My kids and I are going to hit the trails tomorrow and we’re noticing some chatter online about some possible gate closures at off-road parks right now due to the government shut down. Figured this is the place to ask if anyone knows if our local parks are affected? Is the gate to Reiter open...

It's a long read, I wrote it in an article form for my own amusement. Mark should have some summit photos to add. March 27-28, 2011 In typical Mark and Darby fashion we struck out at 9:00 at night with the intent of climbing Snoqualmie Mountain over the next 2 days. A mountain we knew...

We just took delivery of a new fire engine :cheer: but it came with some bugs. It has the Cummins 500hp diesel and before we could put it in service it kept giving us check engine alarms. They found out the problem was some type of computer interface problem and Cummins isn't able to remedy...

Hey guys. I'm looking for a climbing partner. I know there's a few on here that climb. I live in North Bend and I'm stoked to climb all the routes that exit 38 has to offer. I had no idea there were so many bolted walls off of that one exit, Deception Crags, Far Side, Mt Wa and Bobs area. I...

Anyone ride Dual sports? I want to buy an Italian made VOR 400 this week and was just wanting to ask around if anyone has any expierence with these bikes? I asked on cycle forums but haven't seen any replies yet. Their not a brand you see very often. I'm stoked to be able to ride a wheelie...

I'm tired of my tires going flat while sitting on my trailer. I'm sure my friends are tired of having my tires go flat when they burp air out of the inner bead, and then it slows us all down on the trail. What problems would I expect to encounter if I ran inner tubes in my tires? Does anyone...

My wheelin buddies are going to the Naches for some snow wheelin. I'm not really into the Naches if I can't go play on the rocks, and snow wheelin is not my favorite. So, I thought I'd see if there are any better offers out there? (don't hold it against me fellas) I thought a Busywild run...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSXSxC8xjx4&feature=related or my last by the look of it It's the Lochsa, or pronounced lock-saw. It will be the worst/best river I've done if I can pull off the logistics. It's hard to get other guides to commit to the trip because of the severity. Class 4-5...

I keep missing all the fun trail runs lately :mad: with Money and the gang. Been workin a lot of overtime and it took me a couple weeks to tear down my toyota and bring my samurai out of retirement. So, now that I got in a little test run I'm ready to go hit the trails and hang with my...

Not to jump on the $mark cherokee band wagon, but I'm looking at getting a family wheeler. I'm looking at a 96 jeep cherokee sport with the 4.0. Man, you can get these things cheap! You can find a good runner for $1000-1200 all day. Why have I been driving toyota's! My question, can you...

I know there's a lot of folks going up on Sat but I'm going to be working. I'm thinking I'll head up on Sunday and I'll go run Issabel if any progress has been made with the tree clearing. Otherwise running BYS backwards and SOL sound like fun. Anybody else gonna be up there or feel like...

Went out for a quick run then pumperator showed up and it turned into a night mission.

I'm not a fan of snow wheelin but I'm bored as hell and needing a break from my life. I'm thinking of making a quick solo run up to Reiter (i know pumpy, now I'm screwed cause i said "quick"). Anybody been up there in the last few days? Is there snow or can I avoid it if I stick to the lower...

I'm thinking about picking up an old 1984 Automate Royal with a 454. It's bitchen i know! Even has brown pin stripes. So, does anyone else tow with their RV? It's 33ft long, has a tow package. Am I fooling myself thinking it will haul my car trailer and Toyota? Most of my trips are over...

Should all be melted now right? That snow was crappy! Now we can all get back to some real wheelin. On a side note, floods here in Snoqualmie sure were interesting. Spent last nigh cruising around the whole town in a canoe with a head lamp, cheating death. Even found a small party going...

I work at the fire department and we drive a 2006 Ford F350 aid car. It's 4 wheel drive and has quarter turn hubs up front with a 60. They just made a new policy that says we will leave the hubs locked all winter regardless of road conditions or if we're in 2 wheel drive. I'm thinking leaving...

My cab on my 83 is junk. I'm looking at swapping it out in the next couple of weeks. My question is, will a 2wheel drive cab work? I know the fenders are a little different but am I gonna run into any surprises. Sounds like the cab mounts are all the same but I just want to make sure. I...

Who carries snatch blocks/pulleys? If your going to carry 1, I think you should actually carry 2. Was reading that drama crap between kaptainkraker and those guys he was threatening. they pointed out that little pulley on his winch line and it got me thinking. Mechanical advantage- a...

My friends and I will be camping in the upper parking lot on Saturday and sunday, 11/15. I will probably be there on Friday too because I have the time off. We'll probably be running the Issabel trail at some point and the BYS forwards and backwards ass well. Feel free to join our group for...

I just got my first set of weld in beadlocks from Copperhead Fab (their ugly) and I have some questions. Here's what I think I know so far from reading through old posts: I need 5/16 grade 8 bolts and I should torque them down in a circle pattern at 20 ft pounds? Is this right? Bolt Length...
