Who here is from Washington?I'm from the Kitsap county area.Old pic but it still looks the same.

[banjoguy]

Hey! I'm from East Pierce County out in Buckley! There's a bunch of FSJ freaks in WA. I think we should start our own IFSJA club chapter (AKA, invading the ORV parks with Waggys, cheifs, and J's).
I see FSJ's all over here, but I've never seen more than one in the same place at the same time!

[sang_route]

Hay. Im on the eastside in King. Might see me on I-90. Green j4000.

[Wayne]

I think I have seen your truck. I drive a flat black Wagoneer, with purple were the wood was.

[jeeper63b]

im in lakewood. im seein more fsj's around here in the 4 yrs ive been here.

[Rat]

Hello there.
I am in Tacoma.
Have not been active here for awhile due to some health problems and a broken transmission.
But I'm back.

[CutterN55]

I'm from WA. Stanwood/Camano area. I'm stationed in Pensacola Fl but WA is home. I miss it. May come home in the summer though.

[REDONE]

I'm in unincorporated SnoCo, past Granite Falls, east of Everett. Not much for our full sizes out this way, but some lighter stuff and lots of camping opportunities.

[lunchbox1671]

Originally from Spokane. Now in Sandpoint, ID!

[74blackj10]

New here but thought this was a good as any place to post my first. I used to live in buckley but now i live in roy area of washington and hope to meet up and have fun with some other fs jeepers! Just recently picked up my second j series and have a few things to do to it and hope to get it up and going good here soon.

[REDONE]

Welcome! Your in the right place!
Always good to have more WA FSJers!:D

[74blackj10]

Well glad to be here! And glad to see more people around me into the older jeeps.

[banjoguy]

Wayne,
I think I saw you a couple weeks ago. I was delivering gas to the Safeway on Auburn Way and saw you fly by. I don't know why, but everytime I see a FSJ drive by I feel like chasing it down like a dog trying to bite the mailman.

[Jim Blair]

Here in Lynnwood/Bothell or Index most of the time (sometimes up in Canada wrenching on my son's J10)

[Wayne]

[quote=banjoguy]Wayne,

That was me, I live less then a mile from the Safeway.
You the guy who allways delivers to that store?

[Red White and Blue]

I haven't posted here in a while, but still have the old J10. It's the original Metallic Brown, however the Pioneer woodgrain has been removed.

[banjoguy]

No, our shifts are random. But my company has the contract for that station, so we're the only ones who do the Auburn Safeway. I usually go there a few times a month though.

[banjoguy]

Saw two more Washington FSJ's yesterday! One in Kirkland near Totem Lake, a off white (maybe yellow? I'm color blind) J20 with a razor grill. The other was a white woody Wagoneer parked at the Hockey Center in Tacoma! God, I love these rigs!!!!!

I'm thinkin we're due for another meet n' greet. I missed last year's trail run that TooRisky put together cause my GW wasn't running good enough, but I think I could go do something now.

[hutchman]

Kennewick here.....don't have a FSJ at this point but am looking for a good driver for weekend FS Road work.

A pickup would be good for that, unless you need to haul people. If you gut the interior of a GW (with the exceptions of seats) and rhino-line it, that would make a great FS road truck! And your tools would be locked up inside! :thumbsup:

Then a GW would be perfect!

[roundss]

I've kinda got a fsj. I've got 88 gw running gear under a 52 willys wagon body........does that count?

[lunchbox1671]

As a Forest Circus truck? I don't see why not...

[temps425]

Mill Creek WA here...saw one broke down off 405 North a couple weeks ago :thumbsup: I'm driving a really clean white GW 86 around Mill Creek and Everett right now...I always see a lifted black GW w/ a BJs off road sticker at my gym, LA fitness Mill Creek WA...always wondered whose that was...

You didn't happen to be down in Tacoma a few weeks back on the side of the road of Steele Street? I saw a white GW (late 80's w/hood ornament) in MINT condition there and flipped my car around to see if the guy needed help, but he took off before I got back there.

