Gravel in my rear

Oh and yeah gravel in the rear is better than sand in the vag***

Well, OK. It would scare me to see where you might try to go if you had a jeep -

This 1960 Willy CJ5 was properly built to go just about anywhere so that's exactly what I did. I saw some cool places and did a lap of the country in 1993/94.

Rwd+dirt roads is just a blast. I just wish this car was a 20 year old beater I could rally the shit out of lol. Our cars are well balanced, have an lsd, and suspension based off of an impreza. Seems like a recipe for gravel/dirt glory if you ask me.


Quick question about dirt/gravel hooning; are you more likely to pop a summer tire than a comparable all season or even winter/all terrain?

I can answer this one

and all tires that arent gravel specific have near the same ability to pop

now you can sort of delay it if you run a taller sidewall and deflate a bit. but at the end of the day gravel specific tires are reinforced on the inside and weight alot for that webbing

When I removed some panels to install the rear NUR spec rear spats, a bunch of gravel came out. I used to park in a gravel lot in my previous job, and my FR-S is at least 2 inches lower than stock. I've actually gotten stuck 3 times in that lot and had to be pulled out.

WOW! Good looking machine. Looks like you were outfitted to go almost anywhere -

(and if you got stuck - you could just ski out - )

i attempt to do all these things in my stock 4x4 ranger. with the added ground clearance of being a truck, it feels like it's that much bigger after driving the car.

I FEEL INVINCIBLE AGAINST YOUR PUNY LITTLE CAR! A HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

If it's not a dualie, they should only have one nut.

Rangers barely have enough grunt for a half-nut!
