LOL, you crack me up. i will be up at walker this weekend, then next weekend is my lil bro's b-day so i wont be available, but you can always make a side trip. but for us guys that live about 3 hours away, about 1 trip every now and then is really all i can afford. but as long as everyone shows up (and Oregon laws or fire dangers dont find there way over here) then it should be an awesome trip

Haha Idk man. I'm still on 33s open/open. I ran the rest of the trails with some XJs an it was care. The only hard part was rainier Vista on the hill. I couldn't quite make ur the the easier side an don't have the clearance for the rocky side. But the wild sounds fun. But don't think I could hang with the big boys yet. I just changed out my doors from Evans. That damn tree stump. Id want sliders before I do the busy
Enough said.

I am in, gotta finish up some sliders this weekend. I'm crossing my fingers for the baby to be born on a week day so I can miss work. So any weekend after this one should be ok.

Popcan, did you go and get a pretty new Cherokee when nobody was looking? LOL...you are one of the hardcores I figured would never be worried about dents. I finally had to break down and put a new hatch on mine but, that was only because I broke the old one nearly in half.

I'm heading out of town on business this coming Saturday and I won't be back til the 1st of October. That very next weekend of the 8th and 9th of Oct, I would be all over a run to Elbe or Evans. I haven't been wheeling for over a month and My least three wheelin trips were all to Walker Valley. I need to go wheelin and I need it to be an Evans or Elbe run. I'd rather it was Elbe because would like to take a run through the Busy Wild while it is dry before I try it wet. I'm still on 33s for now but, I may have a line on a set of 36" TSLs on Beadlock wheels for my Jeep. So I should be much better equipped to try the busy in the winter. I also have a truck that can pull a trailor. I just need to get a trailor and then I won't have to sweat staying street legal so I can trim the fenders rather than lift higher to clear the 36s.....LMAO... I might have to join the snorkal club like Tim if I don't add anymore lift.

From what I hear the busy is much different and easier now than it has ever been in the past. They are logging that area and were not supposed to be running equipment down the trail, but apparently they have been and those parts have gotten much easier. I hear the beginning is still tough, but some of the middle sections have been widened out and made much easier by the loggers.

really? Well that sucks. Cuz that was one the only trails around here that i havent done b/c of the difficulty rating and body damage issue but according to you that part isnt there anymore?... Have you actually seen it, or is that just what you have heard?
