Good night tonight! I met up with Joe at the USFS visitor center and we ran Cascade Creek. This trip was to decide if I wanted to lead any stock vehicles on this trail. My answer is no. It is a fun trail for a mild build, and/or someone who has run a few trails. Although, I would consider a full size on 31s capable enough for the terrain.

Anyway, I got to see Joe's Ranger flex out those F-150 springs. It looked a little bouncy at times, but those coils did compress at lower speeds. I took a couple videos. In the long vid his clutch was slipping. After he let the clutch cool down, those sploder leafs and F-150 coils tracked along pretty nice!

BTW, we did not get lost. We used our MVUMs from the Forest Service. :)

I don't remember cascade looking like that but hey was going the opposite direction too! Funny how travel direction of a trail can look so different!

We had a few more "stock" trucks run this trail today. Maybe they can toss in their two cents. :)

had I not had carb issues today it would be perfectlly fit for a stocker that is willing to accept that they may get minor body damage though I don't think anyone today did

well i know it didnt seem half as challenging the second time through,part of me thinks because mike and i had the sun right in our eyes the whole way up! also seemed a heck of a lot shorter too! .

I did not have any trouble with the trail and cannot see body damage unless you are aiming for trees:thumbsup:

Depends on what you are driving anf your driving style the potential is there especially for a lower clearence vehichle I saw a few places where you could potentially have body damage or tear a sidewall I tend to be a little conservative I suppose
