March 15, 201412 yr fun fact: 98 VW jetta is taller than a gen 1 brat,although the brat has far more ground clearance.It takes roughly a 3" lift to get a gen 1 brat as tall as a FWD Economy car...And I chose the brat as the basis for an offroader... i know that feeling
March 22, 201412 yr Author Any updates? It snowed here one time only. I live in the mountains at 3200 ft.! No snow. My studded tires are still on. My 27.7" Km2s are waiting for a set of steel wheels on thier way. It will be nice to save money and time next year when I do not need to swap tires. The mag 5 stars are now winter/street only. Wheeling last summer they were shaved a bit on some on rocks moving me toward the smarter steel option.
April 21, 201411 yr Author Found a mud hole today yet it was dry. I'm glad to now know its location. Looked around a bit.... lifted a wheel a few times on some new found trails. check that approach angle! Was a good short outing.

December 24, 201411 yr Author New clutch going in after Christmas! Im also going to: reseal the taillights install new brake pads turn rotors
January 24, 201511 yr Author I thought my clutch went out fast, 3 days of tightening the clutch cable and losing reverse.... I knew the original clutch was going to go soon yet did not think it would go so abruptly. I bought a new clutch and had my mechanic go to it. He found that the clutch was worn "almost to the red ribbon" and replaced it with the bearing. the fork had cracked and then progressively bent making the clutch inoperable... new fork installed. I took her on a snow boat float through the mountain back roads, you know to settle in the clutch a bit... I was pleased with the performance of the new clutch. Edited January 24, 201511 yr by tron
