Is your Stroppe carbureted? If so, what jets are you running? Is it 2v?



There are only a couple of non-stock items on this truck, and EFI is one of them! I travel between my house in AZ, which is about 5,800 ft and the one in CO at 9,800 ft. And a lot of wheeling at 12,000 ft+. I gave up trying to run carbureted. It's a Mustang EFI and runs absolutely perfect at all altitudes.

It has been a while since I've been on here but great to jump back in and see such AWESOME pics! Great country but an even better rig. Your Stroppe looks real healthy!!

Thanks -- It's extremely healthy! When I bought it, I committed to making it worthy of a cross-country drive. I drove it from Prescott, AZ to Breckenridge, CO when we migrated for the summer. Had a couple of issues and ended up replacing the entire harness. It is absolutely running GREAT! I've got no issues wheeling it by myself in remote areas. I'm very much considering a Baja trip in it, traveling down the Sea of Cortez down to Cabo and back up the Pacific to San Diego. I feel that confident in it!

Awesome shots! We were out there last week, doing the trails up around Empire and Georgetown at Mile-Hi Jeep Club's All-4-Fun. Can't post those pics here because I was in "job mode" and had the Jeep with me, not the Bronco LOL...

I was out that direction a couple of weeks ago with a few ccb members. Most people think about S. CO (Ouray, Silverton, etc..) when wheeling CO, but there are some pretty nice places to wheel up North!

Yeah CO is beautiful all over. We hit a couple of 13,000' passes last week, Argentine and Santa Fe Peak. All-4-Fun moves around every year. I heard Leadville next year, then maybe back to Silverton the following year. Last year we were in Buena Vista, did Tincup Pass, Mount Antero, Chinaman Gulch and Carnage Canyon. It's one of my favorite events, even though the Bronco stays home.
