So I just got my rig and I hear this place is a good spot for new guys, anyone ever go? Anyone feel like going with me? I'm wondering if a stock rig will make it through or if I'm going to need a lift and tires first? Info would be great if anyone wants to go that would be awesome, a chance to get some of us together that are down this way.

i met a guy at my burger joint one day with a stock turbo wagon, he said he goes there a lot. when are you thinking of going?

[mudER wagon]

Any given Sunday, only days I have off, maybe even next weekend if a stocker can ride through there, you interested in going?

[wagonryan]

yeah you should be fine. Tahuya is a pretty easy loop. I've been there a few times. My only advice for a stock rig is to not drive through mud lake lol. the benefits vs the risks don't add up. I'd be interested in heading out there some time when I get my lift all done.

[mudER wagon]

the more the merrier in my book, i might just head out there next weekend on sunday maybe if there is more interest from the people down here, we could network, and schedule a run in a way more people could go.

Me, personally. Would not take a stock rig through there. You will BEAT that thing up If it's stock and on 13" tires. Especially the trails that i was taken on up there, now there could be smoother, easier ones that i didnt go on. I went there with a 2" lift and some 215s and rubbed like a son of a b**** ... The only reason why I wouldn't go there stock is because one, it's not gonna be that fun. You're gonna have a hard time crawling over stumps & rocks because you have no clearance nor any traction .. Two, you're in a stock rig, with stock tires and there just isn't any actual "wheeling" involved with a stock rig ..

Not trying to dog on your wheeling trip or bring ya down but that's just my two cents . Ill have my new wagon back on the ground by tomorrow, hopefully. I've got a 6" on mine so if you guys wanna go play I'd be willing to tag along so no one gets stuck .

Id be down to go, but im stock as well. Im sure I could get some of my buddys to go too, we all live in or around tenino and all have subies.

Good to know, if I have to drive around stuff I will hopefully I will be ordering a lift from bill this week, and with any luck I'll be able to find some wheels and tires on the cheap, I'm thinking next sunday on the 10th would probably allow me time to get put together, especially if I could get some extra help haha, also if anyone is up to it I figured we could all meet in the sears parking lot of the Tacoma mall on that day so we could all ride up there together. Anyone who is interested go ahead and shoot me a text or pm or a call

just buy some forester struts from the pick and pull and get an easy 2-3" and some peace of mind! I went there with forester xt struts and 27" tires so I was about 4.5" over stock and I didn't get stuck, that was in the summertime though.. I bet its pretty slick back there now.

If you end up getting a lift kit and need some help let me know. I'm over here on South Hill. I pretty much put my whole 6" lift on my new wagon by myself yesterday .

[mudER wagon]

Hey thanks bro I'm ordering a 2 inch from bill later today, and picking up some 15 inch toyotas from markjw as well just gonna need help with a 6 lug swap here pretty quick hoping to have it all together this weekend

[mudER wagon]

Got my lift ordered and my wheels got hubs in the works now I just need some good tires on the cheap!

[mudER wagon]

If anyone's got a set of 215/70-15s for cheap thatd be awesome just need the tires....

[Skylar]

Right on man. Sounds like a good little setup

[mudER wagon]

All said and done I'm hoping so

[mudER wagon]

So it looks like I might have got ahead of myself, I don't think I'm going to be all together next Sunday I'm low on cash and can't get a set of tires so it'll have to wait till next payday haha but it'll come!

[espey_16]

Why don't you go to pick a part? They have tires for dirt cheap, I was just there Sunday looking at tires.

[Skylar]

Yeah PNP might have some decent all terrains but I doubt you'll find a complete matching set. But ya never know. Also, have you been searching CL ? That's where I've got deals on all my tires

[mudER wagon]

Yeah I've been looking through both, just haven't found the right deal BUT markjw has got me hooked up so we should be good still for those of you who plan to go, meet me at the sears parking lot of the Tacoma mall on Sunday the 17th @ 9am WE ARE DOING THIS!

[mudER wagon]

Alright guys I'm lifted who's down for going to tahuya this Sunday!?!?

[Skylar]

Did you get some decent A/Ts or Mud Terrains ? Also, do you have a D/R ?

[mudER wagon]

A/ts yes push button 5 mt d/r swap is next but if tahuya is as chill as I hear shouldn't I be fine with out it for now?

[Skylar]

I guess there's only one way to find out lol I believe there's some milder trails we can go on

[mudER wagon]

So your down to go then?
