    The Tri-Cities Clubhouse

    I like the links and I think what you're posting is really helpful. All over this site you see people asking for recommendations on where to go and you're posting trip reports almost weekly of places to go. Maybe they don't like that you link another site instead of putting the original post...

    We made it out of Covid lockdown, now its time for climate lockdown. I understand a good numbers of the fires are caused by people being stupid but people are acting like they've never seen a hot dry summer before.

    This kind of takes some fun out of camping but is totally understandable, it's damn dry out there. Did you see anything if propane fires and bbq's are still allowed?

    Looks like you found a nice spot to cool off! How long do you think you'll be over in the Portland area? We should meetup somewhere in the middle if you get the time. Maybe do a camp trip in the Cascades like we did last summer.

    Wish I could make it to this but I had have some equipment showing up earlier than expected and will have to work this weekend getting it together.

    @Ceg, Is your trip to Gallagher head still happening in July? It looks like it is right before we would start digging potatoes but if I can swing it I'd like to go, already told the wife I was planning on it.

    There is another one in Sandpoint Oct. 1-3 that someone posted up in the Meetup section. Haven't talked to anyone that's been to it but looks like it could be a good time.

    Don't fall for the hype! While all the flashy gear is cool all you really need is a rig and some basic gear to get out on trips. I haven't been around your area much but I'm sure you could head east on Hwy 2 and find some good places to go. Download a good mapping app or get an atlas like...

    US Northwest Washington Back Country Discovery Route July 5-10 2021

    I haven't been on a lot of the BDR but I've been all over around section 2. If you're taking the bypass from Bethel ridge there is a place a large group can camp at around 46.80089, -120.99135. It would be off to the right when you are coming down the hill. I'm not sure how many fire rings are...

    Was out the other weekend again, just forgot to post anything on it, would have been June 4-6. Went outside Nile and camped off of FS 1500 at a pretty awesome spot next to Rattle Snake creek. Went on about a 45 mile cruise, most of it was pretty tame forest service roads but we took a few...

    Looking for some info on Stampede Pass

    https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/threads/stampede-pass-washington-state.22996/ There is a write up on it from 2019. If you go into the Overland Bound Routes Downloadable section and search for it there is a couple more. I've never been up there myself so I couldn't tell you of current...

    Looking for suggestions in Coeur D'Alene area

    I'm not from the area but have been up there a lot and know there is plenty to see and do. Might reach out to @Sandpoint Steve, I think he is from around there and might be able to give you some ideas.

    Thanks, it's starting to take shape. Pictures were taken in central Washington on the eastern foothills of the Cascades just south of Ellensburg. Have you been able to get yours out on the trail of your last round of work? I'm sure you've been itching to head out with that trailer.

    Bad bushings could be causing some wobble. I think the most unstable mine felt was when I first lifted it, had the factory sway bars and crappy bushings in all of the control arms. This last trip it felt pretty good for only having the front factory bar on (or I'm getting used to it wobbling...

    Got the Grand up in the woods over the weekend and am happy to say the new suspension worked great! We had about 2 hours of highway drive to get where we were camping and it handled pretty good. The added spring rate really helped with how much the rear squatted when full loaded and it seemed...

    I made it out this past weekend also. Went up to the Wenas wildlife area and camped from Thursday night thru Sunday. Friday we ran from the Observatory across the ridge to Durr rd. then south to Umtanum ridge rd where we headed back east to Auduban rd and back up to camp. Saturday was a little...

    After the last round of suspension work I'm pretty happy with the overall look and performance, I still need to get it on some trail to really test it out but that'll happen this weekend. Looking through my phone I found some old pictures and thought I would post up some progress pics at it's...

    I will probably be up in the Wenas area camping and running trails this weekend. Do you guys have a set plan for when and where you're starting? Is this just a day trip or are you camping? Let me know what you're plans are and I if things work out I'll try to meet up with you somewhere along...

    You mentioned 30 degrees for the sway bar, is that a measurement you took before starting the lift process? . Mine had the budget boost when I bought it so the reference was lost. I thought extend the links by the same as the lift. Worked fine for the back but they were too long in the...

    2003 Grand Cherokee Laredo

    You mentioned 30 degrees for the sway bar, is that a measurement you took before starting the lift process? I have been wondering what that angle should be since I never took one before I lifted mine. I've been playing around with different lengths for my discos to find a happy spot where it...
