Hi all, I am dying to go wheeling. Unfortunately the jeep is taking way longer to build than anticipated. Started in Feb and probably another two weeks until done.

I'm going on 3.5 years.... But I feel your pain.
This is my second time resurrecting it from dead. But 3.5 years that would be unbearable.

My first build was in 2006 and took about 8 months after I'd had a shop do my engine swap. This time around I've done everything myself other than the machine work on the block.
Mine has been just about a frame off rebuild. I'm waiting on parts to finish it now. Hoping for mid Sept as my drive it out of the garage finally date.
Well good luck on your build. I’m sure it will be awesome when it’s done. After all its a Jeep.

Been a minute since I’ve posted.
Went up to liberty a bit ago (Reecer side) was cool, ya can cover a lot of ground with only 2 rigs.
Was up on Mantasash last weekend, same 2 rigs, still covering a lot of ground.
Our next outing will be our annual night run, I may get another in between but as of now it’s all hands on deck, with the night run always being our biggest turnout we all start doing small fun mods (sometimes goofy and or dumb) new stuff in hopes to impress each other or get a laugh.
Anyways a couple pics of liberty and shoestring

Two built TJ's on a trailer rolling through McCleary in Gray's Harbor, anyone here?
One dark, one red. Both looked to have nearly full genright armor? Sick looking rigs either way!

No, but I saw these guys at the Elbe staging area recently. Lots of genright stuff, long arms, and stretches. There’s a 3rd TJ in the background there too.
I doubt they’re on here but if you are, make some build thread!
Just drove through there, must’ve missed them.
What part of Grays harbor you in? I’ve got my J10 and CJ5 and sometimes my TJ down at my dads place between by matlock-brady
Oh nice!
I'm just outside of McCleary. I was driving to the store in town and they passed me going the opposite way. I'm guessing they just stopped into town for fuel, never seen them before. Can't imagine where they were headed going this way, nothing too serious on the coast?

The white one lives somewhere near me, I saw it roll past my house as I was loading up to run manastash
Just completed a fun weekend... Friday night we hit Naches trail from the west side... leaving from Enumclaw. H the trail head around 8:30pm, went over the pass and down to a camp site off little Naches road, set up camp around 2am.
Saturday we ran up Kaner/shoe and ended up at tripod flats where we camped overnight before heading out down woodpecker/milk lake roads (with a stop at funnyrocks) before heading back over the gravel pass out little Naches road back towards Enumclaw on Sunday. 2 LJ, 2 TJ, 1 YJ, 2 CJ... fun trip
This was the view going up west side of Naches trail Friday night.

I used to do a run with a group where we did every trail in the Little Naches area. Some times it was under 24 hours and other times it would last 24+ hours. It was always a select group and all experienced wheelers. Miss doing stuff like that but don't know that I could anymore.
The yellow jeep sure looks like ducky owned and built by Ryan Cranfill
Calling all WA and N ID wheelers!

Anyone up for a run at Walker Valley ORV on November 10, 11, or 12? I’ll be in the Bellingham area for a seminar my wife is attending, so I’m free in the daytime.

I might find time to play...Once you've dialed in the date
I assume most are available on Saturday or Sunday. That’s Nov 11 and 12, but 10, 11, or 12 are all fine. I can go multiple days too. All i know is we need to get out there!
