WHERE HAVE YOU OFF ROADED TODAY??

47 miles of Idaho backcountry roads, lots of nasty rugs and downed trees to crawl over with the truck and camper, but got to one of our fav spots- just me and my 2.5 year old while mom and our 3 week old baby were at home. Amazing thing about this spot is it’s so well maintained, but the only east access point if private and that’s how the feds get in to maintain it. Had the place to ourselves

 

Off-roading I’m the Texas mountains.

 

Great photos

 

Thanks Popa Dave. I’ll be sure to get some moar pics. The last one was supposed to be a pano, but for whatever reason the quality came out subpar. You can see some of the landscape with the mountains and dried up river bed. Filled with snakes, mountain lions and Aoudads.

 

A few of the muddy roads I have been down. The bad part about it is that the front bumper is trying to fall apart. It is made for city life the same as all the other brands (ford,Chevy,Dodge) they need to make something that is not plastic.

 

I led a group over the Magruder Corridor, Idaho. 100 miles following the old Native American route from Idaho over the SawTooth mountains to Darby Montana. Ended at the Dutton Ranch, didn’t go to the train station, haha

Fun drive

 

Another couple

 

Oregon/Washington Blues Mountains

 

Not exactly off roading, more drove on dirt. I went to Dry Falls WA where a 3.5 miles wide waterfall was created during the end of the ice age by catastrophic glacial floods when Lake Missoula burst its ice dam. It would be equivalent to Lake Eerie and Ontario immediately emptying out at the same time.

Weather when I took off this morning


Camp at Frenchman Coulee next to a cliff

 

Hells Canyon Idaho!

From Joseph OR it’s about 3 hours to Dug Bar along the snake. Not very hard off roading but a lot of fun leading 10 rigs down 3500’ of elevation change

 

Hardly off-roading, but the new 1794 did get off the road for the first time. Great photos in this thread and thanks for sharing.

 

This is awesome! And it is beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

 

Picked this up to pull the boat, comfort and because I think they look cool. My buddies have been encouraging some off road exploring. I'm getting interested. Shot out to Borrego to look at wild flowers and sample a little of Slot Canyon trail. Rain started dumping just after we got back on the pavement.
I don't need another expensive hobby.

 

Not today and not much to see in the pic, but sure was fun exploring in MN

 

Went off-roading in Flagstaff, AZ lots of snow.

 

I love being the first in an area so I'm the one "breaking trail"

 

I don’t have many of my new truck, have lots from when I had my various Tacomas. Just a few picture from work through last winter.

 

Drove up into the mountains of North Idaho to find Horse Haven back country air strip.

 

Funny, when I was out west I used to bitch about BLM rangers. Now being in VA, BLM rangers were not so bad. They actually let people use public lands. Out east, there’s tons of open space but it’s Forestry land. It’s public, but you can only walk through it. Very different policies towards public lands.

 

I’m on the east coast of Canada and all public (Crown) land is free for people to use. There are different levels/types of protected lands that are non motorized though. All roads around here are because of forestry, which I work in so not so bad.

 

Stanislaus NF and first outing w/ 37s. The bigger tires definitely made a difference in comfort offroad but I rubbed a few times in the front on full lock.

 

I took my Tundra across the parking lot dodging pot holes and navigating several speed bumps.

 

You didn’t blow the main bearing did you?

 

I had go look and see if puddle of oil underneath the engine in garage. Everything good. But did use 4 wheel drive on pavement. Its a no no with todays trucks. I recall days of solid front axles. Didn't matter.

 

Nice! Where in Stanislaus NF was this? I was just at Cherry Lake last weekend.

Also what kind camper shell is that?

 

It's a dispersed location off Hwy 108. Was Cherry Lake dispersed or campsite?

 

We usually go to the dispersed camp sites south of the lake right by the river. Not sure about the official Cherry Lake Campgrounds.

 

I’ve been to Cherry Lake and there are trails around you can disperse camp at. I drove through the camp ground but I try not to ever stay at campgrounds. Hwy 108 is a fun area

 

Work this morning after the fog cleared.

 

Started at Bethel Ridge WA and drove 260 miles on section 4&6 of the WA BDR
