Arctic Offroad Forums

I took Robert out on FWA for some quick wheeling to test beat the 'beaver. We chained up by the animal picture dumpsters and played around a while by the landing lights. It took about 25-30 min to mount all 4 chains, should be able to do it in about 15-20 now with that little refresher practice. I found out it takes quite a hill to even need 4x4 with those chains.





This is the little mound up on the landing light hill. I probably could have crawled it if I had an offroad carb. The engine stalled out 1/2 way up while still creeping forward. The 2nd run was with a bit of momentum but just enough to keep the RPM up, not enough to roll the hill.

Then we headed up to Sage Hill via the back trail. I love punching through brush and not worrying about paint or fender damage.

If you look close you can see beaver tracks up the side of Sage Hill.









We blasted to the top without losing any forward motion. I did have to weave back and forth a bit when I felt the wheels start to spin, but it just kept on digging and climbing. Man, what a testosterone rush! I think I'll be able to beat this thing like it owes me money and it'll keep coming back for more.
