Default Hi Folks

Just wanted to say Hi and compliment everyone (especially Steve) for putting together a fine forum.

I saw Steves recent post over at 4wdtrips.net and trundled over to investigate.

I live in Fairview, just east of Portland and my wife and I enjoy going out exploring as often as we can. It was interesting reading some of the posts and intros and I'm impressed with the quality of the folks here. Looking forward to getting involved in some trips.

The first shot was taken in the Blue Mtns of Oregon on Section 4 of the Oregon Backcountry Byway

This second was taken on Hart Mountain in SE Oregon

Keep up the good work,

Mick & Joey

Welcome to the forum! That is one nice looking rig and it also appears to be quite capable. Please tell us about your modifications.
Jerry

Well thanks, Jerry for the nice words and welcome.

You know, when it comes to the subject of mods, I used to fly for fun for about 20 years and I could never figure out how my plane always seemed to know when the savings account was carrying a few extra bucks. The point is, it did know and somehow passed the secret on to my 4wd vehicles after I sold my last plane. I just can’t figure it out…

Anyway, this is a general list of most of the more important mods:

Air Silencer & Deckplate Mod
Amsoil Fluids throughout & Air Filter
Icom 2 Meter Ham Radio & Antenna
Cobra CB & Antenna
On Board Air Tank
TJM 17 Front Bumper
Sway A Way Race Runners Adjustable Front Shocks W/1.5 inch lift
Rear Bilstein HD Shocks
Rear Downey HD Springs
Jardine Catback Exhaust
Rock Sliderz
Front Diff Drop
Rear Panhard Bracket
ES Rear Bump Stops
Excide XCD Orbital Battery
Hella Driving Lights & Clear Plastic Covers
Hayden Trans Cooler
Anti-Swaybar Quick Disconnects
Rear Receiver Tow Point
Custom Rear Bumper


Here’s a pic of the custom rear bumper a friend fabbed up for me last year.
