jeeping in the clouds
i took the rubicon into what i consider high altitude (10,979 feet) today and
was really pleased with its performance all the way around (handling, pulling
grades, etc.). i know there are higher places, but after spending over 30
years at 85 feet elevation this was a pretty big deal to me. see

Re: jeeping in the clouds
Awsome. Last summer, I took my stock Rubi up over 13k feet in the San
Juan mtns in CO. This year it's lifted and I'll be back there next week.

Re: jeeping in the clouds
Sounds like fun. Maybe I'll pass you on the road. I need to head down to
Durango sometime this week or next.
I NEED to do some camping......
Glad you're enjoying life at high altitude nate, now you'll probably spend
all your free time elk hunting and fishing, instead of surfing. If you ever
get down into CO you'll have to look me up. Seems like newer vehicles do
fine up here even when coming from sea-level. I remember vacationing out
here from WI as a kid, and my parents wagoneer, and dodge diplomat always
had vapor locking problems when we got up high.
