yea fri night me and my buddies went up to evans and there was no new tracks at all so we cut a path on the main road goin up to the campground but some tweaker dumass took his 98 4 runner with stock road tires and sunk it pass the diffs.(his rig had been up there for three days!!) so we had to tow him out along with 4 other yotas that were up there. Right around the campground entrance the dumbass got stuck again but then the yota that tried to pull him out got stuck, then the big chevy got stuck tryin to pull him out then a wrangler got slightly stuck but he had a wench so he finally wenched everyone out. i crawled right between all of them no prob with a stock runner with only 31's. we finally got home at 4am

haha... I was considering coming down. Now that I've seen some of the carnage, I think the sphincter on my truck's tail pipe is clenched so tight that if I try going anywhere for a week I'll blow my muffler.

I have been to other puget sound area ORV's with no problem from the law. I have heard from other guys that Evans is patrol'd and enforced. Even out in the thick of it they get on dirt bikes and make sure your not drunk.
Reiter pit is getting tough on street legal laws on the paved road leading into the trails as well.

Thumbs up

Nothing to be disapointed about this run. Still hard to belive 31" LTB and locked rear did that. 1st had to get the snach out, the brown line in the background is the root he drove up. 2nd maybe only photo of our turn around. 3rd NOBODY made that entrance untill the end of the day.

HAHA oh yes the turn-around!
We didnt have anywhere to turn around so we popped it in rear wheel and i dumped the clutch while 3 guys pushed the rear/front end around. Basically we turned two trucks around sitting in place on a switchback
And Rob using his hilift haha!

Still working on things. 1st nice shoot of the camp for lunch. I like how Al was to good for some little stick, this one has the pry bar, already saw the mud flap. 2nd 3rd after shots of the flop. I liked the perfect fender mark with paint, no skid marks. Another view of the posible cause, NO not the casualty I'm refuring to the tree cumming out of the root ball. I'll see if I can post my video of Plumber running in the ice next.

This would only be better if you didn't get water in the distributer and could have made it. Still thought it was worth posting.

Looks great! I use to have that bumper but I hated how low it hung down and it stuck out a little too far for my taste.

I am not running a snorkel to keep the water out either. After looking at the video I should came through the other way to break up that ice dam!

I always fell short running BFG Mud terrians in hardcore situations. Now that I have swampers I am never going back! I dont even know they are worth running in comparison to an all-terrian? I have never ran an all-terrian only BFG MT & Wildcats?

All i know now is swampers rule the trail
