Hi guys, I’m in the Greater Seattle Area and looking for friends this year to learn a bit about off roading. Taking Rex - 23 Wildtrak to the Utah off rodeo in May so I’m interested in some super ez stuff in the next few months before doing a few of the back roads like chicken fingers and shafers white rim area.

I'm in SLC so I'm a little bit far from you but I learned A LOT about offroading by watching this YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@MattsOffRoadRecovery

Also search YouTube for these phrases and watch all the videos. That's what I did and gained a ton of knowledge.

airing down
airing up
locking differentials (rear, center, front)
sway bar disconnect
4wd hi vs 4wd lo
comparing mud tires and all-terrain tires
wheelbase
approach/departure angles
tow rope vs. kinetic/recovery/snatch rope
how to use a kinetic rope safely (extremely important - can cause death if used incorrectly)
how to change a spare tire (super basic but i don't know how much of a beginner you are)

Congrats on the Bronco. Not sure of your definition of "easy" as you referenced a couple of "roads" that I've not heard of. A lot of the roads for easy exploring are covered in snow this time of year. As for easy/beginner trail practice, Tahuya/Elfendahl is your best bet.

@evgenyvasenev

@evgenyvasenev sweet man we thinking about doing something in February when I get an idea

of timing I’ll hit you up

Hit me up too! I’m back in Seattle next week and looking to find folks to do some soft roading with@Quitefrankly

@Sweetooth710

@Sweetooth710 Will do - for now I think I'm gonna meet up with Sam hopefully soon then plan something

When in may are you headed to Moab, I will be there wheeling for a week mid May.

@Quitefrankly

@Quitefrankly Rad, always good to have local folks in the area. We will be doing a mix of trails some moderate some hard.

@Mikerider

@Mikerider are you going to the bronco safari? There is a good thread nd. Good group of people headed to meet and trail ride.

@SuzH

@SuzH wont be there for the safari, planning to be in Moab May 14th-19th

Hey! I'm in the Seattle area. Definitely interested in driving down to Moab too - are you camping on the way down?

@CptSamFalcon

@CptSamFalcon hey man I likely am going to do a hell bent drive in one day to get to Boise or even Ogden before I

. Unfortunately I don’t have enough time to camp this time around we gonna stay in Moab two star for two nights then drop my friends back off in slc before making the trip back. Prolly all day Thursday to get to slc on Friday morning

@Quitefrankly

@Quitefrankly Thats usually my style - I can definitely one shot Boise and probably further than that on a good day.

Also let me know if you want to go to Tahuya or elsewhere. I usually take it pretty easy but would be down to explore a little bit!

@CptSamFalcon

@CptSamFalcon hey man it’s a busy month for me, but I plan on getting some skid plates for Moab ordered and installing some stuff message me your number and I’ll reach out with contact info so we can set it up!

Check out @rigsandadventures on Fb and the web. We have lots of fun events!

I’m looking for folks to do some soft roading with too. I’m in Seattle and am down!

When in May are you doing your Offrodeo? I’ll be there mid-May

@Bluestreak57

@Bluestreak57 I’m doing mine May 13th

@Quitefrankly

@Quitefrankly WILL MISS YOU BY A WEEK… ENJOY!!

@Bluestreak57

@Bluestreak57 I think I’ll do potash road and chicken fingers on Sunday morning but outside of that some great hiking in the arches. Make sure to reserve if you going to the national park

I’m brand new to the off roading world. Looking for easy trails as I learn how to drive a manual myself. Located in Bellingham.

Doing Utah May 13th Off Roadeo and Sunday I’ll do potash road super early in the morning before doing one of the more challenging roads once the suns up!!
