitations definitely can result in surcharges for both length and height, as the above poster noted. We have had...

Correct. The All Terrain KO is a BF GoodRICH tire, not Goodyear.

Both my husband and I have been buying tires from Discount Tire for a long time. Very happy with their service, and with the tires for my truck (BFG All Terrain KO).

Thanks, Squatch. The dealer called me with info from the A.R.E. contact: they sell replacement gasket by the foot, $7.80 per foot, and the job requires 12 feet. That's almost $100 for some cheap thin foam that would have to be cut and spliced to form the radiused-corner rectangle. I can do...

My A.R.E. topper's fold-down front slider window incorporates a thin foam gasket attached to the topper. When the window is closed and latched shut, it compresses this foam to seal out water. The last time I tried to fold down the window, it was stuck shut. I waited until the truck had sat in a...

But dontcha know there are alternative facts!

The roads in Mesa Verde NP are paved, but they involve some long climbs. You must buy tickets for some of the cliff tours, in advance during the main season.

The Cottonwood Pass road was just a dirt road when I drove it a long time ago. Washboardy but perfectly passable by ordinary 2WD vehicles, all the way down to Taylor Park Reservoir. I rode my mountain bike over Tincup Pass. IIRC, that one was less suitable (maybe a bad idea) without high...

Instructions on driving in low range should be in your owner's manual. It is very easy to use. Black Canyon's South Rim campground would be better for a first visit, unless you are tent camping. North Rim's has fewer sites, and they are designed for tents and smaller vehicles. Also, because...

Ha, meant as a compliment. More to the purpose of the post, that they are not generally available as rentals. I think a place in Moab rents Wranglers, though that might be only for short periods locally.

Call the rental agency and ask them directly. They won't have old vehicles, unless you use Rent-A-Wreck. Old Jeeps and Humvees are like cult vehicles, anyway.

White Rim Trail requires a permit if you stay overnight, or at least it used to. One woman rode the entire 120 miles on her mtn bike, partly to avoid having to get the permit. I agree that 8 days is too little time for the loop the OP described, unless about ALL they do is drive and camp. It...

Thanks! This website combines several of my interests in a way I had not seen before, and I have already learned some useful things from perusing other threads. I like the Advocacy & Stewardship section and hope to again become more active along those lines, especially with what I am afraid is...

allanb, I am new to the forum. My husband and I moved out of our longtime home in CO to NW WA. The sea kayaking there is fantastic, but for a lot of reasons we ended up moving BACK to CO after only four years. We are very happy to be home again, this time in a different part of CO--which still...
