Hey, You Can’t Park There!

What started as a Labor Day wheeling trip through Colorado turned into the kind of trail story you don’t forget. Riley takes Jake through a trip that included camping near Silverton, wheeling Black Bear and Imogene Pass, exploring incredible historic mining structures along the way, and eventually a catastrophic front-end failure that left the 4Runner needing some serious trail-side improvisation.

The guys break down the missing bolts, the improvised repairs, finding help in Silverton, and the unlikely group of off-roaders who helped get the 4Runner back on all four wheels—and eventually home. They also talk trail preparedness, carrying the right tools and spare parts, and why even a well-built Toyota can leave you stranded.

It’s a story about broken parts, big mountains, old mining history, good friends, and the people who stop to help when things go sideways.

Because sometimes the best off-road stories start with, “Well… something just broke.”

With that being said, hope you guys enjoy this week’s episode, and we’ll catch you on the next one!
