    W.E. Rock Goldendale: 7/18

    Just saw this thread after a google search. Awesome pics. A hard roll on Sunday morning took us down to 5th place. But we had a blast doing it. Some photos here. https://www.facebook.com/339148485712/photos/pcb.10154403341740713/10154403318650713/?type=1&theater

    Ebay: Refund or Not to Refund?

    If it were me, I would tell him to pay to return ship it back to me and refund the monies. I have had this same exact scenario happen and when they realize how expensive it is to ship said item back, they usually fold. Shipping is expensive.

    Building my own control arms

    Also, are you building custom length control arms? If you are just using stock length control arms, it's easier and cheaper to just buy some aftermarket arms. What with the warranty you get and all...

    Building my own control arms

    I purchased from ballastic back in 09. Yes I received my order on time and am happy with their product, but they burned too many people. I will NEVER do business with them again.

    Reiter open house hosted by the Timber Tamers

    The ENTIRE lower area at Reiter (Lake Isabelle, Sac-UP, mud pits, rock face, stair step, poop chute) are gone. The upper area is very promising. The new trail they built is an "easy" trail. http://seattletimes.com/html/photogalleries/localnews2020379450/1.html If you wanted to walk up to...

    Reiter open house hosted by the Timber Tamers

    Now that I have your attention... the correct date is SUNDAY MARCH 24TH. Sorry for the confusion. There will only ONE trail open. It's along the deer flats road. It is the road you used to use to get to index wall trail.

    Considering move from San Jose, CA to Seattle, WA

    Being in the Military I've been to all four corners of the USA and then some. I really really like the Pacific Northwest. Seattle and the surrounding areas are awesome. Sure, it rains alot, but when it isn't raining its frigging beautiful out here. There is wheeling of every type 2 hours...

    Trailer Advice

    After talking to my buddies today in the motor pool, I stand retarded. Yes, I might use the burb for some local wheelin' but towing two with it that far will kill your truck or kill you. Go big or go home. Rent a U-haul truck and beat the crap out of their equipment. I'm sure you can find...

    Trailer Advice

    I hate to be the devils advocate... Like I said before, I used to tow with a 1/4 ton jeep Grand Cherokee. Did it pull? Yes. I had a class IV hitch on with load bars. Was it safe? **** NO. I knew my limits and never let the trailer take over. My worst ever towing incident was towing with a...

    Trailer Advice

    I'm buying what your selling. If it were me I'd do it for a single trip. Or we could go the Pirate 4x4 route and say that you can't tow anything unless you have a C4500 Kodiak with a built trans and tuned Duramax...

    Is that the year they added the DPF? If so there is your mileage sucker.

    Trailer Advice

    Yes, I know. I was just trying to explain the truck I have and it's capabilities. Just to show that I have the proper equipment to tow this much weight and what it actually takes to do it safely. Like I stated above, while not within spec of the burb I might do it if it were a one time thing...

    Trailer Advice

    Yes I have the duramax in my truck with a mild towing tune on it. Empty my truck averages 22mpg highway and 17city. Towing my normal load of just one jeep I get 13mpg. I could probably get better but with just one jeep behind that truck I tend to drive like a pissed off teenager. Set the cruise...

    Trailer Advice

    Only other pic I have of it. Both rigs are really crammed on there with inches between them. A 26 foot deck would give more wiggle room and if hauling two XJ's probably the shortest you can go with. From Seattle to JV and back we averaged 10.5 MPG best tank was 12MPG through central...

    Trailer Advice

    I frequently haul two rigs. I use a 24 foot deck trailer. Excuse the brief nudity. We were happy to be at In-N-Out Burger. Heading down to KOH with the camper in the truck we crossed the scales at 26,500. Truck is registered for 26,000. Yes we were pushing the GCVWR limits a bit (especially...
