I used to do a lot of novice off-roading in Corona and San Berdo with the toy and my buddy had an incredible Bronco. Here in WA I am only going to be going on open trails mainly beginner trails/sight seeing/land marks, etc.
I just finished making some nerf bars. I think I will put the largest tire I can use on the stock XLT and make a bull bar. Later if I like the Escape on the open trails
maybe, maybe add some strength to the uniframe and purchase a new gas tank.
all depends on how I like it on the 13..
by the way that Pirate board is sweeeet!!!
