    I can take you down a couple of blacks at Windrock that are easier than that till you get to the 8ft vertical rock ledge but the rest of the trail is fun. There is a ton of good ones all over the place there. You can take the main road up to a clearing to watch crazies go up 15. Most of the gnarly trails you can watch people from the "Green" gravel service roads. Some of the service roads can get a little fun too. If it's dry when we go we can easily get you through 16 which is a black even though their trails are labeled a certain color doesn't mean they are going to be extreme to the max.

    That's not the goal of any of this there is always winches and ropes when you/if you feel uncomfortable.

    Last time Matt was there, he said trail 22 seemed like a black. Apparently locked heeps on 37+ were having issues getting up the rocks at the end. It was really wet though

    I saw a starter rebuild kit for under $20. It has new contacts and everything you need to rebuild. Taking the starter off is the worst part.

    Trail 22 is pretty much impassable now, at least from the typical entrance. there's a huge section of washed away trail that'll just lean you right into a wall. You can't hug left either.

    It definitely doesn’t. I washed a ridiculous amount of mud out of my radiator when I had the fan shroud and fan off.

    my neglect to wash inside my engine bay regularly is probably what caused my front main seal and all of the idler pulleys to fail.

    The size of Windrock most likely makes it hard to grade the trails regularly.

    i will probably do the same from now on. You just leave it running while you do it? Cold water cracking hot engine components is a concern of mine.

    Idler pullies sound awful when they’re going out.
