    I have the full set of skids from the factory. I hate having to use them but it is comforting knowing they are there.

    Like Knappster, I have a similar book titled Colorado Byways. I think I saw similar books for sale in Silverton in a few stores. Fetch's has a good selection of books and trail stickers.

    My Fortera's had 27,000 miles. Two were leaking air. My third tire got punctured on Ophir Pass. Knappster and WanderingTS helped me do a quick fix on the trail. The next day I ran to Big-O in Durango and got a set of Cooper Discover LSX's. I didn't want an aggressive tread as my Jeep is my commuter car. I really wanted Michelin's but didn't want to lose another day waiting for them to come in. Although I am not familiar with the Cooper brand, I am pleased with their performance both on and off road.

    I used to have ATT and switched to Verizon because I got better reception in the mountains. We now have Verizon internet. My wife did internet work the entire trip up to Silverton without loosing a signal. Pretty amazing...

    Thanks for all the information...I'll be running stock Forteras with 39,700 miles on them. I don't want an agressive tire either. I decided to go for one more trip with the factory tires then switch to Cooper CTS this fall instead of the ATR's Did you puncture your tire on a rock? Were the others leaking as a result of trail damage/puncture?...I'm more interestered in scenery than I am challenging my Commander..Nice moderate trails with sock knocking views of the mountains. I'm old and changing a tire on the edge of a cliff doesn't sound like fun.

    Just a reminder if you haven't done so already. Check over your rigs for trail damage.

    My rear diff. cover was leaking really bad. I knew it got pulled a little, most likely on 'The Steps' as there was lots of contact underneath going down that part; but it didn't start leaking until yesterday. Gave me an opportunity to change out the lube.

    I finally uploaded all my pics. Here is the main album - each album in there is one day of the trip.

    How I wanted to go with you all this past Summer and was unable due to scheduling conflicts with the kids summer activities but I did make it up there this past weekend and stayed in Silverton in the cabins at your favorite Red Mountain camp grounds. Amy and Jim say hello to all the Commander Club and you Jon. So in looking at the photos from July, there was still a great amount of snow and lots of colorful flowers. Well in the Fall there was no snow to be found and of course the colors had changed to shades of gold, brown and dark green. Here is a couple non Commander pics:
