Is the entire state of Washington staying home this weekend? I'm hoping to go scope out the Liberty /Table Mountain Fire area, but our schedule is so up in the air I can't make plans at the moment. Eric

Joy and I were out at Walker on Saturday riding around on the dirt roads, learning how to get around and exploring new areas. On our way out we were passed by Fire/Rescue crews responding to a Wild Fire. I did have a camera with me, but didn't think to snap photos of the smoke. Today, I...

I know it's short notice, but my junk is nearly trail ready again (Been a BUSY summer). I anticipate fixing things tonight and tomorrow night, then Daily Drive it to work for the week before an off-road shakedown at Walker. Anyone Interested?

Good Evening, KA-BOOM is what started this off. I lost the Tail Cone off my T-Case Saturday as it cracked around all 3 mounting bolts, and it sheared off 3 of the 4 strap bolts on the Pinion Yoke. The driveshaft is still looking good, minus 2x brand new U-Joints that just went through hell...

Help! I want to make NWFest this year, but, once again work is, well, getting crazy just like last year. I worked 3 months straight 10 to 16 hours a day to get projects done, and, it's all happening again. Good for the paycheck, bad for trying to make NWFest. So, what I've got is a 1995 XJ...

Howdy guys, this year, I'm making it to NW FEST dangit! One question: I trailer my XJ in an 8' x 24' enclosed car hauler, maybe 10' tall max. Once rolled out, the trailer is then my camper. Are the roads wide enough to get this beast down? Will I be adding fresh pinstripes? it's an...

Well, it's been an interesting summer in my weeks away from the Jeep. First, we went "Off Road" in Belize in a golf cart in San Pedro where we found locals feeding the locals: Then, we went "Off Road" in Europe, the Middle East (Turkey and Isreal) and Africa (Egypt) Betcha can't tell where...

Anyone up for a possible August 22nd day-trip? Walker was fun, wouldn't mind wheeling there again. Reiter would be fun to play at. Somewhere new would work too. Paul, my buddy is probably in. He's a good Walker Tour Guide too! Open to suggestions. Thanks, Eric

My kids are coming in from out of town to visit and I promised my son (10 years old) I'd take him 4 wheeling. I've got a friend and myself that are going, and we hope to have a few of you come along. We are meeting at the Blue Bird Cafe in Arlington @ 8am for breakfast, out by 8:45 and on...

So, yeah, this thread WAS the "NWFest Winch / bla bla bla" note... but since NWF has passed, i had to change the topic. SO after 3 weeks of work without a day off, 2 friends getting hospitilized, and some personal junk going on, I FINALLY got a day to myself for some Zen-Like XJ activity...

I'm eagerly anticipating the barrage of NWFest photos since I spent the weekend working and taking care of sick friends. I was curious if there is one particular place, or a "Best Place" for the as-yet-to-come Photos? Thank-You Eric

I live in Edmonds, work in Everett, and am looking to pick up 2x shackles on the way home tonight. Does Home Depot / Lowes carry them? I've never looked there before. :wierd: Anywhere else you'd recommend? Fastenal in the Muk? Tacoma Screw on Airport Rd? Thanks, Eric Jeep with Junk.

Sorry for the low detail, but , these are iPhone Pictures. I'll post up some real nice quality pictures tonight. After looking at the front end with the Fascia still attached, I decided it all needed to go! Stock bumper and brackets were mashed bad by the last owner rear-ending a car in a...

OK, Dumb question time. I have a 95 with the D35 with C-Clips. If I weld the spider gears (Welding only to themselves, not to the carrier) and I break an axle, is that clip still accessable? I've been thinking about it for a while as I have a "Spare" (Never Used) Lock-Rite new in the...

1987xjgirl proposed a Meet and Greet a few weeks back, but with short notice. She tried to re-set the date for this Friday, but used the old thread to try to get the info out. With good will and high hopes I'm kicking off a new thread on behalf of 1987xjgirl for the M&G in the hopes that...

OK, so y'all probably arn't as excited as I am, but, I just got a message from my gf that "There's a really big, heavy box on the porch. It says Detours on it..." I can't wait to get home and open the box! I spoke to Mark @ Detours and he customized a Backbone System to accept my Warn 8274...

Hey, are there any plans to have a Tech Inspection a few weeks before the event, just to give us newer folks a chance to get our junk fixed before the Actual Tech Inspection begins? We used to do that back in Wisconsin in the 4x4 club I was in. We'd meet at a guys shop and we'd roll rigs...

Ahhhhh, the good old A-team. I pity the foo! LOL So I've been planning my El-cheap-o El-Jeep-o build for a while now, drawing on lessons learned from my prior ride: a 1989 XJ that I bought used with 8.5" of "Piggybacked" lift circa 1990, Stock open axles F/R, and big ole' 35" meats. I...

He y'all, I'm at the point now where I NEED something to mount my winch to. I have a used Warn 8274 and will be making an adaptor plate. A while back, there was a thread I started (Can't seem to find it now) in which someone sent me a link to a bolt-in structure that retained the stock front...
