Does anyone elses do this? It seems like it...

Great seller, included all the instructions one might need and shipped quickly.

This last one is a fire we saw on the way in on the Diablo Range side, showed up on the Calfire map as...
Cool trail, took about 1hr, going 10mph most of the time. Very scenic, goes through coastal cliffs, small plains, redwood forests. Drove it from the South, Andrew Molera State Park to the North, exiting at Bixby Canyon bridge.
Somewhat rutted in spots but overall you could probably do this in...

Didn't air down, used 4Lo after the trans temp started to go up once we hit the dirt, which didn't take long. Only did a few thousand feet of dirt, ran out of time to get to the summit. Did the orange...
