Now my curiosity is sparked: are there any members here in Washington, specifically the Puget Sound area? I know a few (Nameless, Pony-Boy), but that's about it. Anyone else I know is in Oregon. I'm in Maple Valley, just south of Seattle.:beer

well I am in Vancouver, Washington... I have a cabin on the Hood canal that I go up to too go wheel if that counts.:shrug

Could this be Tony? if so the Track bar is working great for me so far!

Don't pay any attention to me...I am on the "other side"...:banghead

Yup, it's the one some folks were cryin' about :cry As far as bodywork goes, I have a new hood, and I COULD have insurance pay for the rear quarters, but why? I bought my truck for a trail rig, not trailer queen!:toothless

Matt___ Cool, you're not too far from me. There are a couple members that live very near you, Hawks Prairie, I believe? Pony- Boy is in Puyallup. I'm going to try to get a group together for some wheelin' before summer's gone. If you haven't already, check out www.2BigBroncos.org Northwest chapter. You can subscribe to the mailing list, if you wish. Or drop me a e-mail addy, and we'll chat. :beer

The CORE event is behind the prison, get to monroe take a right accross the train tracks toward lake Tye. Left at the end of the road, pass the prison take the next right and yer golden. Give me a cll if ya plan to attend Ill show ya the way.

I sold the white Bronc to a kid w/ a mowhawk:twak But yea I still live in LS:toothless

cool thanks, i am hoping to get a lift kit on the rig some time in the next two weeks, lets see what happens.

I can't believe that you west siders are having problems finding places to take your broncos... Ohwait... yes I can:goodfinge I often wonder how you people live like that, with all those people every time you turn around, it must be like a vortex being surrounded by stupid people all the time, and knowing that you can't escape, good god I'm starting to have a panic attack just thinking about it.

Well if you all show up at the next mud bog then I'll show you some places I like to take my bronco, when it ran.

I can find plenty of dirt roads, BLM land, etc, but my Bronco longs for someplace that would actually challenge it a little (prefereably without breaking anything or getting stuck, at least until I know what I'm doing). Unfortunately you are right about the vortex. I shudder everytime I have to 'go into town'.

Come out to Reiter and do some wheeling. You wont break unless ya want to try.:toothless

In and around the Monroe/Sultan area. If any of you are ever out here you have probably seen my rig...lifted, forest service green...kinda hard to miss. In Waterville last month and someone at a gas station recognized my truck:toothless

Im going into werk today to take the 14th off i want to go on that day

I think i can talk my girl into going with me
(wheeling and introduce my city girl to the wonders of 4x4. SWEET!!)

It's getting pretty bad lately, I didn't know Chevron only allows you to put $50 of gas on your credit card per purchase until we bought the Bronco. Cost $55 to fill the 351 E150 yesterday, and it wasn't even completely empty! :banghead

Question... Do the forest service rangers her-ass you folks like they do down here? It's 20 questions every time we hit a national forest road. with the quads we just out run them but it's a little difficult to do in a lifted Bronco.

We have Boise Cascade land around here, just Federal Marshals patrol it, but luckily the guy buys hay from me so he isn't so bad, but state land almost isn't worth the hassle.

We go up into the GP forest all the time, mostly around Silver Star, though sometimes all the way out to Lewis River Falls, and I've never seen a ranger on the road. BLM land is completely unpatrolled, as far as I can tell. We go up around Tarbell and you get up there and there's all kinds of garbage thrown around and abandoned cars all shot up. I doubt there's patrols of any kind up there.

I live in Portland but will be in Tacoma for 2 years for work. I should be up there in about 3 weeks. :beer

I bought it from a guy a couple of months ago off of 502 (219th) between Dollar's Corner and NE 10th.

Dark Blue, the grill was changed to that tubular design. Runs OK, but leaks from every imaginable seal. Has practically new 31 inch tires and wheels ($1250 from Les Schwab's, according to the paperwork.) It's got the 351 HO/C6 combo.

Everything (except the gas gage sending unit) works, but it needs help. Never been cleaned much, needs paint and so forth. Bought it as a project rig, but am, frankly, overwhelmed and full up on other projects, so, I intend to buy another, much newer Bronco; swap the wheels and tires to the newer rig, then sell the old one.

Simple, eh?

