• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Any experience or ideas on Increasing Ground Clearance on the Canyon Models?

I have been driving Jeeps and Motorcycles over 50 years. A important factor is ground clearance and plating to slide over obstacles. Has anyone with experience and letters behind their opinion come up with more ground clearance and protection with alternatives for more ground clearance and skid plates for Can Am Spyder Canyon models. I have driven on roads that have been rated a 4 on a 4 point system with a Jeep and motorcycle ( 2 wheels) but just looking how far can we stretch the Canyon with good engineering. If I am driving on a graded roads and have a severe rain fall and wash outs how can the experts improve my ride for safe travel.

Good advice, but sometimes I have been in places where that would not work, I would need a tow point to get over an obstacle safely. Driving with a small group of like minded individuals always helps. Driving on one side of a mountain range, it could be sunny and nice, while on the other side, you have a thunderstorm creating an obstacle. I always travel with tools, a tire repair kit, a first aid kit, a winch, and a compressor in my Jeep that has a GMR radio.

My Redrock has limited space and riders who travel on graded gravel roads and paved roads. Having a first aid kit, tire repair kit, small compressor, GAIA route (which works off satellite on my iPhone), and a tow line/strap.

Traveling always brings surprises, fifty years ago my CJ7 found a puddle where water was up to the hood on a forest road in Price County, WI. We backed out and went another way, so thanks for the advice. We are just starting the stories on the Redrock.
