names nick, i have a 93 ford bronco xlt 5.0L, soldier in the U.S. ARMY

im doing tons of work and add ons to my bronco and im looking for good trails for full size vehicles and even a good group to go with

Welcome! Are you ready for more trailer rash?!? Lol. A lot of the trails that I've seen can handle a full size rig, but there are occasional 'pinch points' that'll getcha...

It's always better to go with a group, ones with winches and patience in case you need either... Any time I've gone out with a group from here, we never leave a man behind, whatever it takes...

Evans creek, and Elbe Wa are the two trails I've been to down in your area, and they're always a blast! From my limited experience, winches and lockers are your two best friends!

Welcome to the site and to Washington. Trails here are tight for a full size if you want to keep it nice. A good group to hook up with would be the quadrapaws out of the bremerton area. They are also the steward's of the tahuya trail system which is full size friendly. You can reach them by following the link in my SIG line then go to clubs region 2.

Welcome, tahuya is a great place to begin.evans is tight.so is alot of elbe.so en less your ready for some pnw pin striping I'd not run those two.but there's tons of fs roads all over to go explore. Just never go alone.:hi:

Love me some Broncos. Here is my 96. I havnt taken it to Evans Creek...yet, but since I only live 5 miles away, I should try at least once. Plenty of logging roads to take it on around me, so never felt a huge need to wheel it hard. Surprise Lake and Clipper Mine trails would be fine in a bronco, and not far from Evans.

Surprise would pin stripe the hell out of a full size rig

thats just brush rash. Not like a rootball into a quarter window at Evans. I've seen a suburban up at Surprise. I have a buddy that really wants to take a brush cutter with him to surprise and cut the brush back at the top. Heck, I had my old 78 van up as far as the waterfall.

Welcome to the NW and mountains. Full size rigs are awesome. Find a good wet side group and start wheeling. Thanks for your service.

Please don't brush out that trail. We don't need it getting any more attention that it already gets.

Busy Wild at Elbe is full size friendly and is super fun at night. Go during the middle of the week and it wont be as busy and you will have the whole place to yourself.

You're Welcome.

I have a 83 K5 with 1 tons and 42s and run elbe all the time and if you play your cards right you can do evans, but now have a JK, ha alot easier to make the tight spots.

If he actually does that and we have to go rescue him, I'm going to pee in your garden.

To the OP, DO NOT GO INTO THE BUSYWILD WITH THAT TRUCK.
