Looks like it's time I got this trip organized.
Description:
A chillaxed trip looking for snow around the back of the Marysville/Lake Mountain area. A number of the tracks we will be driving are at an altitude of ~1000-1200m, so, with a bit of luck and the gods on our side, with snow we will be met.
Rating:
Easy for Suzukis, medium-ish for larger vehicles.
Date:
05-Aug-2012
Meeting Point:
10:00 at the Fuel Station in Marysville, I believe the address is 10 Murchison St.
Attendees:
Matt
Jon
Christover
Mika, maybe

I'm in if there's a good chance of snow, otherwise a maybe. Looking at the snowwatch website there's a chance we'll have some snow.

like a dry bearing or gears or something, sounds like a faint jet engine off a plane or something, the muffled noise from inside the cabin.
sort of like the mud terrain tires on tarmac but much more sever.
jacked it up by both front and back diffs but couldnt hear/feel any play in any wheel.
get a bit of feedback from the brake pedal too when braking.
I'm wondering if this is my wheel bearings loose or something.

Front or rear of the car?
Does locked/unlocked or 2wd/4wd make a difference?
