    It was a 2012. Wife talked me into a truck (Tundra), but I missed my 4Runner.

    Ft Collins is a great area. Close to Denver and close to Mountains and trails. Growing up there, my parents took us kids to the mountains every chance they got (it was cheap for a large family). I think I’ve been over every mountain road in Colorado at least once or twice over 50+ years. I love Colorado and the Mountains, just don’t care to live there anymore (too many people have moved there and it’s become just like California with the traffic).

    I’ve been reading old posts regarding mods. The posts for RCI skids was excellent and has me preparing to order those. Also, appreciate posts regarding spods, LED’s, winch and mount, and the roof rack. All of you have helped me a great deal in deciding what mods to do, when to do them, etc. Great information and fantastic pics. THANK YOU. You all have been a godsend. Really giving me direction on my build. I’m also hoping to find some of you up here in Alaska who would like to go over landing together - remember, you shouldn’t go alone!

    I agree... the amount of people here now has congested the town to the point it doesn't matter what time of day... traffic sucks..! and then don't get me started on housing... but damn... I do love living right in the foothills of the Rock Mountains :rasta::mudding:

    I envy you living in the foothills. I don’t envy your traffic or high cost of housing. Alaska used to be quite expensive, and can still be, but no match for the rising costs in Colorado.

    Funny, I’m from Northglenn, CO and now I’m in Anchorage. Just renting a newly built place off Muldoon near JBER.
