Title: Road quality in Huckleberry Range
Post by: Rufous on July 27, 2008, 11:13:42 AM: I am planning to drive up to do some scouting in the Huckleberry Range and am wondering if the roads are really rough. I might take our all wheel drive Nissan Murano instead of the F-150 for this scouting trip if the roads are not too bad. It is much more pleasant to drive and gets much better gas mileage. Thanks, Brian.

I've been trying to talk my wife into letting me trade in my commuter car for a Suzuki Samarai....

Im trading it off foor a 90 Toyota four runner. If you keep it stock it should drive fine. But if you plan on doing a spring over and 31's or 33's make sure you spend the money and go with a crossover steering setup and modify the sway bars otherwise they are all over the road.
