Default In Seattle for the summer - looking for some wheelin buddies

Hey everyone, I'll be working in the seattle area for the summer (my XJ and I came all the way from central PA.. and I'll add that she made the trip no problem ).. lookin for some people to tag along with on some wheelin trips. Also, are there any decent offroad products stores around the area that you guys would recommend? My jeep is on ~3" and 31's right now - I'm looking to get a new front bumper, a transfer case skid, and possibly some cragar soft 8's.. any recommendations would be appreciated!

Greg

welcome to the area. Not sure about up north for shops but sure there are some other than the obvious 4wparts. In the Tacoma/Puyallup area there are a couple more local type shops that are good to deal with.
As far as wheeling I'm almost always open to a wheeling trip except this weekend unless I can get my jeep fixed sooner than later.
