I love my 2002 Rubicon. Was thinking a ATV trail ride and camping vacation sounds like fun. I live in Missouri and was told bike would need to be jeted different for something like Colorado. I am mechanically inclined and was wondering how hard would be to get bike to run proper at different altitudes? Really don't want to buy newer bike that has fuel injection.

Turn the fuel screw in a bit when it starts to idle bad at elevation.
I've been into adventure/dual sport bikes forever, those guys deal with a lot of elevation changes.
The hot set up was a 2x2 sliding door like opening on the air box lid, you'd open it at elevation to give the motor more air and it would run good without touching the carb. You could also use 1 inch rubber electrical box plugs and pull them out when you think it needs more air.
If you put one of these on an atv make sure you dont dunk the air box under water, the air box lid is a few inches below the factory snorkel.