That sucks. I remember seeing that one sitting there for sale. Too bad it needs so much work. I'm sure you'll have no problem finding a newer one to replace it with. Seems to be a Bronco on every corner around here sometimes.

There are quite a few newwer rigs for sale
here in Puyallup when you put yourself back in the market.
One 94 has a $4800 sticker.

Good luck though.

hey i'm from seattle too. haven't taken the bronco wheeling yet cause i dont have the right tires. or nothing ].. should get toghther and wheel.:beer :beer :beer

I am trying to work a drug deal where I will be in the Tacoma area around the 22-26...don't know if I will have the Bronco or not. I will let ya'll know.

I am from Yelm...close to Olympia, and currently the rig is lifted but is going back to stock this weekend....but you already knew that Tony... :)

Ah hah....it's you. Sounds like it's going to be quite a little gathering.......:toothless

I'm from Bellevue, but currently reside in Pullman durring sept. thru may. Been a member of this site for a while not but havent put in much input. Pretty much a newbie as far as offroading goes, drive a stock '88 bronco would like to do a lift but dont have the funds now.

Ahh yes, all dirt roads lead to Pullman:histerica Sorry, saw it on a UW bumper sticker. Any ways, when you get back to Bellevue, let me know & maybe we can get a group together to do some "stocker freindly" wheelin'!!!!

I live in Ellensburg, and I am from issaquah . I just lifted my Bronc 6 in . Skyjacker. 35.12 BFG mudders. Just put on a homemade intake out of some plumming pipe, works really good.

Um.............Pics?

i'm in Sammamish, just north of Issaquah.... my bronco is a white '93 w/ 5.0 & AOD that i just bought this weekend at an auction. i'm new to broncos (& fords for that) so i'm on here to start learning about them & get tech questions answered... the rig needs some TLC... which i plan to do.
who knows, maybe i'll catch up with some of you & go wheeling sometime once it's up to snuff.

AndreS--Welcome to the board.


I have some friends that live in the Snoqualimie/North Bend area that I visit occasionally throughout the year. I'll post here before my next trip, maybe I can meet up with someone in the area and tear some s@#t up.

New Washington Bronco here... OK, so I moved 25 minutes away but now I'm an official Washingtonian... Spokane to be precise.

I know these two girls that live in Lynnwood that share ownership of a huge 73 F250 with a built 428/HD D44/D60FF/35 or so BFG's. heh i still have yet to wheel with them, they like my truck (as small as it is) and thats good enough for me!

Any chance the truck is bright red? If so I have seen it, never seen the owners though. I need to get the truck running:D

Congrats on the purchase of a 4x4, (even if it is a ford :banghead ) Ain't nothing wrong with those 300 six cylinders they are a great engine. They have good torque( it'll turn 33s no problem), and get decent mileage. Up to 18 mpg is not uncommon. :toothless :thumbup

I grew up in Yakima, fled upon turning 18 to Pullman/Moscow for 7 years, and now have been down here in CO for the past 6 years... I'm interviewing for a position at my company's HQ in downtown Seattle, so the wife and I are looking on the west side of the Sound and take the ferry into work - maybe in Bremerton, Port Orchard, etc.... Anyone with suggestions on where to move/not to move - would be appreciated. Looking for a house with a big lot or a few acres with a shop or big garage so I can work on my Bronco projects without getting soaked or pissing off the neighbors.... :thumbup

Once we get settled, I'll definately be looking for wheeling buddies and places to go. I'm guessing we'll be moving in June/July....

The further out that way you go, the better the views and the prices. I've got a friend who's building out in Indianola, WA. Right on the sound, and far enough away from anybody else. Commutes over ferry to Tukwila, WA. You can get further south, and still get some decent deals. The property sizes go down and the prices go up the further you go.

I live in Olympia, WA. Far enough out for me...(country boy) and close enough to amenities for the missus (city girl).

Just a friendly little jab thats all it was. Also I think I gave Ford a fair compliment. I dont know of to any other gas six cylinders of ANY brand that get the mileage AND have the power of the Ford 300 six cylinder. As for the sites like Colarado K-5s and so forth they seem to think their crap don't stink, and I wouldn't join their site if it was the last one on the web. So here I am at a decent site with decent members, where we can meet, greet, trade info and joke around a little.
