We should get organized and get a trail run together in the next couple of weeks.

I was gonna post a trip today or tomorrow..lol. Hows the 22nd work for you?

 

Josh

I would be down but my motor is kinda toast.  Would be willing to ride along and shoot photos!

... my motor is kinda toast ...

 

That's Sad. What happened to your Subie's Motor?

Rally X on 11/22 so I'm out.

Blown headgasket.  Its bubbling lots of exhaust through the radiator.  Going to start piecing together the parts for an EJ swap.

Sorry to read about the blown Head Gasket...

 

But is Great to know that your Awesome Subie will be EJ Powered Soon!

 

Good Luck, Kind Regards.

Stock EA82, dual range, 6" lift, 29" big horns. Stock bumpers, stock skid plate, no winch, but have a tow strap and 60" hi lift jack. It runs good.

 

Why scott, what gnarly trails do you have in mind?

I've got a 1/2" thick piece of glass you can borrow if you want to fix the HG issue. It works well and allows you to start and finish a HG job in an afternoon

That works for me. I can make most Saturdays and sunday work.

I hadn't seen this was posted on here, but I went and made a run for the 29th the Saturday after Thanksgiving on the NWWO FB Page......

Right on. Sounds like a plan. So Saturday 11-29-14. That might give Nathaniel enough time to do head gaskets.

29th works great for me!

 

Josh

Bump

 

Who else wants to go wheelin?

 

November 29th

Meet at Joann fabric parking lot 9am

 

Conditions should be a lot of fun!

 

Josh

I have a replacement motor for temporary to drop in.  If I can get it swapped and sorted I will try and be there.

Take lots of pictures... I'll be out chasing elk.

Take lots of pictures...

 

Yes!

 

...and don't forget to share a bunch here

 

Kind Regards.

Good luck on your hunting trip!

 

There should be lots of good pictures and video from this trip. Between Nathaniel and my cousin Stan, who is riding with me, we've got two really good photographers. I also got my Gopro working right and I intend on putting the entire trip, or at least the good parts on youtube.

If she is coming I will personally drag my car down with a rope, motor or not.

What do you guys run for tire PSI? I am equipped with 29" maxxis big horns on 15" alloy Peugeot wheels. What would be a good PSI for driving down the highway, wheeling the trails, and driving home without having to mess with it?

I also have 29" Bighorns.  I usually run around 35.  I do a lot of highway miles to and from walker.  I never air down for the trails, I probably should but I'm lazy and don't have a good mobile air compressor.  I have never had any issues.

I dont wheel with these guys cause im in oregon but when i do need to air down i run about 20 psi without having a problem driving back . I am only about 20 miles from trials though

I run my tires at 28psi all the time and for me, it seems to be a good middle ground. I've aired down a few times for deep powdery snow, but these cars are so light that they just don't sink.

 

What would be best on your rig is something you need to figure out for yourself. Its based on things like vehicle weight, cargo, tires, terrain, conditions, and driving style. It takes some trail time to figure out, but if we get more trips going, it wont take long.
