    dave: lol thanks. i do admit, after having the truck like this for the past couple days, i realized, this is not a truck i want to or would want to daily. im glad i got my xb. low to the ground, no climb, simplistic driving style, ease of parking, and best of all DISCREET. no rubber neck action with my xb, which is the way i like it...most of the time :).

    speaking of turning radius, i remember right before i purchased the xb, i took a yaris out for a test drive. the radius on that is razor, almost forklift type.

    ouch! roads pretty gnarly if you dont have the clearance. I remember seeing slammed out trucks out on the cliff, idk how they did it, but a few friends and we good to go. I havent been to the end of RR in a long time but I remember tearing up my old taco on the Panaewa side one night I was hunting inside there. I tried going to shipmans thru bottom of Kaloli before, yeah, didnt work out the best.


    Its been couple years since I went down Kaloli but when its not muddy and hauna, it's pretty much 2wd with clearance.

    speaking of railroad and puna side. i always wondered if railroad ave is actually connected? meaning could i take a truck and navigate my way from hpp to hilo? if not a truck, maybe a bike or quad? i always wondered what was beyond those rocks (panewa side).

    yeah, the railroad on panaewa side connected back in plantation days. If you go behind the bank on the new bypass, get rr on that side but it goes thru ag fields and jungle before it meets Kaloli. Could bike it I suppose, but that is private property.
