The TWAT is the closest thing we have to a BDR. But do Broncos fit? Definitely planning to run it with my Tiger this fall.

I'm following this one. Agreed it's the only thing close to me, other than Shawnee.

I've seen videos of Jeeps with some pretty wide stances going through, so I don't think I have many reservations on trying.

Yeah, stock a base is ~12" wider than a TJ, but the JKs and JLs are closer to our size. I know the Jeep guys call it a sunday drive.

Nuts isn't it? I'd give up about half of that in a heartbeat if it meant squeezing down narrower trails.

So true! Just because Pontiac said wider is better doesn't mean all things need wide tracks

If it helps, you can go to Seattle and ride the SLUT & get the shirt. (South Lake Union Trolly)

I was browsing their website and they mention Jeeps and overlanding a few times, but they make it seem like some of the trails are not designed for full size vehicles. Hopefully someone with experience will chime in!

I've read through some of the wrangler forums and it sounds like there are parts of the trail that Jeeps can't access.

Thanks to OP I've been lost in the hole that is YouTube and Google regarding the TWAT.... I had never heard of it. I'm only about an hour from the start, going to have to check it out!

It looks like maybe the far northern parts are a little snug on width, but easy was around I guess and it's not for very long!

From what I have seen from youtube videos, there are definitely trails that are over grown with trees and brush, and unless some clearing has been done there will be significant scratching from tree branches. Good news is the trail is broken into small pieces and can be by-passed by blacktop roads. Here is a link to a youtube video from last year. At the 8:30 mark is the spot were in past years has been totally blocked.
also the 8:08 mark of the second.
