Oregon and Washington BS thread

lol, just messing. But you better not wake my ass up at 6am

 

Off y'alls topic but any of ya running a U-bolt flip kit? I just got hung up on a rock... It's time to upgrade.

 

LOL Lee I say you drive to camp early as hell and start honking your horns!! I will try to make it to Saturdays run but can't stay out that late..maybe be done/back by 5? If that's possible then I will TRY

Anywho why is there still light at 9 at night??

 

I'm running Trailgear's ubolt flip kit.

 

Yeah I'm going to order that!

 

Yep as soon as I get home! Want my tubes? Lol

 

where are those pictures taken? on base or somewhere else?

 

Kaena point, kinda pissed that there was no mud

 

Hey Joe I went back out to that same area in Vernonia for some more exploring. I ended up exiting the roads into Scappoose!

I found a lot more trails, some just as crazy and a few that were a bit nicer. I avoided most since the muddy trails didn't have any good winching points, and the other trail I went on was supposed to be for an ATV and I had to turn around Here's some pics of an easy trail I took - poser flex shots!









Nothing out there as far as the eye can see.

 

How do you normally clean up your engine compartment after getting all that mud up in there? Or do you clean it ?

 

Hey mike looks like a pretty sweet place. When did you head up there? I Hope the weather gets better than this crap for the trip. How you liking those new springs BTW?

 

Springs seem to be doing pretty good. They provided enough correction that I don't rub anymore, heh.

I went out there on the 26th on a whim. Had to get away from the house. I'll have to go back some time with some of you, but it would be better after those trails have some time to dry - first, vehicles are really destructive to muddy trails, and it looks like the locals have been pretty harsh; and second, a little mud goes a long way (I'm sure Joe agrees).
I don't get real touchy feely about Eco stuff, but the area out there is pretty much clay and grass, so it erodes easy. If you look at TSF, the trails have roots, rocks, and is typically resistant in comparison. This area is owned by the logging company who doesn't really maintain anything they can't gate, so there's no repairs either. As it stands, many of the areas will most likely have us scraping bottoms with the ruts that are already created. Once things dry, our impact is lessened and we can still enjoy
One of the trails was an interesting powerline, though, that looked OK to do... I'll try keeping it in mind for the event after TSF

 

Well thank god you didn't turn into a dunkin donuts

 

Sounds like he was just checking your shit out. If he wanted to pull you over, he would have gotten you.

 

Haha. He was just seeing if he could get you to freak out. lol

 

How'd that oil leak turn out in the runner?

 

Engine is ready to pull on Saturday. It appears something is leaking on the back of the head. But nearly certain the rear main is leaking as well.

I'm going to pull it no matter what and just make sure everything else looks good and such. Shouldn't take too long.
