    Portions of South trail are already closed off now.

    If people abuse it more will close.
    All depends on the locals as well.

    TMR are no longer holding King of the shield in Perry sound anymore because the cottage association there got it closed.

    Hopefully nothing more gets closed though.

    ^There's no benefit to running more caster than the factory ~3 degrees, just less tire clearance. I'm at 5 degrees with my non-adjustable All-Pro UCAs, because my front end isn't lifted very high. I rub on the fenderwell plastic with 32" tires on 0 offset wheels (but no rubbing with factory 30mm offset wheels).

    5 degrees of castor pushes my wheel forward getting it off of the firewall. Since my bumper is clearances this give me more room with 315’s. If your running stock stuff it doesn’t matter as you’ll run the front aposed to the rear.

    With my wheels at -38 offset and 3.5 backspacing I needed all the help to fit the 35’s. Based on what I have researched and personally seen the more castor the better (Don’t know if it’s negative or positive castor but pushing the wheel into the front fender

    I have too much wear on the inside of the tire so I'm guessing the Toe needs adjustment?

    ^That or too much negative camber. You can check camber with your phone attached to a straight edge pressed against your wheel rim.
    This is true for a stock setup that uses the LCA cams to adjust for caster, since more caster pushes the lower ball joint forward. Once the the LCA cams are maxed out, though, getting more caster from LR UCAs moves the upper ball joint toward the firewall.

    I went by the hydro line the other day, on Hwy #518, and they have cleared and widened the ROW there...… Maybe they are gonna "twin" the line..??

    Moving the upper ball joint towards the firewall would move the wheel forward no? Not to sure on all of this. I just know what my paper says and that I’m the 35’s thread it says as much castor as possible lol

    Sucks to suck....


    Light racing has more adjustability than the uniball. You do have more travel though.

    Although there is an adjustable total chaos UCA but they do not like our climate

    It's actually rated lower than ardbeg is lol
    But depending on the time of year can be worse. Last year was bad because it was so wet. This year it's been fine, lower than before.

    Other than the final water crossing at the end that if you don't know which way to go you'll swamp truck it's fine. It just seems like a never ending water crossing that goes around a bend.
