The Fellowship of PNW Tacomas | PDX Area Wheeling

It was great finally getting out and putting names and faces to some TW handles.

It was a super fun day and I’m really glad we ran 197 at the end of the day. Was fun to get stuck a few times. Thanks for showing me around!

no problem! Always happy to give a spot! Great meeting you!

 

This is awesome

 

Here’s one of the drone shots

 

Great meeting y'all yesterday. Definitely a fun time wheeling. As a recent transplant it's nice to have a small community.

 

check your ball joints, I need to replace my uca ball joint... been too lazy to tackle it, but I'll have to next weekend

 

7/17/21 POTLUCK CANCELED

I must have picked a bad day. As of this morning we only had 2 confirmed attendees for the potluck this Saturday, aside from myself.

With this in mind I have sadly decided to cancel this meetup

I don't mind at all if we get a small turn out for a wheeling meet up. Worst case, I'm going wheeling alone

This event on the other hand was going cost me a not insignificant amount of money to host. That was cool if we got good attendance, but with this few people coming out it was much less worth it.

We will have to try again another time, maybe.

 

In for a 5 tire rotation at the Discount Tires in Hillsburrito. Noticed a nice 3rd Gen getting some new shoes and socks. Saw it had brand new ICON suspension, and looked like a new set of ICON wheels going on.

 

Yeah, I had to switch to not being able to attend. Wife really really wants to get out of town, and as we all know, "happy wife, happy life"

 

Well, thats a bummer. I was hoping for better results too..

 

I might be down for a lil wheelin on this weekend. Any place i can handle with my long bed. I have my 4 kids that will be tagging along. I need to get them all away from their iPads.

 

I was thinking of driving Bennet Pass Road up by Mt Hood Meadows, and going out to Badger Lake. I am free Saturday or Sunday morning. I’ve done this route a few times and it’s certainly on the easier side and doable in a longer bed.

Anyone trying to meet up?

 

Im down for Saturday to Badger. Or any where else.

 

Got my sticker on.

 

Anyone know what the rules are about accessing the power line roads at lolo pass? I want to run it but don’t want to get busted if it’s not allowed.

 

On the Portland side of the pass most of the roads are fairly well gated and signed so I've generally skipped it. While I disagree with the size of the watershed area I try to avoid messing with it. Once you cross the pass I think all the power line road is good to go and fairly well maintained.

If you go far enough toward Dee (past the Vista ridge trail turn off) you can take the power line road that is fairly rough. I haven't explored that way very well but Google maps shows the road going out somewhere I know has a very locked gate.

 

Anyone wanna help install this?

 

Oh man, I did a thing this morning... Wallet isn't stoaked but I sure as hell am. Time to put my big boy pants on and chop off my rear suspension!

 

@Adobada Tacos I can help you, but it will be a bit late this evening.

Sexy

 

always happy to pick up a wrench; I'm in Vancouver and will be free after 6pm; PM me if you're keen; I have space and tools but also willing to meet you
