Oh I believe it, but I was alone :/ And like I said, my jeep's still my daily driver, and I need it to get to work, so I baby it.

Is Evans much tougher?

Also, I have tow hooks, front quick disconnects. But they need to be installed (haven't had the time)

And I'm gonna get rid of the rear sway when I do all that.

I'm also running on 30" tires, and my diff did scrape once or twice. So I'm gonna get some sort of skid plate for those puppies. They're pretty important :P

That's what my girlfriend suggested. "Why don't we come back with someone who knows the area". Never occurred to me.

I will get back to you on when to go. My life is a little booked for the month of August.

yes sir. That's the birth place of my off-roading/truck experience. Its what started it all.

Every time I go back there I find more trails and tougher spots to get into. And once it starts raining its even better because its the perfect place to go just to get mud all over your jeep :P

Evan's creek is MUCH harder then Tahuya and I HIGHLY recommend riding with someone out there to see what your getting your self into before going on your own.

Indeed, however, all those entrances are blocked off. Gotta enter from Lipoma Firs and find your way down to the lower area. Its easy. little trails in between trees.

Just don't make a big ruckus doing it.

Okay, I'll take your advice. Thank you for the tip.

Pierce County Sheriff's office will give you a fat fine if your got back there. I was given a firm warning last time I was out there to stay out of that area.

That's why I say don't make a big ruckus. and if you do go back, just go deep, don't hang around the surrounding neighborhoods. Not just because the Cops will come pester you. Mainly because I'm sure the locals don't care to listen to our vehicles wheel around.

But sadly it is a blocked off area. Some people are very against going to places like that. I'm indifferent. I'm a strong supporter of "tread lightly" and I will leave the trail how I found it.

A lot of people use that area as their personal garbage can though, and that is the main reason cops get on you. If you know your gonna get caught, get caught cleaning up one of the trash piles. :P
