Hey,
I am coming up empty , trying to find places to off road my suburban. All the trails I find are Jeep sized. Anybody know any good places in Washington to do some 'not too serious' trail riding/hill climbing...that won't compress the body panels on my burb?
Also, any people/groups that would be interested in setting up some trips. I hate wheeling alone, with nobody to tow me out of a jam.

Later

I have found that even my shortbed pickup is a little big for serious wheeling, I can't imagine the trouble I would have with a burb! I tore up my crossmember on the last trip because of my long wheelbase and stock ride height, didn't have too much trouble with the width except for on one section. Try searching for websites for groups in your area. We have a site for NC called NC4x4.com so maybe you can find a site like that for your area.

I would be happy to go wheelin' with you but we might have to use the eastern side of Washington to maneuver that 'burb!

plenty of mud right nowplus and hills that a full size can haul a$$ up or slow crawl without any damage..

Thats where I play with my blazer(check signature) on board days.
