Some old trail cleanup vid's I found

This was from a few years back when I cleaned a vw bug, a pinto, and a chevette out of a local offroading spot where they'd been dumped.

I brought in a generator and sawzall and cut the chevette in half to haul it out. The vid's are of the rear half getting pulled up the second section of "rollover hill" and up onto the railroad bed. It's a nasty loose sand/gravel hill with a trail junction partway up that tends to pull trucks down sideways.

 

Probably keep your volume down as the exhaust was pretty loud on the car at that point.

 

2.2l, D/R 5spd, 4" PK lift 235/75r15 BFG's on a 92 loyale.

Hauling junk out of the woods is some of the most fun you can have wheeling. I probably pulled thousands of pounds of trash and scrap out with that car.

Used to do the same thing when I lived in Pennsylvania. Used my truck, but we found all sorts of stuff dumped out there. We'd go wheeling for the day, come back with the bed of the truck full of scrap. The next day I'd drop it off at the recyclers. It would pay for gas and then some. Usually $70. - $80. per trip. Off roading was never so profitable.

 

Best was a pile of car exhausts complete with catalytic converters. Good scrap run that day.:brow:

noice! looks like it was fun.

 

 

something about dragging things with your own subaru seems so gratifying. the landscaping company i work for gets ************ stuck in mud pretty frequently, so rather than totally destroy turn with a tractor, the subaru with bald street tires keeps the turf *fairly* intact.
