how many people wheel full size trucks in tri-cities? i bought my f-150 because i had a ranger and i wasnt impressed with it off road. and ive always been a fan of the 73-79 body style. i like bigger trucks, and in most cases i find it more capable off road than my friends built jeep or ranger

where do you wheel at might i ask?
in the open desert ive found it to be true but in the hills watch out (heavy and wide)

The KGH land out at Hover just got shut down, so watch it out there. We're in a bit of PR discussion with them, and don't need any fuel added to the fire. Wasn't the wheelers, but...

Not sure just what area is affected, but they do have the right to lock it down...We're working on it.

I am in Yakima and have a full size. There is some great wheel for full size rigs at the Ahtanum State Forest if you are into snow wheelin' (Note some trail/roads open only to snowmobiles until April). I have a XJ to fit on most of the good mountain trails.
Welcome.
