    The Tri-Cities Clubhouse

    @Ceg, Have you been up around where the Schneider springs fire burned last fall? Or talked with anyone that has to see what all burnt around there? I've been looking and haven't really seen a good map of what all got burnt and where it went by the time it was contained. I usually try to make...

    Let's see those full size rigs - Trucks & SUV

    Off topic for this thread, but have you tried training her without the lenses in? When we got some for our dog we spent the first month or so taking her for walks without the lenses to get her used to wearing them, then put in the clear and finally moved to the smoked. Annnd so the mods don't...

    Best place to buy a foam mattress? 30x75 4in thick

    I know you said foam mattress, but if you are willing to give a blow up one a chance I would strongly recommend the Klymit static V air mattresses. I have three of them and have had really good luck with them. They have all held up better than any other air mattress I've owned and I find them...

    If you're going to ask "what vehicle is best..."

    All good things to ask when going into the conversation of buying a rig. Also a lot of the questions you ask can go for the other thread seen time and time again "what tires should I buy?" Now I'm not hating on the people that ask that because everyone has a different background and...

    Campground ideas in Eastern Oregon for end of March?

    Most areas of NE Oregon in the Blue mtns. will still be under snow at that time. I was south of John Day in late January, there was about 12"-18" then and I think they have been getting more snow since then. There is a little campground called Bull Prairie lake that might fit your needs, easily...

    The Tri-Cities Clubhouse

    I want to go but as usual we'll see if work allows it. As for the locker that's what I'm running and haven't had any problems yet. I did a full rebuild minus gears when I put mine in. I have most all the tools needed to setup the rear end when it comes time for Doc to regear. If I'm...

    The Tri-Cities Clubhouse

    It's no fun when things go out that fast, but at least the rest of his parts are still good. Did he do the install and setup of the rear end himself? The last time I saw him we were talking rear diffs and it sounded like he was on the fence if he was going to try it or have someone else do it.

    Looks like it was pretty wore out when they sold it to him. Did his gears and bearings survive the locker going out?

    Weather for WA BDR in late May

    If you're taking Oak Creek rd. into Bear lake from hwy 12 it "should" be passable that time of year. There is a few ways down to the lake from up on Bethel ridge, but the two I've been on I probably wouldn't take a stock pickup. Not sure what the third (NF1400) is like. I usually go camp in...

    Weather for WA BDR in late May

    I can't speak for section 1 of the BDR but I have been across section 2 multiple times in mid to late May and there is always snow and mud. I wouldn't suggest section 2 for a stock pickup during that time. What is your plan for access to Bear lake? Are you going up HWY 12 to Oak creek and...

    Heading Out Wed Or Thur SW Idaho

    It's been about 4 weeks now but I was up in the Malheur national forest between Seneca and Burns. About 12"-18" of snow then and I think they have got more since. We went into Rock Springs campground and had to break trail the whole way in off of NF-17 but NF-17 was plowed.

    That one should be easy to make. Even if I can't make the event I'll be able to stop in to say hi since I drive by the turn off a few times a day.

    The Tri-Cities Clubhouse

    I was really wanting to come over for this to play in the sand, but as usual work happened. I was up getting the jeep ready to go and got called in to work on a piece of equipment my guys couldn't get figured out, by the time I was done I figured you guys were already out. Ended up going to...

    US Northwest 1st Annual EWE Winter 4x4 Meet & Greet

    As long as nothing comes up this week I'll be there. I'm still on the fence about the camping, wife says it's too cold yet for a tent and I'm not sure if I want to pull the camper over.

    Does Odo get to do the Gallagher head trip this year? I had fun on that one last year and would go again if you're doing it.

    Tires

    I'm really not a brand guy either and have run a lot of different tires over the years. With work I purchase tires for around 50 pickups so I'm always trying something new to see what lasts and works. A few years back I looked into the Maxxis, at their price point and their long history of off...

    Tires

    Since you mentioned the Maxxis Rzr tires, I run their MT and it is surprisingly quite for how aggressive it is. I'm on my second set and have been very pleased with them. Also have a friend that had them on an F250 and got 30-40k out of them so they last pretty good.

    The Tri-Cities Clubhouse

    Welcome to the group. We have a seed farm down in Boardman just south of the Love's truck stop so I'm down there a bit. I've always had a thing for suburbans and have had 2. 1999 3/4 ton with a 454 and an 1984 with small lift, 33's and a 6.5L diesel. Should have never sold the '84, with the...
