Must be. I can watch it on the forum but on YouTube mobile can't.

 

How's the water crossings on ardbeg. After some of those on Minden I'm really considering a snorkel

 

It's either the same what we had in Minden or less. You don't really need a snorkel, we are not living in Australia lol. Plus if you are that deep under the water your fuse box etc will also get water in them.
Check expedition overland guys, they did some deep river crossing without the snorkels. It's all about the driver

 

thanks.

Only reason I have the snorkel is peice of mind and dust. Don't expect to do any boating. Plus with 35's the intake is going to be exposed, so this is a way to do it. I could have routed the intake to the cowling but figured the snorkel was the tried and true method.

 

Any places south of gravenhurst?

 

@Joe23 I think we have the same tires and rims

Nice vids and pics boys

 

Konig six shooter? Goodyear duratracs?

Aren't you running 285 though?

 

Yes and yes. Currently running 265/70R17's but the lift goes on this week so I'll be looking to step up to a 285 from there.

 

Not really. There is 2 or three in Peterborough but that's a little south easy. Most of the trails are directly east of gravenhjrst. Check the map joe posted.

I'll post in of4 or ask at Southwind how the easy traisls are. Like if they're a 2 or what. If they're easy maybe we can plan a trip there.

I dunno what it cost though for non of4 members

 

Nice. I may end up needing to do the CMC since I'm not fond of the ko2s. I'm happy with the duratrac but they only make a 33 in a 285. Not 255. So if I go 33 might need to go that route. Or try a different tire. But I've enjoyed the on and off road performance of the duratrac.

 

Same issue I had when I was choosing the 255's. Not many options and they aren't cheap, or readily available like the 285 or 315 for that matter.

 

Yep. I may have to just do the CMC. Although I'm not overly fond of it. Maybe I can get a test fit. Who knows after lift I might not even need to.

 

Ok so posted and already got a reply. Said rays trails at Southwind are not rated accurately. Less likely for damage on Minden than the easy ones at Southwind. Maybe Peter, Eugene and myself and whoever else wants to go can check it out first?

 

There's supposed to be a trail in bobcaygen by 5 points that's much easier that we could check out for @Canadianguy91.

Guess it also depends on what armour he will get and what he'll accept. I left Minden with just scratches to armour, and scratch on wheels.

If you're not prepared for minor scuffs and scratches then maybe you should reconsider any trail that isn't just a dirt or gravel road with minor ruts. But any rock be prepared for this. Minden is a definite no without armour and breathers.

 

With 255's I didn't have to do the cmc. I am also running sway bars and I may not have the same articulation you may get with the fox shocks.

There are few 1 and 2 trails in Peterborough. We could possible do a day run where we try and hit all of them lol. Or we could camp out at a price of property we have just off the 115 around some of those trails. Few options.

 

I'm down.

I'll be home later I got some pictures of your rig that Dan posted on his Facebook I'll send you. Good shots.


I'd rather not do CMC but the duratracs don't come in a 255. And I'm happy with them so likely will get them again. I've gotta look into it what else I can do or just test fit. A few have posted they fit 285 with minimal rubbing

 

Nice I love photos. Lol. You can always try one of my tires on. Can always figure that out. I have a ful size spare you can slap on.

 

Ya only thing is my wheels are 0 offset. I might see about picking up a used one and mount to my spare

 

Only a 2.5 cm difference. I think mine are +25 offset. Gives you an idea. Plus the 255's are 1inch narrower than your 265's
