Low range takes a lot of the strain off the drivetrain as well when sand driving, I am sure some of the AWD cars mentioned here would do just fine on the beach, but they would be working much harder than a vehicle with low range. Its too bad we dont get the low range option on the Forester or...

My wife and I along with some friends spent the weekend up at in NC mountains, we stayed in Linville Falls and did quite a bit of hiking in the Linville Gorge. The colors were incredible this weekend :) On the way up we stopped at a couple vineyards in the Yadkin Valley. Pictures were taken with...

Sadly I don't think the TDI would handle the trails very well, have an awesome time though! Uwharrie will be beautiful this time of year :)

Heading up to the NC mountains tomorrow morning, camera in tow! Beautiful pictures everyone!

Couple quick questions on the 4wd system in the sport. I would imagine it has a center differential, so it can be used on pavement? Does it have a true low range? LSD or locking rear differential? Can you lock the center diff? I've read just about everything on the site about them as well and...

Awesome looking truck!

I like it!

We'll be keeping the TDI for awhile, its hard to give up the gas mileage. Next car to go will be the wife's GTI, when I get back into a truck :)

Thread back from the dead, the answer to my original question is..YES! While I didn't convert the Rover back to stock, I did sell it and pick up an 05 Jetta TDI. Even though the TDI gets 50mpg and is dead reliable, it just bores me :| Next vehicle will absolutly be a 4wd again...just a matter...

Great pictures and write up! I really miss the great lakes sometimes! (born and raised in MI)

Hey all thanks for the info on Subie, I actually had an 05 Impreza and was really impressed with what it could do, however I would like to stick with something with a true low-range as I'd rather be under utilizing the vehicle, than straining it...if that makes any sense. I think I am going to...

Care to elaborate :)

I've heard nothing but good things about them, might have to check one out.

www.rimfirecentral.com has an awesome, and very active air rifle section. Might be worth checking there :)

I really only need it for the soft sand on the beach, other than that I don't. I actually had an 05 2.5RS and absolutly loved it, and was shocked at some of the places it would go. I just don't think it could handle the sand on the beaches in the OBX. Most of the time the sand is pretty...
