Yeah so finally got to push the ride through the Colorado paces last night. Blizzak 60 tires, LSD wavetrac, cold weather fuel sender mod, dynamic egr, leather velcro bottom rad vent block off and pipe insulation for the top rad, power/clutch mods, and heated seats. Oh, the vent visors are good too for stopping that heated clammy stuffiness.
Left Steamboat at midnight in a snow storm. Not too gnarly, but the first half hour up rabbit ears was almost white out in a few spots. Fourth gear 2000 rpm almost the whole way. I enjoyed the sweet squeak of fresh snow compacting under the fresh tracks being made. After the peak going down was just about easy. The road gets much straighter going to kremling. Fifth gear just under 55 made for great time.
Still didn't see another car going up to Johnson tunnel on I40. Passed a few semis and SUVs coming down into Denver. One of those little two door subies was the only car to get past me. The hardest part on the downhill involved dodging ice junks coming off semis. Took a few straight down the middle of the car. Skid plate thunk is a good time.
The three and four lane hwys in Denver had close to four inches of snow in spots.
Never had any problems in three and a half hours driving last night. Solidly planted the whole time! Thank you tdiclub for the quick safe journey to a new place that feels like home
