Does anyone on here go wheeling in the Blue Mountains or anywhere else in the Dayton/Walla Walla area? I just moved over here any it seems like I'm the only cherokee in Dayton. So many Toyota trucks.

 

Mountains open Monday, be up above Pomeroy next weekend.. following around a Toyota

 

I drove up around Godman Spring and came down near BlueWood. I wasn't going to go the whole way since I was by myself, but ran into a 'yota right as I got into the snow. So we drove the loop together. It was pretty nice. The main trail had deep enough ruts that it would steer my jeep around corners. Lol

 

I don't know, but I would really like to go snow wheeling.

 

There's not much snow this year, but still enough up higher to get plenty stuck. Its definitely time for gears and bigger tires this fall I think. 31s did alright following but not at all when trying to break trail.

 

I know I need gears. 35s and 3.55 don't make my transmission happy. I started leaving a bloody trail at the top. Just a small drip but working the trans seems to make it drip a lot more. Going to fix it today

 

Snow is brutal on Autos, I've killed two transmissions in the snow. But ooh so fun my favorite wheeling by far

 

Lol and I was worried about going to 33s with 3.73s... Should have did it I guess, o well.

 

It's not cheap but getting the right gears in your differentials for the tires you have keeps your automatic tranny alive through all kinds of wheeling.

 

Ya I'm just having a hard time biting the bullet on gears. The install prices are just so high. $$$

 

They're not that hard to install yourself, or I'm sure you could find someone on here that could help ya for cheap.
