"WET" Coast wheelin

[LieutenantJohnson]

Headed out with the gang for a rip in the rocks/mud. Typical Wet coast day here in BC. First time in the rocks with Tons and 40s. Need deeper gearing for sure. Next on the list.

Was great to get out!

Awesome pictures and love the scenery but it's what makes the PNW such a great place. Anyone who's scared of mud need not apply...

Why are your headlights flashing?

Haha yeah when is it dry up here?

As for the headlights. They are LED. They only flash on camera, not in person.

Hehehe, too bad more people disliked rain or mud like some Jeep people.

That is sort of what I thought but wasn't sure.

Do you wheel with the 4low guys? Looks like it, that scenery is very similar to the vids I have seen previously. Nice pics, Looks like a great spot.

Yeah I have been wheeling with a couple those guys lately. Just this year..

This trail is called "Fuct" located in Mission BC... been wheeling it for past 12 years. Changes every season

That thing is a beast, great shots!

What's powering those 40s? A LS or something I would assume?

You had great traction IMO, what tires you running? Surprised to see a trail through a creek that is like super frowned upon down here.

Yes a 5.3, shorty SS headers, paired with my 6speed. Running both comps for stock gauges. Stand alone for the GM

Running 40x13.5x17 Pro Comp MT2s. They have been great to me so far, even in snow @ 5psi. Especially for the cost for 40s. On this day I was @ 8psi

I really love the width on the tires compared to my last 36s. I am regearing to 5.38s very soon, so should be a lot smoother, like my last setup. I ran out of budget money at the end of my build, the warden stopped me lol

 

[LieutenantJohnson]

Once the borders open, I would love to show some of you the trails up here! WA, OR wheelers...

So this isn't actually a "creek" so to speak. It is a trail named "Fuct". Has a lower and upper part. Upper is fun. It is just a run off trail in extreme water events, which happens often up here lol

With that being said, in Canada we don't have ORV parks, we can wheel anywhere on Crown land for free. Just respect sensitive habits/areas. We are lucky in that way

Would love to take you up on that at some point.

Thanks! Sure is fun to drive

I hope so! Usually bring the BBQ for a lunch on the trail

Count me in. Wonder if its a hassle bringing a wheeler across the border on a trailer?

It is a trail named "Fuct".

Ahhh so it's one of them French-Canadian trails then eh?

Now that sounds fun! Do Canadians not dump garbage at every trail? We used to have a lot more access, still do by @Wildman, but for some reason on the westside the littering douche bags have got most public access shut down. Are you allowed to make new trails as well?

I know some people run them around here, i would say they are working great for you! Oh ya, i can imagine a V8, tons and 40s will get the warden's attention right quick. I try to do a little every month so as to not draw the un-wanted attention. LOL.

No hassles with trailers come in and out, got buddies that do Walker, Naches quite often when the border was open.

Hahha french canadian! That was funny.

Of course we get the odd "bad apple" dumping garbage or abandoning vehicles. We have a really good stewardship organization up here I am involved with, Four Wheel Drive Association of BC. They advocate for our wheeling freedom and often do organized volunteer clean ups at various locations. I fought with local MLAs and worked on a petition with over 1300 signatures from the public, to keep open a lakeside Forestry Camp site with 55 sites. We won and 4WDABC took over management of it. No fees, user maintained.

Yup you know how it goes

Lucky I did my V8 swap last year and tons this year. We also bought a new 20ft travel trailer and had $11k in assessments on our Roof/windows for our Townhome.....this year hurt lol
