Introduction Thread

[Little Red Zuk]

I guess I'll poke my nose in here.

Daren Rabago, been a member of the Timber Tamers for about 9 years now. I've lurked the PNW4WDA site often, but due to a new attempt at going for competition, decided it was time to log in.

I have a 1988 Suzuki Samurai, mildly modified on 35's and Dana 44's
2010 Jeep JK on 33's
and now a loud, purple race Jeep kinda thing.

I've been in the PNW through clubs growing up (My Dad was a member of the old Mugwumpers club), some time as an independent member, and most recently through the Timber Tamers.

Hey Everyone,
My name is Thyer. Been married for 1.5 years and have only recently got the off roading "disease". I drove my stock T100 on a few trips to Tahuya before buying my 4runner (which is trail only right now). Unfortunately I do not really know anyone else who is into the sport so I am always looking for people to go with. I live in seattle so if anyone is wheeling in the area and would like some company post it to the forum, and hopefully ill be able to join you.

I'm Phil married to Marilyn for 50 years. We're in Sorrento BC but have been driving all of the PNW for all that time. We celebrated by doing ID, OR and WA this spring, attended the Ellensburg Rally, and then went east (4th time on 4 wheels) to visit family and drive the scenic byways, paved or not - overall 14,000 miles in 16 states and four provinces. We're in a lifted 2010 Eddie Bauer.

Yaay. I can finally post.

Hi. My name is Kyle. On Pirate4x4 and pretty much every forum I can remember joining, I go by CowboyKyle.

I just moved to Puyallup from Rapid City, SD. I'm used to having world class rock crawling in my back yard. The unfortunate part was 2 fold: It was only open during Summer months, and it reeks havoc on full size trail rigs.

I'm 27, not married, zero kids. I've been in the USAF for 5.5 years and just got stationed at McChord.

Is there any wheeling here?

I have a 2003 Ram 1500. It's been ...... massaged. A little.

It has a D60 front, Sterling 10.5" rear, 3 link front, ORI struts and full hydro. And a lot of dents. 5.7L HEMI, 545RFE trans, NP241, 5.13 gears, Spartan front locker. I have a rear Detroit waiting to go in, and an NP205 waiting on a 241/205 build.

Tow rig is an '06 F-250 6.8L/ZF-6 truck, 20ft Big Tex.

This was me last week.



This is a problem I'm currently battling. Can't decide if I wanna just rebuild the hoops and keep on wheeling, or if I wanna rebuild the front frame from the cab mounts forward. The ORIs have internal bumps. Had I JUST been rock crawling, it probably would've been fine. But 350hp and 6,000lbs just BEGS to be jumped on old fire roads. So, it's not fine.



Anyways, I'm originally from Texas, and miss it dearly.

Looking forward to wheeling and making new friends.
