Cool, would be fun to meet up... Look for me in a black hooded sweatshirt with the logo on it from my site: http://www.mastermindvideo.com/ I will probably have on a neon yellow media vest as well. I will be there around 2:00pm on Friday to set up shop. See you there! -Chris

Here is a link for the rally info... http://www.oregontrailrally.com/tentative_schedule.cfm see ya there!

Is anyone from the USMB going/ competing in the Oregon Trail Rally April 21st-23rd? I will be there with my camera crew filming. I was able to get media passes for my group and will be following the OLN TV crew. Should be a good turn out this year. I would love to meet up with anyone from the USMB, just look for my lifted Red EA82 Loyale with a yak rack on top and 14" pugs. -Chris

I think that is Albie's Outback from Allied Armament. That thing can hold its own.

Thanks Shawn that will help alot! I will get back to you later on this summer when the project starts rolling. Thanks again!

Shawn, you are a wise man. I am horrible with wiring. I plan on doing the EA to EJ22 swap later on this summer and would love to pay for your expertise. Any suggestions or tricks I should know for pulling a harness from 90-94 Legacy? Thanks -Chris

I agree with Chux... you do have to work the clutch a bit. I think you should be just fine with 27's to start out. I plan on putting in a EJ22 in mine later on this summer to help with some of the horse power/ hill climbing abilities. I figure a little more umph couldn't hurt with the EJ under the hood.

Yeah, I had all of the old 13" tires and wheels, spare parts, and all of my tools in the back. She was saggin a bit. I put some action pics soon. That pic was taken 10 minutes after I finished the install of the lift.

Old picture, sorry Dirty pics will soon come... '92 Loyale, 4" AA lift, AA skid plate, AA front bumper, MSD coil, K&N, 27" Wildcats, 14" Pug alloys

I have the AA 4" lift with 27" tires on 14" pug alloys on my '92 Loyale, no trimming at all. In fact I added front mud flaps and the rear body trim strakes from a GL-10. See profile... Numbchux is right, get a dual range tranny installed. Big improvement on climbing and decents. The kit is entirely bolt on, did mine in 6 hours with a high lift. Good to get some breaker bars for leverage and a come-a-long just in case. The tranny mounts a bit of work to line up (used the come-a-long and breaker bars) but went in fine. My avatar was taken 10 minutes after installation. No problems at all! Great lift and well built. I did lengthen my pitch stopper one inch to relieve tension on motor mounts. A few ground wires on the body and tranny had to be lengthend. no big deal though. Let me know if you have any questions about install tricks. -Chris

A few of us have gone out to Mary's Peak up here outside of Corvallis, Lots of stuff to find in the coast range.

I know this would be very time consuming, but... It would be sweet to see more pictures and more detailed shots in the USRM. Also maybe some short video clips to demonstrate proceedures that pics can't do as well. Thanks for putting it together thusfar. It has been very helpful many times! -Chris http://www.mastermindvideo.com

I think you need to move back here!

Yeah let us know if you are wanting to head out. We have some fun trails still to explore!

Thinking about it, not sure though...

Here's a link to the Sample page on my site with a clip from the Oregon Trail Rally video I did for the Oregon Rally Group for everyone to check out. http://www.mastermindvideo.com/samples.html It will take a bit to open so be patient. I just wanted you to see what I've done and can do to help you with the WCSS video. I use all professional equipment and editing software and I would love to lend my services to help out with your project. Thanks for taking the time to check it out. -Chris http://www.mastermindvideo.com

I've got some video footage from the January 1st 2006 St. Helens Mud Run with a black hatch running those tractor tires. He went anywhere he wanted with ease! Pretty cool to see. -Chris http://www.mastermindvideo.com

If anyone is thinking of filming the show let me know! I would love to offer my equipment and services to help with any kind of production for the weekend of WCSS. contact me through http://www.mastermindvideo.com or PM me Thanks! -Chris

Good to see everything coming together! Can't wait to be there filming all of the craziness!

This is going to be a stage rally so mainly dirt and a bit of tarmac... Check these out for more details http://www.nwr-scca.org/rally/doowop.htm http://www.oregonrally.com/index.cfm I should be there filming and could meet up with anyone -Chris http://www.mastermindvideo.com

call around to your local wrecking yards and see if they have any wrecked Peugeots 505's 504's etc... lying around, that's your best bet. and least expensive usually...

Bummer, hope they get the permit soon! http://www.sthelensmudrun.com/sthelensmudrun/indexx.html

I will be there with my video equipment shooting for AA. If any other subies show up I would love to get some shots of you! 37 acres of slop, lots of fun. I filmed at the Jan 1st. Mud Run and it was sweet!

I live just 35 minutes north on I-5 from Eugene. I'll keep an eye out for you guys.

Anyone from the USMB make it out to the St. Helens mud run on Sunday the first of January? I saw a few Soobies out there other than our group (a white hatch and a black hatch). It was sweet, got some good video of the AA guys pushing their Soobs hard. We should make it a USMB event for all of us to play in the mud during the winter.
