It’s by keystone.
Ok, thanks, found it on the Arapaho National Forest map. Been over Kenosha Pass many times but don't know there was a whistle stop called Webster on Hwy. 285. Must have been the namesake for Webster Pass.

Check out TrailsOffroad.com too. Great information and easy to find trails on it.

In the northern lower peninsula near Traverse City. Found a seasonal road that led into some serious (at least in my opinion) power line trails. First time off road on a vehicle that's not a 4 wheeler. Only aired down from 38 to 29psi, should have gone to 20. I'm very impressed my stock fx4 can do this. Next time I will see if I can bring a friend with another vehicle or look into traction boards, there was some moments where I figured I was not getting out. Without trail control I most likely would be stuck down there still. Really did not expect it to be so capable, especially with someone with almost no off-road experience behind the wheel.

Looks like fun. If you carry an air compressor, don't be afraid to take you tires down to 15 -18 psi. Makes for a wider footprint.

Right in my backyard too! Been a few weeks since I've been up there, but it's always gorgeous.

Yup. I'm looking to get a 12 volt compressor now, viair or something similar. Just trying to figure out what what duty cycle percentage I need to fill my tires without giving the compressor a break.

Many of the Jeep friends use a Viair 400; personally I have a Viair 300P and find it does a reasonable job on the Jeep. I have 32" tires and take them down to 15 psi when on rocky or rough roads. Not much sand in the Sierras.

Thanks! With the 300 can you fill all of them without giving the compressor some time to cool off?

I use this ARB compressor and it does a great job. I fill my 31.2" tires from 20psi to 35 psi in about 1.5-2 minutes per tire. It's quite quick and I don't give it a break at all. I run my tires at 40 psi for the street, but this gets me enough pressure to drive home on. I highly recommend this kit, even though it's a bit more costly than some.

I use the Viair 88p and have no issues getting my 32s from 15 to 37psi all at once. My buddy who has 37s on his Jeep also used to use it to go from ~7 to 35psi all at once before upgrading to an ARB twin.

I just picked up one of these and have used it a couple times now. It's absurdly fast and the quality is unexpectedly good for the price. It was barely even hot to the touch after filling all 4 of my tires.

Not to nitpick, but width doesn't change that much, the length of the footprint is the real advantage, and their ability to deform over rocks.

You're correct. I should have said "a larger footprint". Sorry.
