April 14, 200916 yr hmm, long ways/lots of $$$ to have to tow back home if something breaks. http://www.timberridgeiowa.com/4WHEEL.html Edited April 14, 200916 yr by bheinen74
April 14, 200916 yr Author my first time there, I bought along tons of spare parts and tools "just in case" as I drove the Brat there.... I think the only think I busted was a turn signal, and had some paint scrapes from the "Castana Car Wash" trail that is lined with bushes.... most of which I think would've buffed out.... I had a LSD in it that trip, but went to the welded diff after that... One trip MorganM was there with his '88 wagon. He was open in the rear, and made for some intersting times getting the right lines that wouldn't lift up 1 front and 1 rear tire... and that was the first time I ever used my winch, was pulling him up a slippery bank next to a water hole.....
April 14, 200916 yr Definately without proper rig. How would you fair a stock jeep wrangler would do.
April 14, 200916 yr Author Definately without proper rig. How would you fair a stock jeep wrangler would do. Not too bad. there have been lots of stock jeeps there.... the Just Jeeps of Omaha Club usually has a number members at this event.
April 14, 200916 yr hmm/ maybe i need to borrow a welded diff to put in the rescue wagon. still long ways off.
April 14, 200916 yr I know my suby couldnt take it but my brother has a wrangler he left in my care while hes studying abroad.
April 14, 200916 yr hmm/ maybe i need to borrow a welded diff to put in the rescue wagon. still long ways off. Noooo thats what the brat is for. I thought that is why you lifted it in the first place.
May 12, 200916 yr Author here's the 2004 pictures.... http://www.ultimatesubaru.net/offroad/castana/Castana.html
July 27, 200916 yr bump for I ? may be in. I will just avoid / or park my rig for the nasty stuff which will harm my BRAT. Still thinking about this. It would be fun, but I don't want my Brat sitting there beat up, or broken down, so I would have to just do a little bit of it. Or, how would rescue wagon do if i put a welded diff in? okay, or not the right tires? at least that one i wouldnt lose out on damage really.
August 4, 200916 yr Author 11 days left for pre-registration savings.... Brent, I think a stock soob with a welded diff will still have issues with clearace....
August 4, 200916 yr Brents got a lifted brat he shouldnt have a problem. I still have mud under my car from june. I think what brent is saying mick is that he doesnt want his brat to end up looking like yours ) Edited August 4, 200916 yr by The Dude Abides
August 4, 200916 yr what about my 92ss legacy, put a welded rear in there, it might do okay. its getting replaced any day now, so it needs to be beat on.....i could care less as long as it makes it back home running, body is rusting apart.
August 4, 200916 yr Author what about my 92ss legacy, put a welded rear in there, it might do okay. its getting replaced any day now, so it needs to be beat on.....i could care less as long as it makes it back home running, body is rusting apart. actually, I believe we have a 2 speed transfer case as a requirement...
August 5, 200916 yr Author I'll make an honest effort to attend next year Mick. (But where will Indy ride?) there's some other club members he has ridden with and he liked to do so in the past, "because the BRat cou'n't do the hill climbs", or I made him cry trying to keep up with the other rigs
August 7, 200916 yr "Refunds: Refunds for pre-registrations will be granted until September 1, 2009 There are no rain dates for this event. No refunds will be made at the event. If it rains, the owner of Timber Ridge will not allow trail use." hope it doesnt rain....

September 22, 200916 yr Author Brat is pretty much ready now... picked up a spare PS belt too. lights are mounted. leaky roof is mostly fixed. recovery box mounted. Need to add my toolbag, and switch the spare with one of the current wheels/tires as the spare is better shape... still want to cover the back of the tail light so the connections don't get all caked with mud....
September 22, 200916 yr Author hmm i dont want dents or broken parts. you need to lift the rescue wagon, and beat the snot out of it....
September 22, 200916 yr No kidding, ive been telling him that but he wont listen to me. If the body is as rotten as you say then try to pickup a cheap lift and beat the snot out of that.
