Washington Washington members that live to wheel

In the front does having the bump stops lined up equal having the axle square to the frame? Or not necessarily.
 
Anyone need any assistance with weather and flooding?

I'm definitely 4-6 hours south but if anyone needs a place to land we've got plenty of space.

And I can load up a tractor, grapple and chainsaw and head north.

Or my kayak and SUP and my swift water rescue cert...

So Dirt Lifestyle went up to Rimrock... He's a little melodramatic but you guys can get an idea of what it's like up there...

Imagine doing this in the dark.....

I generally like Nate's stuff, but I remember thinking during this that it was a little dramatic. Like yes, it would be bad if your brakes went out. It would also be bad if they went out coming down Snoqualmie Pass, or any local small hill in a neighborhood.

On video, it didn't seem any more intimidating than Kaner or Shoestring?

There are some sections of trail that are worse than Shoestring/Kaner but then the rest of the trail is like it was. It's the steepness and then the "IF YOU ROLLED"

Here's that spot too.

Now if you WANT fun, you do that trail along the ridgeline in the dark... It's absolutely beautiful with the stars all around you... But you defiantly don't want to fuck up and make the wrong turn... Cause there aren't any trees to stop you from rolling for about 1,000'.

There's a ton of trails up in the Rimrock area. OnX doesn't show half of them.

Well you don't go up there until late June or July since it's got too much snow normally until then. We'll have to come up with some plans for this coming year.. Or list of places keeps growing that we want to hit.

And I'm the only one with a mostly clean schedule... Meaning I could go any day of the week... Every day is Saturday for me.

Another video of the area... Since I'd looked her up now she's popping up as suggested videos to watch.


And just shows the stupidity of some people in this sport and why others dislike what they think is the 4WD community.

I can make pretty much any day in the summer work since I make my own schedule and my wife is off in the summers. But I know that's not the case for everyone.

Well it only takes two to make a group for a run.. Never go out alone and all.

And depending on snow levels my club does a fathers day weekend run in the Rimrock area too so you could come over for that. Some years we've done a 4-5 day camping trip out of it where we'd hit a different trail every day.

This is still my favorite picture from Funny Rocks.

There's some awesome views from up there. Why won't you do Pucker Ridge?

And some serious side hills too. Leaning into those trees...
