Yeah im in both groups as well as MN Trail Lizards. They have all been a good resource. I really wanted to go to spider lake with them but couldnt get my shit together in time, plus i've never wheeled in snow and didnt want to slow them down too much while i learn so i was pretty hesitant not...

Thanks for the info. Gravelmap is what I was using last weekend but when I would get to a road I would find out its not open to ORVs at this time, only for hike, horseback, snowmobiles, ATVs, or any combo of those. Some of them marked as roads on that map were not even roads when I got there...

Dude, obviously I've seen that page. That's why I called them, to ask if it was groomed or if it was still open to ORVs. And the other link you sent also shows that Gandy Dancer is open but would close after grooming. Nothing says the current status, so I called. I'm literally just going off...

I've got a snatch strap we can use if you end up tracking down a tow hook. Yeah, I'm not looking to go crazy and tear up the trail, just looking for a cool nature drive without pavement lol

I specifically asked the DNR person about Jeeps/Broncos going down that trail and she said it was totally legal and open to regular vehicles even after grooming, not just snowmobiles and ATVs. Actually, she even said they prefer ATVs not use the trail right now, but they are allowed if they want...

I love the look of these! Will definitely be considering this mod because I want more amber! lol maybe I'll wait until I get wider tires or offset that gives a little more poke. The aggressive stance will help make these lights seem less extra lol For everyone hating on vehicles less than 80"...

10AM at Grand Casino Hinckley? Should be at the trail by about 11AM. Not sure how long it would take to get through the trail but an 11AM start should leave us plenty of daylight for getting through with some stops along the way. You might have an accessible rear recovery point, but would need...

I thought for sure the sport still had a recovery point on the front, but never looked into it. Well, sounds like we won't have any issues anyway since the trail is groomed. I thought that meant we can't drive on it (as per their website), but DNR told me otherwise 🤷‍♂️ so we are good to go!

So, got an answer from DNR about Gandy Dancer. They said Gandy is open to all ORVs but that it is groomed. So I specifically asked if we can take Broncos or Jeeps on Gandy even though it's groomed. She said it is open, there is no law against it, but they do request that ATV's stay off because...

If they havent groomed and we can drive on it, its probably going to be decently packed down from others. Forest roads is a good backup plan. If we cant turn around, the traction boards, shovel, and snatch strap will get good use lol you have front recovery points right?

So i forgot about government holiday today and havent been able to get a hold of moose lake DNR office to ask, nobody answering yesterday and today. I'll try again this afternoon and tomorrow morning.

Agreed, way too much and they actually lowered the price from $2000+ already lol if they are still this expensive and no other alternatives by the time weather gets nice and i start wanting to use my tent, i'll sell the OEM rack and just fork out the rest for a stronger rack i guess. But not...

Hey @EIGHTLUG just curious what you've figured out so far, if anything, when it comes to load ratings? Probably too early in your process, but are you able to create a higher static and dynamic load rating for your rack using the same mounting points and without adding additional supports when...

I was wondering the same thing about the ZROADZ roof rack since they have a 2dr version that has an optimistically high advertised static and dynamic load rating. My tent is 141 lbs so if the load ratings are correct, the ZROADZ rack would be perfect for me, but i'm not really looking to be the...

FB group Soft Roaders MN is hitting Spider Lake trails tomorrow. Anyone here part of that FB group? I'm still trying to decide if I'm going with. Sounds like winches will definitely get used for slippery uphill portions. I don't have one but a few in the group have winches. I'm just hesitant...

I'll be calling the DNR office this weekend to see what they think the status will be for next weekend; Gandy Dancer groomed or not? More info to follow by end of the weekend.

1 star review left. Good luck, OP.

ZROADZ 2dr roof rack says weight capacity 195lbs off-road, 240lbs dynamic, 570lbs static. Thoughts? I want it to be true but I question what the roof itself will hold since this doesnt look like it privides any additional support compared to the OEM rack with much lower rating...

Agreed, that dummy's neck pretty much exploded

I believe Ford lowered the name match requirement from 80% down to 60%, so you're dealer may not be penalized for selling it to someone else you bring in as long as they maintain name match on other orders at 60% or higher. If they are allowing you to have them sell to a family member or friend...
