What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

[Inthewoods]

Fishcamp update. Storm came in and it was nice. Got down to 32 and i slept fine with no heater. I did a little video and not sure where to put it so I put here for now. This is my first video on my phone so it goes. Ok no video to big I guess. I tried to keep it short for that reason but here's pic.

Went to a forest with my kids to have a walk by the riverside, with a garbage bag and we cleaned every thing we found.

Took my RR (Named Pulaski) out to a fun mud puddle. Had a blast with some family members. He got pretty muddy. [emoji1303]

Went out up to Uncle Tom’s Cabin, here in Northern California. Met some nice OB peeps, and learned some new things about myself and my rig! [emoji4][emoji1365][emoji300]️[emoji268][emoji240] View attachment 84670View attachment 84671

Looks like I wasn't the only one out playing in the new snow. :) Good to see you guys getting your rigs filthy.


We played around in the Foresthill area.

Drove to work in it in a blizzard. Had to do a very short bit of off-roading from the freeway onto a parallel road to get around a 30 car pileup. Driving home ought to be interesting!

My fiance dreads driving in snow so now that we have enough on the ground to play with I took her out to a nearby trail to learn some basics.

The lighting was amazing. We had warm diffused sunlight hitting a small spot on the highway so I had to try and snap a shot.

Once at the trailhead I proceeded to get stuck in 2wd. I gave her the wheel and showed her how to listen for wheelspin so she doesn't dig a deep hole. Then to use the forward/reverse rocking method to use momentum to break free. She actually started to get unstuck but her mountain bike shred mentality kicked in and she kept spinning the tires and flingling dirty snow everywhere and smiling way too much. So to continue the teaching moment and NOT pull back onto the main road Dukes of Hazzard style I made her stop and put it in 4-Hi. She then pulled through easily and completed the uturn. She's like "ohh, that was easy. I thought we were in 4wd the whole time we were stuck." I love this woman. :)

We then hit the trail which was covered in 6" - 1' of icy snow. The narrowness of the trail combined with downslopes and a few off camber turns made for good learning experiences but I won't lie, the rear end wiggled around towards the canyon more than I prefered. Amazing how different snow can feel from day to day.

Once we got to the bottom of the canyon I took over so she could relax. We parked so Ellie could play in the snow and I took a few pictures before it got too dark and then we headed home. She did great! I also noticed that while climbing back up the other side of the canyon she was noticeably more relaxed than she would normally be with me driving on a snow-covered trail with a steep dropoff on the passenger side. :)

Pretty country. I expected it to be muddy this time of year. I need to get out there and explore someday.

Well done. Doesn't look like you took it easy on the little Vitara. :)

Finished up the under hood lighting rigged on a pressure switch. Should have done this before all the recent work under the hood.. haha

Some spots are, but higher elevations with good drainage are fairly dry.

Thank you! Yes. It can be a love hate relationship. Ours is often love. But hate always snicks in!

Happy wheeling!!
