We went back to Paragon Adventure Park for our annual Christmas run and had a blast! Even though there were only a few of us out, it was an awesome weekend and we got to hang out with some friends. Even Lockdoc got to drive the SPB!

I'm not about to get bit by THAT offroading bug just yet ($$$) .. LOL.. but it's pretty wild to see an astro get over that terrain.

Re: Time for some new wheeling pics!
There are holes in the end of the plug but the hole doesn't go all the way through. It is more like an indent in the end of the plug. There is a complete plug there.potskie wrote:I don't see em. All I can see is 2 black holes int he ends of the connects.

Re: Time for some new wheeling pics!
great photos! We drove our 2003 stock AWD on a dirt road with a few ruts.
for about 10 miles.
I hope to find more SUV type dirt roads to explore.
I have 225/70-16 BFG TA KO's and stock 3.42 axles. the van is a bit slow to acclerate from a stop on a steep incline. It would be nice to have 3.73 axle and wow it would be nice to have a 2 speed transfer case....some day...
Once summer comes I will install the 2 inch lift from Overland.
