Those suggestions sound great. I don't feel like my rig is ready for challenging trails just yetAre you looking for anything challenging, or just a nice wilderness drive? Table Rock Wilderness Area just east of Molalla is a nice area, with mostly maintained dirt roads. All the potentially fun stuff is gated off by BLM, but it's a very pretty area and where we usually go for a quick outing. There are also a lot of roads south of Molalla, if you follow Sawtell Road out of town. Once the pavement ends, there are a lot of roads to explore back there. Some waterfalls, too.

That sounds awesome. I definitely need to get out this weekendWoke up yesterday and decided to go out and scout out some trails with my son. We went in search of Crabtree lake. It is in the Middle Santiam Wilderness between Green Peter and Detroit lake. This route took about 3.5 hours round trip and made for some good fishing once we arrived. The road is fairly easy, only a couple of sections required 4wd, mainly to assist on the steep inclines. Numerous camp sites along the route and near the lake. Unfortunately you can't get into the lake with a rig but it is only about 1/4 mile walk from a large campsite area that multiple rigs could fit into. The camp area has water from Crabtree creek. For a longer route which we have future plans for you could go all the way to Detroit.
Here are a few pics and the GAIA GPS Track:
