Where is this place?? I'm going to be by Mt. Hood that weekend and would love to tag along

I'd probably be down for Sunday the 11th as well. Someone should start a new thread for it so this all doesn't get lost in the comments.

I may head up to participate or even compete....there's cash prizes!

Ill see if I can get the jeep ready for the 11th hopefully all my parts come in. A event sounds fun to watch maybe try.

So what's up with Sunday? I'm still down to try some trails.

North Portland here. Got my first Jeep about a month ago. Little maintenance stuff here and there, eventually lift it over time. Can't wait to get to use the 4wd.

DAMN! Thats a clean XJ!
What are your plans with it?
(lift height/tire size/etc...)

Thanks, it took about 2-3 months to track one down!

I do a lot of snowboarding so reliability is high on the list. First on the list is to get a rear tow package and install some front tow hooks so I'll have some recovery points. I plan on doing a SYE before lifting it. Then make some quick disco's. I also have some leaky trans cooler lines so I might just do an external cooler since PO's hose clamp attempt didn't work. Finally make room in the fender wells for some bigger tires.. After that I'm not sure which lift to start with before I'm needing to replace suspension components due to excessive bump steer (like a 3.5" or if I could do a 4.5" and get away with it). Then down the road I can decide if I want to go long arm, and which track bar, drag link, and extended pitman would work best. I was thinking 31-33'' depending what I do first.

So far I've swapped in the Bosch 703 four hole injectors, replaced the FSB bushings, replaced the wiper arm bushings, air filter, and cleaned the bay. This is my first 4x4 so this is a whole new world for me.

Well you're certainly off to a good start. Took me several months before I bought the XJ I have now too! Finding "just the right one" often times takes time. If you ever need help with your jeep, or would just like to meet up and talk jeep, i'm always down. I used to live in N.Po. so I know the area. I'm out in Gresham now. Lemme know!:cheers2:

 

[indeepwithajeep]

Sounds good :tea: I think at some point I'll want to find some trails to make sure everything is working right!

I'm installing a lift on a buddy's 92 XJ right now... RC 4.5" long arm kit.
He's gonna need to do a shake down run here soon too.
I haven't been out in a while, so I'm itchin to get out there.
We'll figure out something soon. :thumbsup:

I'm not sure if you do the whole facebook thing. However I noticed this event coming up posted in another group I'm in. I'm not so sure if I could make it though, all my free time is spend snowboarding when we get some snow Could be a good thing to show up to with your buddy.

I didnt even know about these guys!
huh..... learn something new every day!

No ...I dont even have a facebook account, everyone says I need to though. (meh.) :/
I have a hard enough time keeping track of everything on all the different jeep sites and forums I'm a member of.
That run on the 19th may work out.... You might see me there if you're not on the mountain.
