Oregon and Washington BS thread

there was a decent amount for this early in the season i guess. the main highways were all plowed, but barlow road was closed, and the other road I went on had a good amount. It was a little slushy and I was sliding around a bit in 4hi, but it wasnt too bad.

 

Interesting! Are there any good/decent trails up there? Only one I've heard of is Barlow and that's because I hear you guys talking about it. Did you, by chance, go boarding as well? I haven't been yet this season and don't think I'll make it

 

Ugh... packing up the jeep to start the drive out. Should be in Salem by Wednesday night.

 

Drive safe

 

Thanks. As of right now all the roads seem dry and safe.

 

yup i was up there to go boarding, and on the way back to portland i just so happened to see a sign that said BARLOW ROAD. haha, so i decided to go check it out. got a pass to meadows this year and i gotta say im pleased so far, its my last year getting it at the cheaper price for people under 22, so im gonna enjoy it more. I was up and sunday and it had dumped the night before, like 10" i think, and it was snowing the entire time I was there so it was a nice powder day. No parks were open but meadows did get new RFID gates, so all you gotta do is swipe your pass and your through.

also just remembered, there was a long line of cars to get into the lot, like 40mins maybe. We had come to a stop so i guess this guy lost momentum, but he was in a 4x4 ranger just sliding around in the middle of the road. He was only in 2wd, i could see the 4x4 sticker on the back, and since his front wheels werent moving I could tell they were duratracs. He was causing even more of a backup, and was directly in front of oncoming traffic. Just kept poking his head out the window watching his back tires spin. This is the third time ive seen someone in a 4x4 doing this. Why?

Hey everyone haven't posted in a while i am in Portland area is there ever meet and greets or wheeling trips planned or anything? i have an 06 taco and the wife has an 04 4runner love to meet other yota people

 

Welcome! We have runs/meet and greet here and there. Nice truck and runner. Does your wife have a wreath in front of her runner now? Random question, I know lol

 

Speaking of wreaths...

 

Yeah it went on the other day also have one on the taco

 

I've been on here for a while just rarely post I think I found it long time ago looking for write up on baking my headlights

 

Yeah I used to have a 92 4runner that was SAS'ed and rear leafed on 36" bfg mud ta sold that once I got married and had a little one I got an 04 double cab then moved to the 06 double cab

We usually go wheeling at browns we have quads also

 

Lol were you guys or was she at kohls on Sunday out in Hillsboro? Saw a runner that looks like your wife's there. Was going to park next to it but I saw a white taco in the back parking lot that I parked next to instead lol

Bobert, same one from last year? How do you guys mount them on the grille as I want one for my truck also.

Zach..wheeling on the 15th now?

 

Let me know I have a buddy that works at America's tire in Hillsboro or off 185th might be able to save you some cash

Yep that was us Xmas shopping

 

Weird!! You guys have a nice 4Runner! I believe we left at the same time..do you remember being behind a speedway blue taco as you were leaving the parking lot? Because you guys were behind me lol not trying to be creeper status but I remember because, like mentioned, its a nice runner.

 

I've seen your wife driving around as well. I too have a 4th Gen 4runner.

Hope to see you around!

Literally just sent that link to my dad. The little brother sent his pickup through a fence and dad hasn't decided if he wants to put money into yet...

Just means you have to air down more. Their Toyo M/T's. 5psi and you'll be good.
