![This trail took us EIGHT days to complete! (Washington Backcountry Discovery Route) [ep 141]](/img/1.gif)
Nice truck! I have a 2019 Power Wagon. Hoping to pull a Conqueror UEV14 down tbat trail in a couple years! Got the dream truck, now i gotta save for the dream trailer lol.
Excellent video. Just the right amount of commentary 😉
Wonderful video! The land that you have out west is nothing short of amazing and enviable!
Thanks for watching! There really is a lot of great scenery a long the way. Would make for a really long video to try and show it all.
That looks like a nice trail with enough challenge to keep it interesting without needing a Bigfoot truck to get through. Nice video also, thank you for letting the trail do the talking.
It really is a great trail that is easy going and allows you to enjoy seeing the sites along the way. Thanks for the compliment!
Great video! Enjoyed the section by section views and the technical approaches to the more challenging spots. Did your Toyota buddy have a lift kit on his Sequoia \ Land Cruiser? Thanks again for sharing.
He has the Old Man Emu BP51 Suspension Kit.
There’s a better view from jump off Joe overlooking that Rimrock Lake up Cowiche Road to one of my favorites pretty steep fun place to go
Finally a video with more trail than just getting to a campsite! I do have a question, do you think the whole wabdr is possible in a 1ton crew cab long bed? We plan on hitting this as a family but a few in the group think shes too long for some of the sections.
Definitely a long truck, but I dont think those extra 2 or so feet will make that much difference. You have people pulling off-road trailers through this. No issues anywhere where break over angle would be a concern. Hand full of tight turns that could be problematic but at most maybe a 3 point turn would be needed. Main thing would be width and everything brushing down the sides. I assume you don't mean a dually, that might be a little more interesting on some of the narrower roads.
@offcamberoverland no she's not a dually. Just has a leveling kit with 35s. Rear air suspension for towing and a ladder rack I'm going to modify to carry things! That's super exciting to know it doable!
Great video…I have a sprinter van…you think I can squeeze my rig in on those roads?
I would just be prepared for some pin stripes. My truck fit fine down the roads you just have sections with brush and trees that make it a tight squeeze and they will rub down the sides of your rig. But there wasn't any sections where I was concerned with my full size truck not being able to fit through.
Awesome video! Did you carry 600 miles worth of fuel with you? Or is there a possibility of filling up somewhere in the middle? Thank you.
The route is split up into 6 sections and each one Start/Stops in a town that has gas. Even with a gas guzzler like mine I didn't need any extra fuel, although I did carry a 5gal can just in case.
@@offcamberoverlandThank you very much for the reply.
Great video! We are doing the WABDR next week. If you don't mind me asking, what time did you leave from the bridge of the Gods? I was wondering if we could make it before dark to set camp. We are hitting the bridge around 5pm. Thanks
We left Bridge of Gods around 9am. We got up to Bethel Ridge in Section2 around 5:30pm. Main stops in Section 1 were for lunch and to check out the Guler Ice Cave. I would say it took us a little over 3hrs to get to Guler Ice caves so if you are leaving at 5pm and want to camp before dark you are probably going to want to be looking for camp spots in that area.
Thank you so much for the info.
Do you think it’s doable in a 2wd or do you think you need to have 4wd?
I was in 2wd for over 95% of the trip. I used 4wd through the small section of ruts and mud coming off Bethel Ridge. Rest of time was more for convenience than a need. I guess it would depend on your comfort level for risk. Having good weather and dry trails would be highly recommended if only a 2wd vehicle.
@@offcamberoverland thanks that’s great news
