I took that same picture last summer in my jeep.
Can't wait to do it next summer in the 4Runner!

This is still my favorite shot of the Harper7 rig.
Fawk!!!! That picture makes my stomach flip. I would not have the balls for that one.

The pics make it look worse than it is. That section of Black Bear has *just* enough of an angle of descent to fool your eye and the camera.
That's not to say I didn't get out and scout it first ;-).

Is that Silverton in the background? Edit:// I just read Black Bear. I'll Google Maps it.![]()

My EYES made it look worse than it is! Scared the cr@p out of me - that's why I drove it twice that year (FJ Summit #7) and once the next year (FJ Summit #8) and plan to do it again this year. Gotta overcome the fear.
Technically, Black Bear Bass is no harder than any of the other trails in the Silverton/Ouray/Telluride area. It's the visual that the photo shows that makes it so different!

When you come to drive Black Bear pls contact me. I'd love to do it yet again with another 4R.
So upon dealing with the dealership some today I was informed something interesting. Apparently the car had been "semi bought" for about a week by a friend of Gary's and was then brought back. Sooo I'm curious if it was anyone that is known here and perhaps why it was taken and then brought back. Was there a swapping of parts that might not be noticed or an issue that was found? Still trying to get a hold of the po, anyone have contact info they could pm me? Thanks again in advance :doh:
What happened to Harper7? I always found his posts to be informative and very useful. Looks like last post he made was back in July 2015 here on T4R.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say he sold his 4runner. :gossip:
haha, j/k. By now he's probably got the nicest Rubicon on the Jeep forum or something. To the OP, you scored. That truck was built right.
I live in Montrose, CO. It's only about 45 minutes from me...
