Well, I have finally done it. Tonight I picked up my "new to me" DD. A 1995 Nissan Maxima with only 95K on it <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Now, the Troop can turn into a weekend only/trail rig <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> However, after meeting the tree in the rock garden again at Uwharrie I will come back next time with a new approach. A locker makes a huge difference! However, even though I love the BFG ATs that I have I think I may need a wider tire now.

dang, dude, did you hit that tree again???? Thats 2 times for me, and 2 times for you, each in the same location. Time for a chainsaw? -J <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> Oh, and before anybody freaks out, im just kidding, i would never cut down a tree to get it out of the way on a trail...i do tread lightly...most of the time <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

There is a lesson here: don't take the bypass  I can't count the number of people who have hit that tree and the tree that is right in the middle of the hard lines. That's the tree that I tagged with my roof rack, and the tree that Mark almost smooshed me at when he decided that faster was better on the right side rock. -Tad

Well, if that tree wasn't there I would hate to see what might happen to some of our rigs... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
But yeah I will not be taking that line again.

Well, Bansil has some interesting ideas! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Some Tera Lows and maybe some type of MT...not sure which kind though. Oh and my BL of course <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> I know Robby, I will make that line next time.

It must be nice living close to Bansil. He and I have come up with some really sick stuff, but being 5 hours away, it makes it kinda hard to put alot of that form into function. But just wait... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" />
