Sorry for the delay in response; been on a family-visitation roadtrip to South Carolina. My G3 sits approx 8" off the roof (roof to top of top bar). It is approx 34" bar to bar across the truck from passenger to driver, and I mounted the G3 rack bars approx 30" apart front to back. Hope that...
Thanks, Andy. Family situation permitted me to take off - so I did; quickly. Had an amazing time. The truck performed flawlesly and I got lots of first-hand mountain trail experience. Still would like to get together - possibly next summer?
It was fine on the open road. I fabbed up that black air-dam you see on my roof rack it it quieted down the wind noise by more than half - closer to 2/3s. Didn't really notice the higher center of gravity around the mountain trails. My Ranger was a champ on those roads.
Haha, you lucky dog. The Ranger handled off-camber rock obstacles, tight switchbacks, and steep rocky slopes with ease. I was amazed at how nimble she was. Good job on the 'real-world' testing. It paid off in spades.
You won't regret it, VoodooRanger. Maybe we can get a few more guys and convoy out there. I still want to run Imogene Pass and Yankee Boy Basin. Let me know.
Some pics from the Alpine Loop, Cinnamon Pass summit and Animas Forks: Never saw Quaking Aspens with anything but green leaves. They yellows and oranges were an amazing sight.
In Florida, you either like wet, muddy trails or you're pretty much out of off-road luck. Well, this was a wholly unsatisfactory predicament for me, so I packed up the Ranger and drove three days, stopping at KOAs in Benton, Ill and Goodland, KS ( after stopping for the first night at my son's...
So jealous. Yankee Boy Basin was definitely on my 'Must See' list. So many amazing trails in the San Juans. Hope to see some of you guys out there in a few weeks. ?
Rode with 6 other Florida Ranger owners through the fire roads, sand and mud of the Ocala National Forest yesterday. Had a blast. My FX4 never let me down - even in some considerably deep mud and very loose and deep sand. I think I'll keep her!
Just mounted my RTT and thought Iād be clever and ācureā the seam material and let it dry before noon to avoid the daily 3PM SoFlo thunderstorms. Mother Nature had other plans. Lol.
