So I have a stock jeep that has limitations. I was wondering if anyone would ride me and my friend out to Even's creak or Elbe? I'd like to do some real wheelin. I can through up on gas on lunch. I live in federal way.

I really want to ride out to Elbe. But I don't have 33inch tires or a lift on my jeep. If I could ride along, that would be cool.

I don't mind a back seat at all. I just want to explore the trails. Would a buddy be able to ride in the back seat with us? We can put gas in your tank and pitch in for a pizza for lunch or something.

I try not to wheel on Sundays that way I have at least 1 full day to fix things before Monday, but if I do end up heading out on Sunday I'll let you know.

Why not take your rig out there? I read one of your other posts and it said you have 30" tires, I went with a buddy of mine he has 29" at tires and made it through every trail except the busywild and swamp trail. He took a lot of bypasses and needed help a couple times but it is surprising what these rigs will do with a little spotter help, and we all know it's funner to drive than ride.

Here is a couple pics of his rig at Elbe, the hillclimb is up rainier vista which is recommended 36" tires, lockers front/rear and body armor he made it with no assistance other than a spotter
