Walsenburg.... Walsenburg, NOBODY volentarily moves to Walsenburg! There is a lot of un tamed dirt out there though, perfect for a MINI like yours.

Now that you are somewhat close, if you are still looking to have somebody fab up some sliders, send me a PM.

Ah, I thought you moved to Co/Sprgs when you mentioned Pikes Peak.

The Pikes Peak Highway was a graded road and is all paved now. You'd have more fun testing it on Medano Pass. I seem to remember a lot of water crossings and a few rocks up top.

Am I the only one who looked at this MINI and immediately heard Jeff Foxworthy's voice in his head?

I've got a buddy who did. But he used to race motocross, so he may have knocked his noggin a few too many times.

Thank you very much.Here's a tip for you,go with all terrains instead of mud,you can get a much wider contact patch which will give it a much meaner look.The mud terrains I have just look too skinny.Oh and the reason you can go with a wider tire with the A/T's is because the muds have ***** on the side that rub on every freaking thing in the wheel well lol.

I was skeptical at first but the more I look at this, the more I like it. It has a certain rally car look to it.
