Spolar93 Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 (edited) ok, looks like someone had to nail down a date and location, so i did. i wanna run some good stuff, like mini rubicon but will run whatever i can. bring a rig in good working condition, and an open mind to body damage. i've never been down there put have heard enough pictures and stories to get me itching. hopefully someone will show up that can act as a guide, or atleast someone that has run it a few times. all experience levels and rigs are welcome to come, stock or built. lets get out and enjoy the weather! we'll probably meet at 8am at a meeting location to be determined closer to the date. dont forget your Oregon OHV permit!

88pathoffroad Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Hooray, you narrowed it down to the whole OHV area that's open to 4x4's! hehehe The other areas are all 4-wheeler and horse trails only. There are over 300 miles of trails in the BC area, AFAIK. Lemme get this bitch running again and we'll go have some fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiniRubi is halfway up Firebreak Five, IIRC. All that is is a bunch of rock laid out beside the main road so people can crawl on 'em. FB5 is a "Most Difficult" trail, it's real steep and has lots of rocks in the way you have to crawl around/over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Pickles Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 8/6, as in a Sunday? Might actually be able to make it to something, but a Sunday run 200 miles from home before a work day is sketchy. Burned all my vacation on wedding and honeymoon, before you ask. We'll see, half the family is in the Longview/Portland area, so... we'll see. Maybe the girls need a day to go shopping or planning or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spolar93 Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 hey man, thats cool dont bust your balls to come down, i understand. you usually free on the weekdays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87pathy Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 (edited) i'd love to come, i have been trying to find out where that place was, as i've never been. Then you guys talked about it and now i know. I've got family in the salem area, so i do come down on occation, one of these days we will come down and go wheeling Never free on the weekdays. I'm out of town (normally internaionaly, except this year has been an exception) 75% of the year oh ya, i heard that you once broke a ring and pinion in the front? I still have my entire front end, so if you need any parts (i know not all are interchangeable) let me know Edited July 14, 2006 by 87pathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spolar93 Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 yeah i did, last winter while i was driving up to the mountain. pinion seal just gave out, all the fluid leaked out and destruction ensued. fixed now, but i could always use a spare cv. too bad you have a pre 93 rig, or id snatch up your centerlink if it was good and your tie rod assemblies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 After watching a video of mini-Rubi I seem to remember that it's just part of Archer's Firebreak, and it's not marked on the map. The rock pile I was talking about is Rock Garden, in the middle of Firebreak 5. Crusher usually requires a winch, it's not just a trail, it's a loop off the top of FB 5 that goes down a steep-ass hill of solid 3-to-6 foot boulders and back up it. You won't believe the stuff some people can drive over, though. Crusher is usually real crowded with bigger rigs and there's no place to park, so you have to hike on in there if you want to watch. There's no way I could go through that, I can tell ya that much right now. Crusher Trails from the top: From mid-hill looking up(mid-trail, if you can call it that) From mid-hill looking down. Archer's Firebreak is mostly fun but there are some places where you can easily cave in the whole side of your rig against rocks if you're not careful. Andrew learned that lesson in his Land Cruiser, it came away with rock rash galore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbecktold Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Let's see some pics you guys. I just now saw this, and dunno how OK it would be to bring a HB, but I'd be really interested in running something over there closer to the fall (say, later September and before November). I need to plan plenty in advance though, as it's about 8 hours of driving or so for me. I know another HB guy who might be interested, and maybe extreme90path if he/we can get his Pathy sorted out before then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spolar93 Posted July 25, 2006 Author Share Posted July 25, 2006 yeah packie you should be fine. we'll be running moderate trails, and most of the hard stuff has bypasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spolar93 Posted July 25, 2006 Author Share Posted July 25, 2006 once we decide on the meeting point at near tsf, more than likely a gas station, i'll give you guys the address to mapquest. people going so far: Spolar93 Packie88 87pathy (maybe) anyone else? hope i dont wreck to hard, cause i gotta drive 6 hours on the 8th to move into my fraternity and hump girls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
