Put this fun one together after we hit the highest mountain pass in Colorado in our Rex! As far as we know, we're the 1st to do it! Someone let us know if that's not the case!

Technically I've been higher in my hydro 
but I didn't have to offroad it. Mad props for pushing your truck to the limit and sharing it with us. Keep up the good work my man

haha i had 2 on the FB group already hit me with 14k+ feet! BUTTT, they're on pavement so I'm glad we still got the highest mountain pass so farTechnically I've been higher in my hydro
Appreciate the vote of confidence brotha. There are SO MANY haters out there. I dont think they'd have a positive comment even if we decided to go WOT off the side of the peak and pull a parachute big enough to float the truck down to safety. They'd still have some nonsense to whine about! Wont let em get us down!
Another excellent video Brother!!! Our kids enjoyed seeing the snow (same wonderment during our Phoenix->Vail summer trips), while my wife asked "ok, that 'Shelf Road' seems more like it along with cooler weather (still a little pissed about our Hell's Revenge/Moab outing months ago 
You did a great job providing perspective of the surrounding area and scale intermixed with your TRX gently cruising on up....listening to the Hellcat just purr along. We are (fortunately) a little numb to lesser mountain passes/SW off-roading... and can't imagine your geography shock being in Colorado while residing in Florida. It's staggering navigating rough roads and challenging passes only to realize the massive efforts made by those in the early Mining industry (not to mention the risks once operational) <- no wonder Opium Dens were as common as Brothels, Saloons and Post Offices!
Very interested in your other trips and any highlights during the FL->CO->FL transit!... including the story behind the TFL Now video.
Thoughts/family discussion re: future trips? We'd seriously/gladly host y'all here in Phoenix as a 'Base Camp' (Overland West/Monument Valley/White Rim Trail (100 miles/Utah), etc. Drop ship a pallet of gear too.
For the haters: perhaps you can A.I. your TRX footage into this DJI footage climbing up Everest
for props/
drop' have the infamous navigation aid 'Green Boots' strapped to the topper.

Hell yea man, thanks! Nothing like a kid's reaction when they see snow (even fake snow at that!) Let's see what your wife says when we put the Red Cone video/saga together haha. THAT is one heck of a trail! And scary AF when you reach the summit. The geography shock is real for sure. One member of our group (who has been to Moab and Ouray-Imogene/Ophir/Engineer/etc) offered to pay us $1000 to drive his jeep down the initial descent from the peak of red cone (30+ degrees). We barely convinced him to do it himself!Another excellent video Brother!!!

We've got a few more videos coming from this trip including Red Cone (the highlight), Blair Mountain (2nd favorite), Transfer trail (not much footage on this one but very cool trail) + possibly Red & white mountain (very little footage on this one too) + our campsite setup. We hit 2 other little Jeep B.OH trails on the way there and back but both were at like 11pm+ at night so 0 footage unfortunately. I think that's all we've got if memory serves.
We tried to narrate a bit on the Mosquito pass to fill in the gaps and kinda talk about what was going on in the truck. Figured it would be better than just free license-less music the entire time lol. Glad you guys found it enjoyable!
TFL is a bunch of little bitches! We were supposed to do Red cone together on our last day (or another mountain pass) but they had to fly out to do some video out of town. Prolly a good thing though as we blew our spare tire on the 2nd to last day on a bunny hill (trail) lol. Found a bunch of wild sheep off the trail and took my eyes off this root/boulder concoction and ka-boom. Truck thought i was in a crash haha! Some CEL with 2 cars and a star in between them went on my dash! I could fit my entire hand in my tire sidewall
Would love to head out there again one day and definitely appreciate the invite! Might have to take you up on that my man! I'd love to do Ouray (imogene/Black bear/etc) + Moab + maybe even dip our toe on the Rubicon trail if we ever make it out there again. Only caveat is you'd have to do it with me (in your REX - no cheating with another rental haha)

This is 100% correct. The TRX community has to be the worst car community I have ever participated in. So many negative Nancy’s most that don’t even own the truck. Left the Facebook group started by Ariel a long time ago.
OP
OP
I think the Raptor community is worse though. I posted twice in the TRX vs. Raptor FB page and literally they are like 8th grade bullies lol. Back to who's smoking meat and sucking wet concrete though a hose haha. Then they started roasting each other's comments like forget the video, that comment sucked worse. Shark tank of brainless zombie idiots with nothing but time and freshly charged keyboards haha

So dope dude, I've been knocking out a lot of CO trails would love to link up with some other CO TRX owners that actually get their rigs dirty!!!

Hell yea man! Take some pics & vids so the rest of us can salivate over it! If we ever get out there again, i'll definitely make a big post here and on our YT channel community page so we can hopefully recruit at least 1-2 more. It seems there are a couple that would be down!

So I did get a little dizzy on the 1st day but i had been taking a few packets of some altitude powder (not sure it did anythign) but i got used to the elevation pretty quick thankfully. It was not fun trying to wheel while being light-headed/dizzy!I'm a bit surprised you didn't get a taste of altitude sickness, but glad you did not
