Denver-Sourced San Diego LC250

[supraphonic]

Hi folks! I flew to Denver on Wednesday, took delivery of my UN-spec Land Cruiser on Thursday, and just spent the last two and a half days taking the most direct route home to San Diego.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the new LC! Looks like a fun trip home! Great way to break it in.

How did it handle Imogene? I live in Denver and have been debating going to the San Juans with the car next month. My only concern about that pass is the ground clearance until a suspension lift shows up.

No real issues, it was a blast. Since I was westbound I did it Ouray to Telluride, and without the Camp Bird bypass the toughest thing I ran into was a bit of a gatekeeper at the start of the trail really pushing the approach and departure angles and it took me a couple minutes to find the best line. I also made light contact with the skid plate trying to find a neat way to park on a rocky outcropping closer to the top for a photo, but that wasn't really part of the trail. Fully stock apart from upgrading the stock 1958 fuel economy special tires for 275/70R18 KO3s, so probably working with ~9 inches of ground clearance instead of 8.
