  1. I bought a Yakima rack & 'kayak stackers' for my wagon to haul my whitewater kayaks. Subaru OEM rack is basicly the same thing. I never had any trouble with them except that the bars do not extend out as far so there is not enough room for all the boats & it was a pain to tie teh boats down. yakima & thule are the two major roof rack manufacturers & they are both really just the same. I went with the cheapest setup - yakima.

  2. I've been on the beach North of Corolla, the paved road ends & you can just keep on driving after airing down. You can also drive down to the North side Carolina Beach or go down to Fort Fisher. They are charging to access the Fort Fisher area now :( . Either place is good fun, just watch out for the tides. Hatteras, Ocracoke, & Nags Head have beach access ramps, but you can't drive as far.

     

    I've heard some jeep guys go to Croatan NF, but don't know anything about it.

     

    Hopefully I'll have my CJ5 put back together and running soon so I can get back out there.

  3. better not count on me. now that school has started i have no money & have to work on saturdays. It would be nice to get out of the city though. That area is SOOOO nice!!

     

    I heard about an interest in going to Uwharrie on the Forester board. I'll call in sick to see that! But there is so much to do in the Pisgah NF. The last time i was headed up there in my Jeep for a 4x4 trip the motor blew up and my buddy broke his shock mount on his CJ7 on the trail.:(

  4. WhooHoo, more NC Subaru freaks!!!

     

    the goat, is there any off-road spots in the eastern part of the state???

     

    :cool:

    There are a few that I know a/b out east. There is Uwharrie NF that has lots of good trails to ride on. I haven't seen a subaru out there yet! When I was at NCSU there were a few trails we used to ride on. Is anybody up for a group ride?

  5. I am the proud owner of both an OB & a 73 CJ5. The best of both worlds. I got the OB and went off road with it, but nothing like the stuff I take the jeep trough. Ya subarus can go off road & do well, but I personally would like to have a jeep. The one thing I don't like a/b the jeep is how horribly it handles - they aren't as fun/safe as driving the OB. Nor does it have the room.

     

    Good Luck & Have fun!

  6. I went out on the sand at Carolina Beach/Fort Fisher in my 97 OB & was fine. Only problem is staying out of the ruts. A trip would be great, but I'm not sure if they are allowing beach driving now after the hurricane that went through. There are no "regs" exactly, just that the vehicle needs to have current vehicle registration, license tag, and the operators must have a valid driver's license.

     

    I know they are going to start charging to drive down at the Fort Fisher, but believe the other areas like Hatteras & Ocracoke are still free.

     

    There are a few good sites about driving out there, just search google.

     

    Here is a news article on the beach driving fee at Fort Fisher
