MorganM came down for the TImber Ridge Trail Ride. 31 rigs. 2 subarus.

 

it was awesome. my weber performed great. plenty of power, and the welded rear was great. no breakage, but a little bit 'o body damage.

Cool! Those trails look like a lot of fun to bomb around on. Wicked flex MorganM :-p

Looks like the body damage was minimal.

Good to see the Griz out gettin some dirt on it. How many rigs went? Did you catch any video?

 

So is the locker all I made it out to be?

there were 31 rigs total. 2 of them were soobies

yeah, body damage was minimal.

 

all the rigs were spread out in different groups. Morgan and I had our own group

 

yes, the welded rear was awesome. and power wise, I was prefect except for a couple times where it sputtered because I had the snorkel on, and I couldn't get enough air, but it didn't die, and I still had enough power to get to the top.

 

the steps area (three stage) has 4 risers. from the bottom, they are 27 deg, 25 deg, 30 deg, 27 deg.

 

I forgot to turn my fans off the first time through one of the bigger mud holes, and I blew a fuse. replaced it and off we went...

 

spent $19.50 at the power car wash getting all the mud off

Yeah we tore it up out there. Only had one hill I had to try twice and only had to use the winch once to get me out of a mudy spot. Next step methinks are mud terrains and a locked rear end. Those allterrains just turn into slicks with any mud. Open diffs faild me in two spots; had to have McBrat and my friend Andy help spot me through some better lines... just gotta work it a little different with no locker :cool:

 

Glad I went even tho I spent way too much money and it was a 6 hour drive one way :drunk:Wife says I can't buy anything for the Subaru for a long time... we'll see about that
