Will do! Next trip looking like it will be Aug 20, but over in Tillamook SF. Will or myself will post in the Oregon Bronco Club on here, maybe also the Northwest sub-forum.
I put 285/70/17s on my Big Bend, no other modifications. So far, so good. I'm thinking all I might do is get some Badlands takeoffs or find another budget-friendly solution to get just a little bit of lift (can't go too high or it won't fit in my garage 😄).
Cool. Yeah, when I did it solo, we took the south entry and turned around after we found a little spot to loop around.
Gotta say, the drive on Saturday out in Gifford Pinchot NF (NF-41 to 43 from Sunset Falls CG, see my post here...
Went out with @WillRCTID and @SkiRig on Saturday, this time up in Washington. Met up in Battle Ground, then headed out toward Sunset Falls Campground, where we got on NF-41 and headed east. Quick detour up NF-501 to Lookout Mountain, then back on NF-41 to NF-43 and out Wind River Highway, out to...
Great shots!
Yeah, no mods here aside from the tires, so careful is my game. We might go back out there before fall, so we'll check out 800.

Not really interesting, what I drove of it. Mostly flat, a few mud pits that we avoided (still had the OEM tires and was just out exploring with the wife, so we didn't do anything that might've put us in a position to need any help). There were a couple nice views of the valley and whatnot, but...
Bummer! Our general plan is to do some kind of run like this once a month, so keep an eye out here. My guess is another run in Gifford Pinchot NF or maybe somewhere around Mt. Hood again.
