I spent most of a week in Buena Vista and had a blast. Like usual, I spent more time working on rigs than riding trails, but that is part of the fun for me. I stopped by the BN booth a couple of times (thanks for dinner!) and did a couple of quick walk-throughs of the vendors and vehicles. I drove my 67 part of the way Chinaman Gulch to some photos of one of the trail rides, started Mosquito Pass as tailgunner (but ended up towing another Bronco out). Helped diagnose and swap out a couple of fuel pumps and just generally hung out with my friends. Need to meet more of you guys! Here is some of the action from BV last week:

The RTI ramp at the fairgrounds was a hit

After hitting the ramp earlier in the day, Blake took his sway bars off to illustrate the difference they can make. A set of lockers and he would have been up even higher!

Blake made it there after experiencing a fuel pump failure at the start of Mosquito Pass. A road trip to Leadville to pick up a pump and a tow to the campground
and he was good as new. If there was ever a place to experience a no-start, the trail head is a good place!

Fuel pump failures were a thing. We had 3 that I know of on the same day.

Kris and Moriah got hitched on the trail and then created chaos during the blindfolded barrel racing! He will be bringing some new barrels next year LOL!

All the generations were represented at Super Cel!

Ken found a antique bicycle in case his fuel pump died

Brothers Ryan and Scott had both a 95 and 79 Broncos on the trail. Here is the 79 coming down from St Elmo. Their 95 had a fuel pump failure as well!

Super bummed I can't remember this family's names. I will edit it. They were great to be on the trail with!

My 67 didn't have any issues luckily. I even got my daughter to go on one ride with me!

Great pictures! Dang, that is some articulation.:oops:
Sounds like a great time. Not sure if I'll make it out there next year or not. Still have to figure out if I want to wait for the Mod top or not.

Funny you mention fuel pump issues. I had my son in law bring over his '67 Chrysler Newport over Saturday morning to try and figure out where it was leaking fuel. Turns out the fuel pump was blowing gas out the side. Sounds like you had more luck finding a fuel pump than we did as it is still sitting in my garage. We are hoping the new fuel pump comes in today.

Thanks for sharing your stories!

Super cell west was the last stop on our 2 week adventure out west.
I don’t have a ton of pictures from the even. Spent most of the time on the trail. But it was great time and recommend it to anyone that can go.

Looks like you were on Chinaman. Which rig is yours? I grabbed a bunch of shots on my camera and drone. I can send you some.

Yes. I had the grey 67 sitting up on the trail as well. Did you have the 1st Gen or the 5th Gen? Two white ones on the trail.

Big thanks to @The Bronze for the help with the fuel pump replacement. I had a blast hanging out with you all week.

Unfortunately, this happened on the way home:

Fan came right off the shaft and put a hole in the radiator.

Here's a shot from Mosquito Pass:

That had to have made a racket coming apart!

You would think so, but it was actually not, just a small pop. When it happened I barely heard it, and thought it was strange but not alarming. Then I noticed I had no power steering and the temp guage started creeping up...

Wow same thing happened on my 75 Mustang. The water pump broke and the fan took out 2 of the 4 cores on my radiator. I was revving the motor when it let loose. Oh to be young and dumb again.
