Quick trail report. I completed the WABDR from Cashmere to the Canadian border in my stock Tacoma Sport double cab long bed with AT 265/70/17's.
The trail's been cleared out of major downed trees but I did put my reciprocating saw to use in a few areas. Almost immediately heading out of Cashmere there are some really deep ruts that I would have definitely high centered on if I fell in. I had a moment of wandering what I got myself into expecting that this would go on for miles but it was a relatively short distance before the road improved. There is a washout in the section that goes north from Chelan after Fox Mountain. There's is an onsite workaround. I was a little worried about making this section (breakover angle) but I made it thru unscathed. Might be a different story with open diffs had it been wet out.
I was very happy with how my truck did, to be honest a brave soul could get this done in some of the higher clearance Subarus in these conditions. Despite the truck doing well I have the itch to switch into a TRD OR short bed.
