Off Roading in rough terrain in California. Very satisfied on today's drive through the mountains


5 star all around!

 

I sank mine trying to park. We bought this house which is up against a local highway and the yard is a swamp from improper grading. I used my buddies excavator to grade it a bit but it's not the right tool for the job. The city (we aren't city people) that we moved into won't allow gravel driveways to be expanded (they can be given fresh gravel but only where it was already) so we have to pull into the yard to navigate our vehicles into place to allow 2 cars to park and be able to get out.

Well the day before Thanksgiving went to park and the van just kept sinking and then sliding downhill as a moved back and forth trying to get back to the gravel surface and I slowly but surely got my rear fender against a phone pole. I was pissed, really wished I had AWD like my wifes jeep. Now we both have vans and I have been slowly expanding the gravel area so that nobody will notice it is expanding. And this summer if I have the money I will get some dirt delivered (can't dig because gas and phone lines) and get the water routed to the side where I laid drainage.
