Default Sinkhole Mayhem & 3-wheel

Check out these videos, I had fun today. I finally got to test out the skid plates. They are great. I don't think I broke anything. We went down some really deep trails and were actually skipping down the loose sand path b/c of the front and rear skids. Sand was "waking" like a boat chopping water. The vids dont illustrate the loose sand path, but the videos are some cool donuts and figure 8's in cedar sand. I was asked at least 5 times today (open of shotgun season) if that was the AWD and cheered on by 4x4's lol. People are surprised to see a car do the things a subaru can do.






Please give me a five star rating. Thank you. Major Repzz for those that rate my video!~!!! Thanks everyone! Lets get these to the top.

I like to spend hours detailing my car. So the windows stay down. haha me and my buddy were covered in dirt, and the car was too. I spent 40 min with the air compressor today, and 1hr with vacuum last night If you clean it right, you wont stain or ruin anything. Thanks for your suggestion though! If i didn't like to clean, i'd be po'd

Quick question:

Nasioc board member was telling me I need to watch my CV boots while doing these three wheel stunts. He said due to increased travel of the wheel I might rip a boot. I have front and rear perrin sways, which restrict the amount of wheel travel. So, am I ok then? It sure does look like the perrin is doing its job. What is the amount of stress a perrin sway bar can take?? I've checked my mounts, and all the gaskets and everything seems tight and dandy.
