I wasted no time in getting the new Jeep out on the trails. We took Saturday afternoon to explore the Rampart Range rd, coming down Mt. Herman rd to go home. We originally wanted to run Schubarth rd, but it was closed due to the Waldo Canyon Fire from this past summer.[singlepic id=217 w=320 h=240 float=right]
The Jeep did great, but is way different than the TJ. Its wider, the engine is not as “torquey” as the inline 6 was in the TJ, and the suspension is SO much softer.
The views were pretty nice, but nothing like the views from Sunday’s trip up Gold Camp rd. The views of Colorado Springs and the toll road on Pikes Peak were very impressive. This is a “must do” road when visitors come – its a well maintained road with off shoots if you want to do some more serious wheeling. Be sure and check out the pictures on the PHOTO page.[singlepic id=226 w=320 h=240 float=left]
