Love the clean/no-bling approach to the build, very nice!

Thanks. I'm just trying to do it once, rather than cheap out and do it several times. It's a little more expensive, but then again you get what you pay for.

I just want to know how you can keep all of your builds updated constantly! I follow your build thread on Jf, CherokeeForum, and now here! hah

I think I need a bigger truck!
Hey MCObray... was just over on JF myself a few minutes ago, was checking out your thread here last night. Nice Heep, love those Ravines. Keep up the good work!

Lol you know, i'm not quite sure. I just make sure to update them as much as I can in order to keep people who want to see in the loop. I guess not everybody uses this site, or JF, or CF so I do my best in trying to spread the love.
Thanks Greg, I appreciate it. In a sense I feel like we drive very similar vehicles in similar driving conditions, and in similar fashion. I tend to be on the road more than trails, but i'm trying to change that!

I understand. I ran across this website from the thread started on JF. This looks to be a pretty good place to hang out! Also, the rails look awesome! How did the install go?

Yeah I really enjoy Expedition Portland the most by far! Thanks for the compliment on the rails. Install went good. We had to scrape off some of the factory undercoating in order to get it to line up snug. Besides that it was a lot of driller and marking. Overall a pretty good easy, meticulous install.

I went up in the Cascade Mountains with the Salem Jeepers. I had a lot of fun and it was nice to get out in the West Cascades. Our initial destination was to reach a Log Cabin at Olallie Lake, we made it to Olallie Lake, but not to the Log Cabin itself. The snow was starting to get very soft and mashed up and quite frankly, my 30s couldn't handle it. We had a great time though!
Skip to 8:45 for the action from yesterday. This video is from Nikson.

That was good a vid and looks like fun! Also a nice gang of good looking Jeeps! Glad to see a WJ in there

It was a lot of fun! The WJ actually did really good. It's on 32s and didn't struggle like most TJs/JKs there.

Its a huge secrete but ZJ's and WJ's wheel great! Having a longer wheelbase can really help. When I had my ZJ there were a lot of hills that TJ's couldn't make up due to the short wheelbase. Even my XJ struggled over some Articulation Hills and my buddy with his 2008 Grand Cherokee walked over them!
