North Seattle beginner run

So

Wow that’ll be great to get out there after! I’m over here thinking the Superchips TrailDash 3 is going to make a big difference
I didn’t expect such a quick reply so I’ll have to plan the trip for another weekend since it looks like a 3.5hour drive out.. What are the trails like out there? I’m pretty used to Jordan Creek near Tillamook and my Jeep is a daily driver so I can’t break too much

Evan’s Creek is body damage likely with a 4 door. I crushed 2 fenders and ripped off 1 tail light, but it is SOO fun! Reiter is what you make of it. Low chance of damage unless you get dumb on the hard trails.

Walker Valley is generally easier than Reiter, but a bad line can ruin your day:

I have not been onto the Peninsula yet, but plan to tear it up once I’m done with this regear and break-in.
My Jeep is not a Daily, but I don’t trailer it so it does have to make it home. Hopefully that makes this 5 second summary relevant.

That looks like a lot of fun (besides tipping over)! I’ll definitely get out there eventually since I’ve been getting some quotes to have some work done. We installed the 2.5” spacer lift by RC ourselves (in intermittent pouring rain of course) but I don’t trust my minimal experience with axles, wiring etc..

About 4 months later at Jordan Creek at the top of Marianna’s Trench! Speaking of fenders I let my dad drive and he pulled the right front one half off on a tree backing down a dead end trail..It was pretty funny hearing it flap down the highway going 70

Thanks very much for that description. I think I'll skip Evans Crk this weekend.

Is anyone up for getting the jeeps dirty tomorrow in Tahuya?

I’m working and still have 200 miles to go on gear break in. Hope you get someone though!

I should be operational after this weekend. My break-in will be done tomorrow. I’m off Friday to Monday and will be hopefully fixing my rear fender liners. 39’s might not be on for another week or three, but that’s won’t stop me if people want to get out!
