I'm coming from the cedar hills area, so the primary meeting location looks good to me

Fun day today and I'll post up pictures for everyone as soon as I stop getting a "parse error"

Suggestions?

Not sure what is causing the parse error, but I agree it was a good time! Eh, well except for the tire! Luckily discount tire is setting me up with a new one this week. As soon as I get back down to Portland I'll put up my pictures as well, I think most of them involve a stuck bronco, but there's a few good ones to go along with it!

It was nice to meet you man! I'm definitely looking forward to some snow though!

And it's stuck. The recovery required two JK's hooked together to pull him out. It was a cool sight and I wish we had a picture of it

Nice photo!
That one should be printed and hanging on your wall someplace.

That damn rock! Luckily I bought the replacement certificates through discount tire direct, so they're replacing it for free (plus the cost of a certificate for that tire) love that company! Dragging the bronco out was a good time! Once we got a set of tires out of that slop, I was really surprised about how smoothly it pulled!

I did manage to find out what the noise under the jeep was though! When I was trying to climb that hill, I managed to losen up the locking nut on my adjustable trac bar. Found it out when my steering wheel had about an inch and a half of play in it with a "clunking" sound once the wheels started turning.

Snow is on the ground in downtown Portland though! We'll have to make a weekend trip into it soon!
