That would be awesome ! My bad for not reading the thread right, I missed the " co-" ...now I feel like a *********************..:-\ abit of a drive for me and no vac. time left....

I'm in it for the snow-wheelin...save the trees! Besides ya gotta have something to keep ya from sliding off into oblivion! lol...

Brucey, What did ya do to ur subie? $40 tools is all you need and hoist/friend to help . If I could drive there I would do it and then we could go wheelin'...but that's more brew$$$$ than you could afford. Try Nasioc.com (lot's of kewl folks there , put out an SOS 'save our subie' for help.)and stuff a WRX engine in there...watch the mud fly off those SSR's with boost!!! Pm me for any questions if ya need advice...I do this for a living... Good luck

Yeah baby! It was fun last year riding with Erik(silver 02 wrx wagon) . Although this year I will be there with my outback ....Let it snow! I was thinking maybe a xmas tree run at Mt.Hood would be kewl too...

Haven't ya been to "Hazzard county" yet...? nuff said..LOL!

I have run into some realy kewl Ford folks wheelin' ouside Estacada . This guy just got new MT's on a new '06 ranger 4x4. We hooked up and he was amazed I went everywhere he went except the deepest holes. They had a alot of respect for subaru's after that! I just moved to Newberg so that we be kewl to hookup and go wheelin' local, Mac isn't far at all. I hit TSF many times cleaning the "more difficult trails" I loved the look on quad riders faces when I was on the "hogsback" quad rider Quote: " It's a 76" maxiumum width!"

Like Andyjo..Lightforce striker rmdl 170's ...100watts of focusable power....of course I have some PIAA 520 fogs as well .... Speaking of beamers....this young punk kid with a 525 flashed his hi beams at me from behind after I passed him ...so I obliged slowed down let him pass and "beamed" him with this....Let's just say he had the daylight beaten out of him...bet he'll never flash an outback again....ROLMFA... also when ur brushing in thick stuff like this...or snow covers your headlamps.

here's pics of my antenna. a Cobra mag. with cell style ant. I can still open my hatch...too.. It's nice as it's only like 21" and brushing is not a factor..it stayed in place during a night run which I could hardly see thru w/ 100w overheads..that's thick stuff... As far as getting power I used the batt. hot circut of the 'trailer 'fuse on my outback by cutting a fork type connector on one end and sliding it in the socket.

Here's my car at the top of the powerlines "surveyors ridge" my grocery run at sunset(notice the overhead.. lookin' for spotted owls..brushing). I'm sure someone has a pic of me stuck in the mudpit.

here's one

The cruise was great to the show ....nice scenic views and fun terrain to check out...I had a great time! Here's a few pics!

Thx to all who gave their 110% to the show. I enjoyed it more than last years ... I put alot of effort in doing a trailrun and it turned out ok..& rather impromtu...months of hitting the trails and local areas went almost unnoticed...I spent hours printing up guidelines and getting maps together... I have yet to receive one thankyou....or that was kewl...I did my best to give folks who drove from afar to have a good time... I believe they did... So I understand the reason why some folks are trying to pass the torch...I tried to step up into some big shoes...! It takes alot of work and effort to put together a show! Teamwork & Sacrifice makes it work... Everyone needs to do just a little volunteering to make it happen. ' Cheers:D

Talk about last minute mods....Since, I've been venturing into logger territory....probably a good thing....hmmm. kenworth vs subaru ...ya know the outcome of that one.... I went cheap as fundage was low ...just bought a house...I purchased a Uniden 520XL cb 7watts. It's small and compact...I tested it out and works great...This trucker with a Connex was crankin' !!! My investment was $114 total for the cb/ant./swr meter. It should be adequate for what I do. I got a SWR meter and tuned the antenna(cobra 21" [cell phone style] mag. base. I ran my coax thru the top corner of the hatch crack and thru a small opening above the left rear tail light assembly grommet. turned out very stealthy. I thought about a 10M VHF radio, but then I need a license and more dough....someday.. here's a pic of my install.

Conditions would be "dusty" mostly gravel, dirt, ruts, small rocks "fist size" to "shotput" sized. If your really gentle and not a thrasher....should be a peice of cake..

I'll be there in a '03 outback brushed to hell...and a few boulder scratches!!! plus a bashed lower radiator support(stump), bent wheel.. Don't feel bad...we don't have WRX's.....but then it would look the same anyway.....lol!

I plan on having a cb radio by then...ch 5 is good also FRS radio ch 5 Score a Hoodriver county map (local stores should have them (free)and then explore over at Green point resivour or middle mtn.

SWeet!! I have been running into jeepers lately since all the soobs were away.... That hole is abit much for jeep with AT's and a cermic button disc clutch will always engage...

more teaser pics of a quad trail I found ....I got first tracks.... I found some fun stuff Sun. just SW of Green pt. Resivour....Thx to Scrap..for chkin some of it out...the bonus is you can go swimming if ya want...not much for a view of Hood abit smoggy...due to a wildfire in Hoodriver and the others still burning at Hood.... can ya taste it.... mmm...dirt...

So did ya forget about that big right turn to I-84 and a right on hwy 35 to Hoodriver...I have no idea why ya wanna go to the dalles...? hwy 26 to 35 is open now with restrictions
