I was just surfing the internet and I began to think, I want to hear some stories about rovers kicking ass.

how does your RR do on the beach? ive wheeled my RR on mountainous trails... here in CA that typically means steep, loose dirt/rocky/sometimes muddy terrain...
but i havent wheeled on beach sand/dunes... there is a place down south... Pismo beach were you can wheel (ATV's, Motorcycles, dune buggies, and 4x4's) but with the RR being SOOOOO HEAVY ive been hesitant to take it out in the dunes.
what kind of tires do you run? what tire pressure do you run when driving the dunes?
ive seen pics from anohter chris who lives in the UAE... he looks like he does "okay" in the dunes...
whats your exp?
Well, this isn't really kicking ass, but I had fun... no sand, mostly rocks & dirt.Cliff said:I was just surfing the internet and I began to think, I want to hear some stories about rovers kicking ass.
do you have any GPS coordinates for this? I'm looking at my topos, and I think I know which trail you're talking about...Cliff said:You exit visa via an insane "driveway" for three houses, which the owners will problably greet you with stares from their balconies as dogs bark.
I want to do Jenny, there's a nice lake at the end of that 1, too.I'll be back in colorado in summer; I'd like to run "Jenny Creek" "China Wall" perhaps "chinamans gulch," or any others I find out about.
I think it might be fun to set up some trail runs followed with a trip to Wazee, Tommy Knockers, The Stanley Bar, or New Belgium brewing/Odells afterwards.

In my experience (duning in KSA, beaches in fla), you don't want to have mud terrains in sand. They are designed to dig down in mud to find traction, and will just bury you in the sand. You are better off with a less aggressive tread and low tire pressure to stay on top of the sand.p76rangie said:Tread pattern does not appear to be an issue on the beach, but trying to get up dunes can require a bit of throwing sand out the back and all terrains or mud terrains may be better.
i know but i like it, and im to lazy to take it off befor ofroudingRAGE ROVER said:Ahh snow, im jealous!Kancler said:latest winter offroud event, moust cars was almoust stock

The front bib spoiler (plastic bit under bumper) is removable, gives a better approach angle by the way
