Looks great Jesse, Stallone did a clean job.
Your truck made me realize how good flares can look.

I'm

 

It's CBI's carrier. You can custom make one.

 

GSPRunner and I will be meeting Here at 10:00 AM on Sunday the 3rd.

We will essentially be making the same run that the group of us ran the other weekend out of Wilkeson.

We will be continuing up into the mountains for a little fun, hopefully in some snow. The limit of advance (LOA) is this location HERE which provides an incredible view of Mt. Rainier. However, if it's indeed snowy, that will be a very dangerous destination, and I would recommend an LOA of HERE.

Time permitting, I would really like to try and make it to this lake HERE. When I was out there a few weeks ago it looked interesting, and I imagine would make some GREAT pictures for the first snow.

Terrain is managable by a stock 4Runner/Tacoma (probably even in 2wd) weather permitting. Surface condition is a fairly well maintained forest service road (FSR). Chance of pin-striping is nil, unless you go off the FSR in one of the few spots where you can test out your suspension a bit. I cannot speak for the road going to the little lake as I have never been.

Sorry for the short notice. =)

 

Its made by CBI Offroad. Its $350 before shipping. I think you can make it cheaper if you don't want all the features on it though.

I would love to go but I will be working in Tacoma instead. I won't have my truck either. I'll be in my company van, 2wd ford e250 with roof cage. Heavy van, high center of gravity, not much flex, and long. This thing makes Cadillacs look like they have a tight turning radius.

 

I have a non-folding hitch mount tire carrier if you are interested. I was gonna post it on CL for $60 but I would like to get at least $40 or so if any of you guys are interested. I bought it used off of a 4runner a while ago and never ended up using it. It's just collecting dust in my garage right now.

Edit: I am pretty sure its a Curt.

 

So you Northern Seattle guys have no power huh

 

I did a couple hours ago but have been in West Seattle for a bit.

 

We have had flickers all day down here. I'm taking Erica and Levi to the airport here in a bit

 

Here's the NOAA forecast for SNOW in the area we are headed to tomorrow.

Also predicts 80mph wind gusts.

 

Cable just went out... boooo

 

where do you see that? it said N/A right now, or about 11mph.
The is a high chance of snow above 2500' for about 6-11 inches. I'm guessing it's going to be OK since the roads sound OK for normal conditions, so we can monitor weather and back out safely. If you guys are thinking differently, do speak up.


I'll be joining in tomorrow, I need to get out.
