Off-road plans

[Rivers90]

I have see people taking their Bronco sport badlands on some advanced trails.

I was thinking of starting at "Hungry Valley State Vehicular Recreation Area"

They have from easy dirt roads to hard trails.

Some time after that I want to do the Mojave road.

What sort of off-road plans for your Maverick Tremor do you have?

"off road" around here involves expensive membership fees to distant private parks. So next to none, basically.

My driveway first and foremost, definitly gonna take it Jaws, and Polipoli when they open back up. Plus I always see videos of people wheeling on the west side but I never go cause all my wheelers arent reliable enough to get over there.

Another trip to Big Bend. There are some hike I want to do off some unpaved "roads".

Mojave road sounds great, but generally the Maverick is going to take me to the trailhead, then I'm on foot the rest of the way. Perhaps that'll change, but I don't think off-roading with a on-road vehicle is a huge thing in Minnesota. LOTs of those UTV things though

Check the SCCA website to see if you have any Rallycross events locally. The Tremor would do relatively well, although competing in the stock AWD class it would go against Evo, WRX STi, Focus RS which it would obviously be at a big power/weight disadvantage. Even still, I'm considering it just for fun. Maybe a few events. I'd recommend mudflaps and ppf.

I live on the west side of Indy so there’s virtually nothing but a few auto parks near the borders.

I do know there’s some exciting forest areas down south I’ve driven before where higher clearance and awd is necessary as well as dirt roads near the Ohio river. I did it in my Corolla many moons ago and lived to tell the tale.

Haspin Acres to the south and I know there is a bunch of stuff to the west around some of those state park lake type areas, Never been but I i researched em a decade ago and there were trails.

Don't do any off-road park stuff around here but it will be driven till it's stuck quite a bit in the winter months during hunting and trapping season. Summer time it'll bounce through farm fields across corrugates and pivot tracks.

I’ll probably take it to Silver Lake dunes. Da UP. Chicago Winters. Maybe some light trails in CO

I have not made it there yet.
I did go to Hungry Valley State Vehicular Recreation Area, Off the 5 freeway north of LA.
No good photos. If I don't make it to the Mojave Road soon it will be too hot till after summer.

I’m hopeful you get out soon! I have a tremor on order and a group that wants to go do the Mojave road this fall. I think it should be fine, right? Only thing I’m concerned about is the water crossing…

I have done about 1/3 of the Mojave road about 2 years ago and that part would be no problem. I did the part most west with the water crossing. Depending on rain the water level can change but it was nothing to worry about at the time. I was in a 4wd Xtera but a friend came in a 2wd 4runner and he only got stuck once and just pulled him out.

I did air my tires down and that helps a lot. I am planing on running 25 psi for this trail.
