If you have to keep both hands on the wheel how are you supposed to "let your fingers do the walking"? (you know, the commercial of course :-missingt)

By palming...the steering wheel, I suppose.
|
Caseys,
Where are you at? In Sequim I take it. |
No, not Sequim ... Seattle. At least both start with "Se". Spent time there in the past when we stopped in PA during my Coast Guard days.
|
I live in Sequim. I actually work just off the roundabout at the rental store just north of the Napa. If it's the navy blue bronco with white stripes down the sides I know who owns it, his name is Rocky. I thought about buying that truck.
Pat, you may have seen me around town - I have the Grey '86 bronco. There's two other grey ones, a first gen fullsize and a third gen. Both are lifted. Mine's not. :-lamesign Oh well, someday. Hey, maybe I'll see you around sometime! |

Hey, maybe I'll see you around sometime! We'll have to hook up some time. Mine is now not lifted so I guess I'm lame too:-banghead. The lift was a "home made one" the PO made and it finally gave out (long story) but I got it back to stock for now. Have you done any good wheeling around here? Catch you later. Pat |

I bet you get some real good views in Seattle in the Bronco. I love driving down town Seattle and looking 8D.

Was out picking up parts today (Sunday, 31May) and saw a Blue Bronco with its top off leaving by NAPA. Didn't get a chance to turn around. Was it anyone one here? Just checking. I was driving the Brown and White Bronco with the top off too.
Sequim was where Duffy's Bronco Parts was located for decades, before he moved back east. |

How long have you lived in Skwim? :)
Sequim was where Duffy's Bronco Parts was located for decades, before he moved back east. Yeah, Jim Duff is a great guy. I spoke to him on a few occasions, even interviewed him my senior year in high school for my senior thesis paper on the impacts (positive and negative) of off-road recreation on the environment, especially on the Olympic Peninsula. Too bad he never got into Fullsize Broncos. :rolleyes: |

I heard there's some good spots up the B 1000 road (Howard Heights/Woods Rd) but can't say one way or another - haven't been up there. Ever driven from Palo Alto Rd. in Sequim to Quilcene on USFS roads only? Willing to show ya the way if you want. Heck, I'll even show ya where I messed up royally 2 days after Christmas one year. Getting stuck in a ditch 8 miles from pavement with the (now ex) wife and baby at dusk wasn't my most shining moment. I'll just leave it at that. Sounds like you, Mike and me need to get together for a beer sometime. Yes Mike, I know we never got around to having a beer, but now's your chance. :-X18 |

I'm more of a mess around in the mud and drive around on the fire roads guy than a flying high bouncing off trees kinda guy. Ever wonder why you see so many Toyotas around? It's 'cause they are about the only thing short of a quad or Rhino that will fit through all the good, technical trails around here. Almost all my friends have 'Yotas and almost all of them wheel. Fullsize trucks just don't seem to work well around here. That is - if you don't want to readjust your body panels with a tree as you drive.

Maybe take it off again next week. Haven't done any wheeling around here but have down south and out around the Forks area. |
Pat, did I see you park and walk into the Carlsborg Shell station this morning around 9:15-9:30? Brown/white bronco w/ black wheels?
If so, I was at the light at Carlsborg Rd heading south. Not sure if you saw me. |

That was probably me. Sounds about the time I was there. Had the top back on and now its off again (took it off this afternoon after I got back from the track). Didn't notice/see you. I was in my own world this morning. You should have swung around and I would've bought you a cold one. I don't live too far from there, back towards sunny farms area. One of these days we'll have to hook up.
