New to Jeeps, and newly stationed at NAS Whidbey Island
Hey guys (and gals)
Thought i would introduce myself. Name's Brandon, but you can also call me "Mickey" (nickname while i was deployed). Just got stationed up at NAS Whidbey Island, WA not too long ago and so far its pretty awesome. Picked up my '95 Cherokee about mid September while on a road trip with my best friend (he just got back from AFGN).
Lovin' my jeep and have been wheeling twice already and i have only owned it for 4 weeks! Its got a either a 4' or 4.5' Rough Country lift (not sure which size...) and also has a quick disconnect front anti-roll bar. tires are 32" x 12.5" on 15's.
my First trip wheeling was with my friend and his dad while we were in Bend, OR. It was not a very challenging trip, but we had a great time and were able to snap some patriotic pics at the top of the mountain!
then just last week i went out to Tahuya, WA for some wheeling with a friend form work
if you look closely, i made a noob mistake in picking my driving line... the front left and rear right wheels are buried in the wheel wells.... and with no lockers i needed a slight tug rearword from my friends JK so i could try it again
I'm learning about all things Jeep and having lots of fun so far!
Future plans include (in order): CB radio, Front/rear bumpers and rock sliders (Karnage Fabrications out of Victoria, B.C.), a winch (probably around 9k lbs since i will wheel with bigger trucks than me), and some LED lights from Rigid Inustries
Cya guys around the forum!

Evans creek i hear is pretty easy, but a great area. I know Walker Valley has some pretty tight spots when i rode along in a K5 Blazer.... but so far Tahuya is the only place i have actually wheeled... but it was GREAT

Jeep looks great man. So does the area. I can't wait to get back up there and hit some of the trails in MT/Wyoming. Welcome!
