Pics from Tahuya
 
There was supposed to be a "Memorial day run for Ft. Lewis. but not that many people came. It is difficult to get people together for wheeling.

Only in a buggy, it is so much gnarlier in person.

I should have picked a differrent trail to go back down on. But a white XJ with the same amount of lift went down this side. And his back tire came about 2 feet off the ground. So Naturally I had to check if the same would happen to me.

It doesnt have awesome ground clearance, But it looked like the whole under carraige has a pan on it pretty cool.

Same rock pile.

The extra length of the Dodge Van leafs make for a better shackle angle and a really smooth ride. They also have alot more travel for better flex. 4" of lift plus the other benefits make them an awesome option, for the budget builder.
Brian I see why you didn't want to make the drive out there, it was 120 miles for me round trip. Did they have all the rocks there when you came down last time. I should have never went to Evan's Creek, nothing else has been near as fun. But Tahuya did have a couple of trails with decent pucker factor.:thumbsup:

Yeah, there are a couple of good hill climbs, that's about it at Tahuya. It's beautiful area and really pretty drive getting there but, Evans Creek and Walker Valley are both better. Bobby, you will really like Reiter, too. You have to make that trip on June 12th....You and me need to punk Brandon enough to get him to go, too. Reiter will not disappoint....and it's not quite as far for you to drive as coming up to Walker.
