I was thinking of heading up this upcoming weekend. I might push it off until later when the snow is more melted. Thanks for this video, it makes me want to head up there even more!

Good times Offroad, get a Detroit locker in that rear diff, will help you immensely. I had one in my 1985 full size Bronco, bullet proof 9 inch,, 2 WD most of the day. Have fun

Been up there a few times. Last group run we had a diesel f250 that made it up too. It is tight in a full size though.

I assume you go in from opposite side cle elum then find start point.

Thanks for posting this. I was there today in a 2" lifted F-150 with 34" tires, and decided against going through 3:40. Did you hit your diff? I will probably try again with a couple of maxtrax to the right of that rock.

It sounds like I might have hit it. Better wheel placement or a spotter would have mitigated that. Also, you could just throw a rock down in there.

I’ve lived in Washington state my 45 years never been to that spot. How does one get to it? Thank you

Do you have the electric E locker that Ford has on this truck? If so doesn't look like it's engaging? Once that back tire comes up it just spins and you teeter totter and stop. Acting like a open diff? I've saw in another video you mentioned the E locker in a comment so wondering if it's just that crappy or what haha. I have the same truck with E locker so just wondering. Haven't tried it out fully yet though.

@@simpleinstinct So after some research, apparently if you go over 20 mph it'll disengage or it should, and if you let it roll backwards at all it disengages. And takes a bit for it to re engage. Sounds like a air locker would be the better route and stay locked. But it came with the truck so I'll use it till it breaks haha

air down to 15 psi front 10 psi back you probably would of make it even with open diffs!

The snow was too deep. Airing down wasn't going to help this time.
