Host Mike Sabounchi is back with his trusty Lexus GX470 off road build on 35-inch Nitto Recon Grappler A/Ts to see this trail for the first time. Fortunately, he brought along two people who are very familiar with it. First is Chris Corbett of Nitto Tire. He came out in his modestly-built 2019 Jeep Wrangler on 40-inch Nitto Trail Grapplers. Also coming along is Luke Shuman of Hazzard Fab Worx, who brought out his LS swapped Jeep YJ with a CJ nose and 40-inch Nitto Trail Grappler tires.
This is the kind of forest mountain road that is great to learn on and then come back to again and again. Both Chris and Luke have been driving it for decades, and there are always new things to explore. Since it’s only a couple hours outside of Seattle, it’s one of the best Seattle 4x4 trails that you need to hit. There are a bunch of Jeep trails in Washington state, so once you drive this one, keep exploring!
