Any recommendations for Colorado? On I70 in Kansas.
Left West Palm 2p on Saturday went to Boone NC, to drop off furniture for son's apt. Then to Springfield Tennessee to pick out puppy, spent last night on Columbia MO, hell of a rain storm.

Sweet. We'll be heading out to Glenwood Springs Friday night. Pretty pumped about getting out of this 100F heat and into 70-80s! Where is your final destination?

Don't have one. Do you have any recommendations on parks that don't need reservations

The state parks in Colorado are pretty nice. Don't need reservations but they get pretty full on weekends. If you want to be close to Denver there is Cherry Creek or Chatfield.

I recently returned from a trip to Denver via I-70. I-70 is long and boring with a couple of one lane construction areas. If you like windmills, your in luck!
We stayed at Chatfield State park. As mentioned before it DOES get full on weekends. Has easy access to expressway to get around. Good luck and safe travels.

Yes especially with the truck's passing. We we're also in a high cross wind in Kansas and it was better, but still needs more like rear track bar. I will also add longer front links when I get a chance, but I wouldn't put off doing it because I didn't have them.

I did the CHF on our 2015 FR3 30DS and it drives way better in all conditions. It took me longer to get the rear done because like so many others the drivers side mount at the rear axle for the sway bar was not even attached. Both upper and lower bolts were missing along with the C clamp. Working with the dealer, Forest River and Ford on the matter, like any and all other issues with the FR3 each and every time just proves to be a waste of valuable time as neither will stand behind it. I ended up buying the parts my self and fixing it my self using grade 8 hard wear with nylon locking nuts. So with the repair to the rear sway bar and the CHF F&R it drives much better.

Drove I70 in western Utah few days ago and had cross wind's so strong that the slide cover was unfurling and snapping back. Also thought the door was going to get sucked open. I did slow down to 50 mph, but I was really glad I had done the CHF. The semi's were only going 50 mph and were leaning.

Which windows did you have tinted, and what percentage? Ive kind of kicked this idea around, but havent moved forward on it.

Also if you dont mind, what did it set you back?
