I agree with every post in this thread! It must be a new era or something!![]()
I rode around in a 90 years ago on a mountain trail in Colorado - Mt Blanca. Every time I see a D90 I think of that trip... The Colorado Christian 4-wheelers of Colorado Springs took out 8 rigs including the D90. After getting all the way to the lake at the end of the trail you have to turn around and leave the same way you got there. After ripping thru a sidewall on a BFG MT, I broke an axle on one of the Jeeps at a cliff edge (Jaws 2) and quickly ran out of daylight. Spring water was crossing the trail at a difficult obstacle and made things precarious enough that we had to secure the Jeep over night by wrapping it's winch line around a tree (with a tree strap) and back to the Jeep. My dad and I had left all the camping supplies at camp... dur. We caught a ride in the D90 which had bypassed the obstacle and we slept overnight in an abandoned cabin with no roof, which was actually fun. I remember noting how smooth the D90 rode over all the boulders and rocks. The next morning, we had to hike up to the Jeep where there was a muddy mess all around the Jeep and we started stacking rocks to get out of there. I forgot I had depressed the parking brake and started reversing... this blew apart a wheel cylinder in a rear drum so we had to crimp the brake line. We finally made it off the mountain, but every rig, no matter what brand, broke during that trip. One rig had to stay the weekend. The D90 broke a shock mount and I think dropped a spring. My Jeep and one other were the only rigs that even made it to the lake. There is my D90 story, so there, it's not a t-jack!![]()
