[TracYJ]

That's Topless Trail...you pervs. We started out around 12 on Saturday the 5th. It took about 3.5 hours and we stopped for 30-45 mins. for lunch. We had 4 rigs and everyone made it through with no breakage. All in all, a great run. Check it out.....

Me...Up close and personal!

I've been to Montrose several times Wally, what's your problem??? :flipoff2:

Nice pics Tracy; Topless is a fun trail.

Yeah I am getting the itch.. Have all my horses in place and class will be over in a few more weeks. I would love TO GET OUT!!! Test out the new drive line.

Great pics Tracy. Montrose is a "peg your fun meter" place to go Jeepin'.

Does any body here remember Jeepin' "Topless" when the tree was still there, thus giving the trail it's name? I do. Did it twice and yes, the tree did remove the roll bar padding and sound bar from my cage.

During the Montrose Memorial Day Madness, 2001, Allen from M.O.R.E. actually drug his black XJ Cherokee through there, roof rack and all. Did major body damage.

10 feet past the tree on the waterfall,the front axle shaft broke and took out the ARB, so Allen stuffed the Klune V in low and took out the rear 8.8 axles & R&P.

We headed back to Rifle for parts, and went back in the next day to fix it. We put a R&P, both axle shafts in the F8.8, and jury-rigged the front for one-wheel drive, got it turned around and drove it back down the waterfall, and out the bottom. Took a full day to do all that.

Wow, us boys sure know how to have fun, on the trail!
