    Tires?

    I like both wheels, maybe the one without the holes a little more they look like military beadlocks. If you're worried about braking you can always upgrade the brake system with performance rotors, pads and calipers and really if you're looking to run 37's and pull a heavy trailer that might...

    Tires?

    I'm running these on my WJ and like them so far, but i have no experience with them on my pickups... I do have a co worker who has a set on his F350 CC longbox (35x12.5R20 maybe), he only has about 10k miles on them with some of that being a trip to Utah and back pulling a 40ft gooseneck...

    A Tradesman for off pavement travel/dispersed camping.

    I run the 285/75R18 on all of my F250's (7 at the moment) for the farm and really like the size. Tall and skinny so they fit on stock rims nice, the first couple pickups i put leveling kits on but I have a few without and there is no rubbing. Toyo offers most of their line in that size. I know...

    US Northwest Tri-Cities Recurring Monthly Meetup

    Sweet! I'm a big Bombing Range fan and been a mug club member for a couple years. The owners and their kids that work there seem pretty good. If we are in there early enough with a group we shouldn't be too disruptive to business and if we are buying food and drinks i don't think they'll...

    US Northwest Tri-Cities Recurring Monthly Meetup

    I'm pretty sure the side room (to the left of the front door) allows kids and outside on the patio, but might be on the cold side for little ones this time of year. Another option if we all like breweries is Moon shot, the new one off of Gage. I've haven't been there yet so I don't know about...

    US Northwest Tri-Cities Recurring Monthly Meetup

    I should be able to make it. Been working on the house a bunch since our last meet up so it'll be nice to get out on a Saturday and do something. Maybe I'll have to make it a me weekend and work on the Jeep after the meetup since I think my new radiator and the rest of my parts will show up...

    The Tri-Cities Clubhouse

    Oregon Coast Ideas?

    Early May I will be over on the Oregon coast (Seaside) with my wife's family for 4-5 days, was wondering if anybody knows of any good drives or easy trails up in the coastal mountains? Been up and down the coast a few times and have hit most of the key attractions along the highways so looking...

    Tri Cities checking in!

    Thanks for taking charge in the Tri cities, let me know if there is anything I can help with along the way. As for a local logo I'm thinking the OB badge with a radioactive Symbol in the middle "Glow and Explore"

    New to exploring PNW

    I like to bring a little wood with me when I go then collect once I'm there. Been a few times early in the year I haven't brought any and struggled to find good dry stuff to get a fire going or have got into camp late and had to look for wood in the dark. Then when I'm collecting for the trip...

    Roof rack question

    I have the Rolla from Amazon as well but with the extension in it. It's easy to install and as far as affordable baskets go it seems to be decent quality. I used some silicone at the joints for the extension and on the screws to help keep water out. Definitely not a super high end baskets but...

    Hey all! New guy post!

    Welcome to OB and the TC, I'm in Kennewick as well. Like @PNW EXPLR said our ranks here in the area seem to be growing with everyone interested in getting some group activities going. We just had our first meet up last weekend so things are still a work in progress but I think with the group...

    Eastern Washington, where you at?

    Depending on what weekend and when my radiator shows up, I might be interested in a Moses lake trip.

    US Northwest Eastern Washington and Eastern Oregon Meet and greet at Porters

    I was looking forward to checking out some of your fab work, maybe another time though. My Grand will miss the meetup as well but it's partially my fault for not opening the box my new radiator came in until 2 days ago, finally opened it and was greeted with a bent up radiator. Looks like I'll...

    Favorite Overland Mods

    I figured you were aware of these, just thought i would throw it out there since no one had mentioned them. If you have the tools and the fab skills it wouldn't take much to build one yourself that worked with the mods you already have and it would probably look better.

    2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland Build

    On my 2000 Wj I'm currently doing some of the same stuff you are with improving the cooling system. When I started getting things apart I noticed one of the PO had put in an auxiliary trans cooler ran in series with the cooler in the radiator and it got me pondering the idea of just plugging...

    US Northwest Eastern Washington and Eastern Oregon Meet and greet at Porters

    I don't know much about rock hunting but I was going to suggest to you the Savage Island area aka Ringold. The area is really similar to what you'll find off of fir rd. Old stomping ground of mine from high school many of beers drank down there and pickups stuck in the mud. But the bluffs...

    Just another WJ

    Well between forgetting tools at the shop, having 3 xmas' to go to and being out of town over the weekend I didn't get near as far as I wanted. But it's now mostly tore down. With the next 2 days off hopefully I can get the timing set done and get it slapped together with all the new stuff...

    Eastern Washington, where you at?

    For anyone interested there is a meet up @ Porter's BBQ in Kennewick this weekend (1-4). RP has been made and another thread started with some details and link to the RP. I'm sure we will cover some trip planning ideas and the prospect of a Moses Lake area run. I will report back to this...
