    Ya know, it’s the same color, same car. Just no cool wheels/roof rack.

    I’m trying to convince him to mod his shit (or trade it in for a taco)but he’s not about that life lol

    Not yet, hopefully sometime this summer. From what I gather it's much easier than slickrock though.

    Its been a few years since I've been on the Sourgrass trail.
    It may have changed since then, but I recall that it was an
    easy, stock-friendly trail, good for beginners. Nothing like Slickrock.

    That is dope, reminds me of my buddy’s Nissan Pathfinder




    10/10 would recommend shooting some of ours before renting @FirstTimeFirstGen The money you would spend renting them all could almost pay for one. I recommended renting earlier b/c it’s a little more “here and now”, then again I guess you’re not in a big rush lol

    Edit: again best thing to do is to shoot them one after another, so you have something to compare too. Instead of one here and one there, where it will be harder to compare.

    If we could get a TW shoot-em-up trip that would be rad. I got a 100% firearm related trip at the end July, but trying to get everyone (specifically varying polymer handguns) up there together might be difficult.

    I have a friend who own similar color/model Subaru and he thinks this thing can go ANYWHERE because that's what sales man told him lol....so long story short, I took him to Pismo last year and he brought his Subaru and that thing didn't even make it to the camp site lol and the worst part was that there is no freaking way to turn off the traction control on these things.

    He did air down, but those tires are still skinny
    He did air down, but those stock tires don't have much rubber on them. He didn't know how to turn the traction off and we didn't think of pulling the abs fuse after I towed him to the campsite. It's freaking annoying not having traction control button in the cab...I mean how many people really go and pull the abs fuse?

    I mean, it's a general concensus that running ABS on dirt is a life threatening safety issue.

    Just drive east (more or less) until you find a spot.

    Yes, but what I was saying why not give user more freedom and let them choose what they want to do like majority of other cars?

    I’ll need to google more on the subys traction control system. My buddy was trying to keep up with me on some snowy/icy fireroads a few months ago and he said “he was all over the place”.

    Does the suby cut power to spinning wheels? Brake acuated LSD style things?! Google will tell me!

    Edit: google has told me, I may be wasting precious moments of your life with my postings, but at least my post count goes up slowly? Maybe by post 1000 I’ll start to have useful things to say :)
