I'm not gonna say you won't get body damage (because that generally leads to someone getting body damage) but if you choose the right line through a lot of the tight sections then you should be ok. You never know though. Evans rates everywhere from easy to most difficult. I've read there are some stock sports and x's coming from wrangler forum so i can't imagine it will be too crazy.

I've only done about 1/3 of Evan's trails and they range from easy/moderate that a stock JK can do to some really crazy tight, steep and way off camber stuff. So long as we stay away from the crazy stuff it will a good deal of fun. There is a rock garden to play in as well with a variety of lines for everyone. And as mdash says choosing right lines greatly reduces the chances of body damage. My only body damage this year was at Evans on the crazy off camber trail #197.

I for one have quite a bit of recovery gear and have used it a bunch of times this year to pull people out, over and even myself around an object; so if someone does get a little stuck we can get them unstuck.

See you @10

Between this and the "other" forum, looks like we have 7-11 jeeps coming out. Everyone has a great attitude about it, all sound very helpful. I'm pretty excited!

I've added two more rig's to the group. Myself and the three others I'm bringing are meeting in Enumclaw at 8:30 for a little breakfast. If we don't make it to wally world by 10 then feel free to leave without us. We will most likely just meet you guys up there. We will be unloading the Samurai at the lowest parking lot, right at the entrance of the road upto Evans. Look for us either there or in the lower lot by the start of 311 and 102. We will be on CB channel 5. A white 2dr JK, a silver Samurai on 37's, a burgandy tj on 35's and a tan stock Tj. Looking forward to meeting and wheelin' with everyone!

Good to hear the bumper is in good shape. The last trail was pretty uneventful. Mostly down hill dropping off rocks and roots. We had to wait for a Landcruiser to fix his starter and clear the trail. Other then that pretty easy. After 520 and 198 most people left. We continued over to attempt 196 and we didn't get far. I tried numerous times but the rocks were too slimmy and I just couldnt get up them. Slid off and jammed my rear bumper in the hillside. Stock bumpers gotta go anyway so no biggy. The Sami made it up after a bit of effort but he was the only one. He turned around and we called it a day ourselves. I'll post pic's later.

Glad we met up with you guys. I'm sure we'll see you guys again soon.
