Reader’s Rides & Off Road Vehicles

We are from Vancouver, WA and members of the Vancouver4Wheelers (www.vancouver4wheelers.net) and wheel every chance we get in the snow, rocks, trails, Brown’s Camp is our favorite place in the Portland area.  My wife, Heather, and our 12 year old son are always with me and love wheeling as much as I do.  After 12 years of marriage, my wife finally made me build up the Jeep in 2008 so we were more versatile in our wheeling.  We have a new Jasper built 4.2 258 I6 motor, newly rebuilt Peugeot 5 speed, Atlas 4 transfer case (1:1,4:1,6:1,and 10.34:1), poly performance 4 link rear with 2.5" x 12" Race Runner Sway A Way remote reservoir shocks with Eibach springs and 3 link front suspension with 2.5" x 10" Race Runner Sway A Way remote reservoir shocks with Eibach springs, [Front Dana 44 high pinion high steer Yukon 4:56 ring and pinion, Yukon chromoly axles, ARB lockers, warn hubs], [Rear Ford 8.8 Yukon 4:56 ring and pinion, Yukon chromoly axles, ARB locker, rear disc brakes with the calipers turned forward for clearance], 37" MTR tires on steel rock crawler wheels with Staun inner bead locks (also on the spare tire), LOD Off-road rear tire carrier with rack and can holders, custom Poison Spyder full cage tied into the frame in 6 places with 2 adult mastercraft seats and one pre-teen mastercraft seat in the middle rear (five point harnesses) all tied into the cage.  Mile Marker 9500lb winch, onboard Via-Air 450 continuous duty compressor, also running a CO2 Powertank, and a custom mount on the back tire for our axe and shovel.  Flexes out on a 20 degree ramp with straps at 1102.
