is redmond the type of place a novice can go to and basically trail hike with the truck? No rock climbing etc?

Trails start at 40 minutes East on I90 or US2 highway. According to onX there are some challenging ones but I have only done forest roads during break-in period and while I’m getting to know vehicle.

Assuming you're referring to Redmond Oregon. The cascades surround us, so there are fire roads all over the place. Some areas can get pretty banged up and become a challenge due to snow melt. North of Redmond there's some neat fireroads around Lake Billy Chinook, to the west I really like the trails near santiam pass (look for cache mountain), and down south past Bend is the lava cast forest which has some cool roads.

Hello

 

[BluesCruise421]

Good copy! I’ll be pulling a Mammoth overland trailer, camping in the general camping area with my kids and a few buddies. My LC will have an Inspired Overland RTT on top, stop by for a drink!

Hope to see other forum PNWers too -

Jake how did the expo go? I wasn't able to make it. Also if the LC do okay pulling the mammoth?

Lot of PNW Cruisers out there, couple of us were thinking of rallying in the greater Seattle area for Cruisers and Coffee on a Saturday or Sunday AM.

I’m out in North Bend and we’ve got a few good spots for breakfast and coffee. I’d recommend South Fork for great atmosphere and good coffee/breakfast or lunch/beer on a nice weather drive day.

Eat, Drink, Gather - South Fork

Let’s wait until the weather gets a little better, maybe late April or May? South Fork has a big overflow grass lot behind it where we can line up any rigs that show up, then grab coffee or beers and mull around like the overland/LC nerds our spouses accuse us of being.

I’ll confirm with SF that we’re good to meet up there. Toss out some dates if anyone has restrictions -

Just checking in… I met this other person today at Safeway with a really nice LC250 with Methods-lift-et al’s . He had his whole truck matted with ppf so the trail dust looked like a matte color. . It was really different. I should have taken pictures! The ppf was applied to the entire vehicle. Just wondering if he visits this site? I think Andy was his name? He had a lift compare to mine which the different seemed to makes the vehicle twice as big!!!! It was pretty sweet compared to mine (atteched)
