Rooinater

where's the pics?...

where's the new pics?

so you finally taking the roo out again turbone?

just hit me up when you want to play. as long as it's more rough then a logging road i'll play.

i just might be heading through your neck of the woods in a few months. i'm going to start working on lil' roo again early january. then by april may time frame i was contemplating driving through salt lake to visit a friend and then idaho to visit another... keep in touch and if you have myspace, that's really the easiest way to keep tabs with what's going on or anything in general. http://www.myspace.com/forum i've been off of most all forums, i find too many extra mods, and not enough money right now. and i'm not back home yet... i can't participate in anything... that and i've been spending any extra time in the dunes or under my nissan... i have to rebuild her engine in january, along with install a new tcase in little roo, and at least a new rear main seal... oh and a hub... and of course other odds and ends... talk to you later man.

give me till febuary and i'll have lil' roo ready to play. can you keep up with my car is the question? 31's, dual tcases, 4:11 gears locked rear and lsd in the front...

jealousy! it's in the 80's here...

sometime during it. at the moment i'm focusing on getting my nissan and lil' roo up and going to drive them back to washington. i only have about 7 months till i move the first load of my stuff back to washington. so lil' roo is coming back first, loaded with my stuff. then i need to load the truck up and head to washington early july. then i'm back for good. how far i can get on the yota, depends on cash flow, and insurance money for all my dive gear, tools and other stuff that got stolen while i was gone. i got the dual tcases, twin stick, waggy 5 springs, 1/4 ellip rear springs, tires and rims, and the front locker. a few other things here and there. i'm looking into see if a friend of the family will help be do a 1/4 ellip and triangulated 4 link for the rear. if the truck ain't ready i'll still be able to take lil' roo out and take it easy. i want the yota done right before i start beating hard on her.

sitting in washington. i still haven't even made it back there. but i'm out in 7 months and a few days. to start wrenching on it. i'm waiting on time and money. some important things came up, which took the money for the gears. so i'm hoping that i get money from the insurance company for at least a portion of the stuff that got stolen from me.

or more of a note, my email got changed/ locked out. so i lost the contact information to the company that was hosting the site. it's lost and gone. sad, day but i just found out tomorrow it's down. and before i could set it back up. so forever lost, till i make a new one.

dumb question... but how the hell did you roll in tahyua??? i rolled on the v-notch in reiter... but tahuya... watch your speed on a road... not much real wheeling out there in anything bigger than a quad.

sweet pics! how i miss that place! what mods you got planned?

yeah, the campground is always closed. the roads and stuff were open though? haven't been on snort recently, which is probably where i saw the article about them trying to close down up to 50 miles of trails in the naches basin area... it was that or the ttora forum...

http://www.reitertrailwatch.org/ as most know, reiter is not a sactioned orv park and they've been trying to make it one... anyways here's info on the area and legislation.

another thing off the nw-wheelers board. no reservation, no camping. it's a requirement. http://www.nw-wheelers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2198

this is from the nw-wheelers.com/forum. some more news and proposed things for evans creek. if you aren't or don't want to be a member here's the quote from the first post. i'd suggest becomeing a member, just for the fact that a lot of trail legislation comes across there.

happy birthday to both of you! and take plenty of pictures.

as soon as the truck is lifted and legal... lol... figure this fall after the reiter run, no set date, i'm in japan... then deciding when to come home after i get to the states... lol... most subaru's are border line or illegal... but i would think it'd be a more of the what the f'...

you can play all day without driving the roads up there. literally. start at the parking lot, run 311 upto the camp, cross the road to 520 and you can go to almost every trail in the park and loop back... need to go back there someday, after the truck is street legal...

looks nice, i'd say opt for the swampers.

not sure, in an article in fourwheeler last year, it had the listings for about every state. i'll see if i can find it. i know for the gvw of my subaru, it's on the border if not over. http://www1.leg.wa.gov/documents/wsr/1998/04/98-04-052.htm really good reading for building or lifting... found this site with some info about bumper heights and other stuff with modifying, ie vehicle requirements.

i don't know how many of you frequent other forums. but here is some info on evans creek. supposedly they will be doing vehicle inspections, and ticket non street legal rigs going into evans. i.e. bumper height, fender flares.... on down the line. http://www.nw-wheelers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=871

sweet! always loved how the sedans looked lifted. wish we saw more of them!

it comes in handy from time to time. especially in technical sections like rocks. ain't going to help as much on a steep muddy climb. more in the department of finesse and needing the extra foot.

off and on. a lot of the time it just chills there anymore. but like i was saying especially on steep climbs or any technical obstical on a hill, where braking and clutching is needed... it's extremely useful. it's more of a luxury than a definate need. but used properly it can be very helpful and save some headaches. i use it very little since i got the lower gearing. it's also effective with my doble t's for keeping a crawl pace on the trail. definately something you don't use everyday. upgrade to it and see how you like it. i love mine, and like i said, i love it enough i'm putting it in my new project rig!
