October /November fun.

PNW playground.

 

This looks like my kind of group. Y'all ever down in the Vancouver/PDX area?

 

Yes. Two chaps from PDX.

 

Sweet! Replaced an aging Cayenne with a 130 First Edition last month, loved it so much, I just bought a 130 Trek and itching to go camping and play in the wilderness.

 

Yep, I'm one of the PDX guys (and the silver Deefer on 35's is the other!) -- we should get together!

 

Sounds like a good plan, I'm on the north side of the river.

 

beauty of a RR Autobiography

Lifted V8 300k plus on the odometer saved my bacon today. Amazing what a capable driver with skill and a softer rubber compound can do.

My KO2s at 16psi became as grippy as hockey pucks. Tremendously surprising.

20F or thereabouts. Got to trailhead for a hike. No problems.

Couldn’t get turned around at the trailhead and got myself royally fecked reversing to a flatter area and then sliding into a 2’ snow bank.

idiot.

lo range
14-16 psi
All diffs locked in configurable TR.
traction control off (insomuch as it’s possible to turn off)

about as much traction as the Kia I rescued 2 weeks ago.


no cure for stupid.

overall it’s been a fun week. Snow is a helluva mistress.

 

Traction boards are your friend in the snow.

A set of cheapo ones on Amazon run about $50 if I recall. I don't bother with the expensive maxtrax ones as I always break them. Might as well break a $50 board instead of a $350 board.

 

I left all my gear at home yesterday. MaxTrax, shovel, shackles, straps, compressor, family brain-cell. The lot.

 

Tahuya on Sunday morning for a little sloppy shenanigans.

Hopefully I get my super secret mod installed tomorrow.
