I took my Forester to a state park, Del Puerto Canyon, I was alone so I could only get a few pictures, including one of my new custom made skid plate.
Todays trip with my new skid plate.

Another one of my hobbies, a lot of work pedaling up hill, fun as hell going down.

My bike is a Trek.
Those are motorcycle trails, after reading the rules I noticed bicycles were not allowed, probably for safety reasons.
The trip was fun, something to do on Sunday, some of the climbs were hard I could not get traction and had to back down the hills, definitely some very challenging climbs also a mud pit some guy on a jeep told me it was about 2 feet deep, there were many climbs that I could not make or even attempt going down, definitely good Jeep trails.

While this question is a bit left field, don't you need front and rear number plates in California? Great pictures by the way.

The skid plate hit a rock one and it has a scratch down the middle, but no dent, I made it out of 1/4 aluminum with 1/4 by 1" stainless brackets.
Yes in California we are suppose to have a front licence plate, the ones on all my cars fall off in the first week. :biggrin:

:lol:
I tried to order plates for mine. But, they hadn't done enough test fittings on the 3.6's. I'm still waiting to hear back for when the product is "finalized." :biggrin:
I sure could've used them that day, though.. :lol:
