I know, just giving my two cents of knowledge about Manke Lumber. I worked for them right out of high school but that was 16 years ago. Getting them to give anybody motorized access to their land is extremely unlikely. That being said, it's hard to fault a guy for trying.

If possible you probably want to talk to Matt Manke. He is the son of one of the two Manke's that founded the company. He is also into motorized recreation and has friends that are also. He's probably your best bet at making a case. He's about as far up in the company as you're gonna get without...

Hey Olywa, having a short wheelbase doesn't mean you have small tires. I am running 36's on my Sami with only about 3 inches more than stock wheelbase and thinking about going bigger. If you are in a full size then you are probably the one blocking the trails when your **** doesn't fit through...

I agree, Tahuya is a nice place to ride motorcycles just not that fun to wheel there. I still don't want it or any place to close though, even if I don't frequent them some people still enjoy these areas.

Elbe by far. Tahuya, other then the newer man made obstacles which are fun, is a joke. A few hours at Tahuya and you are bored but you can wheel all day at Elbe and have fun. If Tahuya is in your back yard then great but if you've got to trailer in like I do then go to Elbe or Evans Creek. Just...

It looks to me that they ruined a good hill. It used to deny 49s on high powered buggies and now a jeep with 35s cruises right up. It looks like a rock quarry puked down the hill, real bumpy but not that hard. It is a little scary if the powers that be think that is a severe trail. Just my .02.

That is true I have done it that way many times but then I cut the 20 footers down to 10s and just used one on every corner.

The way that I understood the law, every corner must have a binder also. That is the way that I hauled all my equipment, I personnally would never just bind one end. I guess that it might be legal but I wouldn't bet a sizable fine on it unless I knew that it was.

I'm not sure just how much heavy equipment hauling that you have done but the State Patrol would frown heavily on this way of binding down equipment. If it weighs over 10k lbs then you must have a chain on every corner and one on every moving piece of it (the bucket, boom, etc.). I know that...

Yeah, you are right about the ride, my grandpa drives a chevy, he loves it. :fawkdancesmiley: Just messin with ya, I have not problem with GM I just don't like ifs and I like a little taller truck. There are pro's and con's to every brand you just have to buy what ya like.:D

I had a '96 Dodge before I bought my '02 Ford, it was a good truck but the cab is way to small if you have a family. Ford has an awesome cab with lots of room and 4 full size doors. Even the '03 and newer Dodge (except the ugly mega cab) have a small crew cab with smaller doors. I would buy...

I only got out twice last year, I had a lot of stuff going on and both my usual wheelin' buddies gave it up. I hope this year is a bit better. I don't even want to wheel every weekend, 8 or 9 times in a year is fine with me. I can only remember 1 time in about 17 years of wheeling that I rode...

x2 on the welded carrier, but have someone who really knows what they are doing weld it, no crappy booger welds.

Dove'd beat me to it

A rear locker first, then a winch would be a good choice. You would be surprised how well your runner will do with just a rear locker. I wouldn't lock up that ifs front end you would be asking for trouble. The trick is learning the capabilities of your rig when you're wheeling a dd, as to not...

I'm guessing that you're on a pretty tight budget. If so just put a locker in your runner and play around on some easy stuff until you get out of school. If not then a semi-built Toy will be perfect for ya.:;

Seriously though, my vote would be a basic Toyota wheeler, small lift, lockers, and t-case gears or doubler. Put some 35 or 36s on it and learn how to wheel. That would be a good platform you could build on. :D

Brat, no way I would start with one of those 4WD Eagle cars from the 80's.:redneck:

I agree first buggy I remember seeing with rockwells and 44s it was bad ass.

I just got what you meant with that pic. That is a hack job and I no way condone that. I did say build it safe.:D
