I did one similiar in height 2 weeks ago above Breckenridge at 13122 and my pacemaker was not at all happy with me.
Saturday we did Pikes Peak at 14100ish and at that point I was dizzy.

We thought we could see Pikes Peak from Mosquito pass. Hard to be sure.

I see you are in Littleton. I worked out there for Martin Marietta at their Waterton Plant, the one at the end of the road that passes in front of Roxborogh Park. We rented an original frontier ranch house on a 200 acre ranch on the back side of the park.

I used to drive a Dodge Ramcharger down the little dirt road that runs across the hogback ridge by the Red Rocks area and comes out right in front of the plant. We were so close to the first ridge that you could not see over it until you drove away from the house towards Denver, then you could see the entire mountain range, it was awesome.

Pikes Peak was visible from our front yard.

That is an awesome looking Bull Bar.

looks great! I have that same bull bar and was wondering what it would look like if I trimmed my bumper. I like it.

Those lower projections would concern me off-road. They look like they hang down pretty far. I would be leary of them hitting something unless they wrapped under and had skid plates tied in. Just a thought.
