Somewhat of a Noobradoodle...

Hello. I'm John a.k.a. RaggedOleMan. I think I know some of the guys on here, but, not sure of their monikers. I first heard of this site from Eric @ 4-Wheel Parts, Tacoma.

My heep is a 2005 Tj. It's my second Jeep and it's also my DD. My set up is very mild, but reasonably capable thus far; BFG KM2's on 2-1/2" OME + 1-1/4" pucks. 1" BL 1" MML, AA SYE, RE rear UCA's. d30/Aussie/Superior seals, d35/OPEN...307, NSG370 6-sp/man, NV231, SYE CV d/s. Warn M8000 + lots of self recovery gear, CB and some other stuff.

My favorite areas to wheel are;
1). Manastash all over!
2). Evans Creek, the trail head at the 196 is my nemesis...have to get tugged or winch every time thus far! Will have to wait to lock the rear until i get that d35 upgraded or swapped out...
3). Elbe; Only been there twice. Loved it! Did the fun run last weekend and had a blast!
4). Destination wheeling like the 1500 road from Hwy-12 to Hwy-410 via the 1500 Road, and the Milk Lake trail from near Whistlin' Jacks to the Manastash Campground via Tripod Flats.
5). Cut my wheelin' teeth at Tahuya...only place i ever got damage, too! What's with that place? The Tahuya Voo-doo?

I go wheeling each and every weekend, sometimes both days...wears an older guy out...not to mention all the clean up because it's my dd...but it's about the most fun I can have with my pants on! :D

My bread and butter is architectural drafting, I'm a proprietor...and...

I also make winch switches that Eric over at 4-Wheel Parts, Duane at Enumclaw AutoWorks and Bob @ Billy Bobs all help me peddle! Thanks guys...

I have a question...how do I put up a custom avatar? I tend to be technologically challenged...

EDIT; Figured out the avatar...there goes my lunch money!

Yeah, I remember you! Met you at the WOW office there at the campground, too. It was great day. Only my second time out there and I loved the **** out of it.

That big drop on the Alder Loop was a pubic hair away from taking my windshield hostage! But, easy on the expensive pedal was the answer for me. Remember that Blazer just a bit further down that trail? Lots of carnage there today...

I'll browse my pics and see if I can't find a few of you. I thought you had a video of mine heep on the Alder Loop?

Hope to see you guys again!
