    Wow just got back from a quick 24 trip. I LOVE the area. Perfect. The trails were just wide enough for me not to freak out about pinstripes. And the lake is beautiful. Thanks man!

    Glad you had fun. There is plenty of spots to scratch your ride up there, but also a lot of open dirt roards. After the water levels go down I can recommend some nice pinstripe routes.

    Pop that cherry man. Just go grab a bush and scrape it down the length of your truck. It's gonna happen. Keep your wax job fresh when you go offroading and the damage ain't so bad. Its that nail on chalkboards sound that everyone cringes at, every time.

    Why don't they make some temporary armor? Like cheap plastic film to cling on the body that you put on day of and take off after!?!?!?

    Uh... because vinyl is pricey lol. You could probably buy some cheap 3M wrap or something in rolls and just do it yourself before each offroad adventure, but you'll probably still spend a good hour putting it all over. My OCD wouldn't allow bubbles or I'd do it and I can barely do the clear protection screen on my phone.

    Maybe they do. You can order something called 'wraps' with logos on it. It is just layed on, and, I think, removable.
    Maybe they make clear ones.

    Frustrated. Last snow run arb compressor took a dump while filling tires. It just keeps running. Has to be a leak somewhere. Soap and water showed me bubbles at the pressure switch. Redid everything with Teflon tape. No dice. Got paste. No dice. No more time to work. I guess it's to the shop on Monday :annoyed:

    Edit- meant to post in the bs thread :oops:

    As far as I know Letts is that there's a fairly improved campground (paved drive, tables, rings etc) right at the entrance, maybe 20 sites or so, that's open year round. The other 40 or so sites around the lake open after Memorial Day. I camped up there a few times, and also check out Bear Creek campground, only 20-30 minutes down the road. There are some fun trails in that stretch too...

    It's open. It's "closed" only in the sense that they don't maintain it. I just drive in, paid fee, and had the whole place to myself. Heaven!

    Yes something like this only not as "professional", so to speak. Looks expensive. I just want that film and put it on myself, could care less if it looks crappy. I just peel off and throw away at end of trip.

    Could always try clear shelf liner as a temporary clear bra.

    My cousin used that on the front of his wrx for track days years ago. Not sure how we'll it would hold up against branches and what not but worth a shot. From what I remember, it was sticky enough to hold onto the paint but not strong enough to rip it off.
