Shake down run complete last weekend! I enjoyed some time over at Haspin Acres in Indiana. You can’t get too far from help there, so it’s a good place to test things. It evolved into a full on off-road thrashing once the shakedown went so well. I can’t believe the stuff I climbed. The pictures posted today are the easy obstacles I hit. This weekend, I’m headed to SE Ohio with a couple club members to hit the unmaintained “roads”. Using the word road for these is really a misnomer. They are hardly recognizable as passible by anything other than serious off-road equipment in most cases. Should be fun. Will be a good test of my repairs….
It does seem to be a good balance of power, torque, traction and robustness. Love the lockers, they’re like cheating… I can spin all four wheels on decently solid dirt and not break anything, all while crawling right up over the obstacle at hand. We see how it holds up. I know I need to give my springs, steering, control arms and shocks some attention, but hopefully that can wait until later in the year.
