Good point Fishincrzy on the force that pedals and crank arms take.

Road: While I don't have direct experience with the quick release, EBR forum members seem to use these in addition to MKS . https://www.lixada.com/p-y6994.html Actually thanks for bringing this forth. I have a folder that these would work on better than the Wellgo fold away ones that I...

I wouldn't part with my 04 TJ for the world - so a TJ would be my vote. Be careful of frame rust. Look for a west coast one. But TJ's are holding their value. A good one is going to cost a lot more than 5-8K. Here's a great forum centered on TJ's only - Jeep Wrangler TJ Forum . Or CJ's if...

FYI Plasmajab, in the 225/60/17 size there are basically only two "mild" A/T tires: 1. The GO15's that Lunch Box refers to. 2. Continental TerrainContacts Both get good reviews, with the TerrainContacts a little better. The GO15's are snowflake rated, the Conti 's are not yet. When I say...

Same experience.

Thanks Mogwai and Anchor Mtr. I figured that would be the case. While it's already got its share of front scrapes, the crappy approach angle and no low range is a deal breaker. Great in sand and snow, but not much of rock crawler. I leave that up to my Jeep TJ. Thx again.

Love the Needles District plus Capitol Reef NP - some of my favorite places in the world that I've been to. I try to get down there at least once a year - could spend weeks hiking/backpacking the Needles. I take my somewhat moded Subaru Crosstrek (skids, KO2's, a little lift). I'd take my...

TJ guy here. Rancho's. Good info on shocks on http://wranglertjforum.com that might help you.

Nice Plaidcadillac. Is that a Flat4x4 rear bumper?

Thanks FJTim for the update. I'm doing a modified rt 3 next week starting at and going down 21 from Oakridge to the Summit Lake area and then south on 2154 and 700. I'll be sure to check in at the Oakridge NFS station prior. That area always seems to get winds and thus fallen trees plus there...

Yes, I would prefer both on Apple. But presently I'm using a iPad 3 (IOS9) which Gaia supports but Avenza doesn't (they're 10). I could use both on the Android 6 tablet I have, but prefer Apple, especially the devices. I probably will break down and upgrade to a newer Apple tablet, but I'm...

UPDATE: Recently I have had "dealings" with both GAIA and Avenza. I have to say that BOTH are great in their customer service. And I mean great - Nathan (GAIA) and Rebecca (Avenza) have been so patient with me. I use Apple for GAIA and Android for Avenza. I also agree with both 1Louder...

As far as a Jeep TJ. TJ - OR/WA Subaru Crosstrek - rest of the country plus softer OR/WA trails.

Part of route 3 of the Oregon Back Country Discovery Route is just west of Crater Lake. Runs north and south. You'd have to buy the map from OBCDR. Or just get some MVUM's (paper from a NFS location or on the Avenza app) and wing it. It's mostly national forest in that area.

Thanks Captain Chaos for the link. A good informational tool.

I use it the same as 1Louder. MVUM maps only. GAIA for everything else. Avenza - available IOS and Google - requires 10 for IOS and 5 Android.

Should be the perfect time. Wildflowers will be abundant in some of the areas And probably no mosquitos. Now you got me wanting do another route (:. BTW - outside of log trucks, during the week you will literally see no one on most of these routes.

I ran #6 a couple of weeks ago from the Loon Lake area to Coos Bay. It was fine. Mapped it on GAIA which was perfect. And yes in the Coast Range it is a maze of roads (BLM, NFS, state forest and private) - I've been lost many a time, dodging log trucks during the week and ATV's on the...

No WaWa I have not reached out to them yet - but I will. And I agree on your insight on the "holes" in the front. But I do like that he is testing it on his own rig before bringing it out. The issues I have with the Crosstrek (all Subies) is: 1. No low range - The EU had this option up to...