[Jim Blair]

You might spot an FSJ or two in the parking lot at the Bothell NAPA (where I work) but they won't be mine! (yet! Need to do more work. Eagle wagon will be done first!)

Checking in from Elk Plain... It's in the middle of Spanaway and Graham...

Name's Luey, I just bought our first Jeep... 1980 Cherokee Laredo W/T... I'm a Chevy guy and have a really modified K5 Blazer...

We picked up the Jeep for our daughter that turns 18 next month... I know wagonslayer from other forums, sure I'll run into a few more...

I'm a total noob when it comes to Jeeps, so I'll be asking some questions...

Just wanted to say hi...

[lunchbox1671]

Welcome! Make yourself at home. Lots of great info and advice on this website!

[Wayne]

Welcome to the fun.

[nw_upstart]

Arlington here! I see one or two other FSJ's every week, but can never catch them sitting still to introduce myself.

[Racin91]

One more from Spanaway.........

[jeepmonkey]

Lakebay, Key peninsula, by Gig Harbor. Would be totaly in on a meet and greet. All my buddies run Toys. Need some FSJ's to hange with. I'm afraid my head light will slant. lol

Everytime I introduce myself to other FSJ guys they usually look at me funny and say they don't know what a FSJ is and they hate their old Cherokee and can't wait to trade it in for a Toyota Prius. I still have yet to meet another FSJ nut in person.

[77'CherokeeNewGuy]

How you guys doing? I am new to the FSJ thing had a 73 CJ5 and got rid of that awhile ago wanted something I could build up again and carry people around in.

So I picked up a 77 Cherokee sport for dirt cheap with only 52k miles on it and I am ready to make it an awesome machine.

I am in yelm and hopefully I will get her up and going on the road this weekend. Hope to here from some fellow jeepsters and get together.

:worthless:
would love to see the rig!

[77'CherokeeNewGuy]

I would love to meet up sometime but right now I'm working on bringing her back to life... Just tonight I pulled all the interior and dropped the nasty headliner took out the driverside floor pan and got about halfway before I had to stop.. Last night I replaced the carb and last weekend the heater core... So I am busting it out trying to get her up and running.

Still need tags and powersteering bracket, replace the heater switches, hurculiner the entire thing, put new brackets for the seatsince the other ones are rusted through. If you have a bracket for P.S. Or seats let me know... We should get a big event for the Washington FSJ owners. Well talk to you later.

Hey Steve, welcome to the obsession!!!
If you ever need any help, let me know. I'm out in Buckley but my two best friends (also offroad enthusiasts, one a wrangler guy and the other a toyota guy) live in Yelm and Roy, and I find myself out that way all the time.
If you need parts, you need to call or email Heath (lives in Roy) 253-350-2584 boneshdm@aol.com. He buys wrecked FSJ's, takes the axles for the CJ and Wrangler guys, and parts out the rest.
There have been a few of us asking about a Meet & Greet and trail run/camp out sometime, but nobody's stepped up to organize it. TooRisky did a sweet run last year above Greenwater, but I missed out cause my Wagoneer wasn't ready.
If no one steps up to organize a trail run, I might have to. And I don't really want to. lol, I just wanna go.
Would be sweet to take over the Elbe Hills with a bunch of FJS's!!!! Confuse the heck out of all those little jeepers. :omfg:

[RedBeard2]

From Kettle Falls here. Work in Colville. Just picked me up a '91 Grand Wagoneer last month with a reported under 65k one owner miles. Could very well be, as is pretty clean. Funny, everything worked when I bought, now rear defrost and wiper don't work (probably wiring...my guess). She's a white woody FE. Just saw a dark wagoneer yesterday (black?), we smiled and waved at one another. Just not many of these old rigs left. I'm just a little frustrated because not even a month after I buy it, gas prices have gone up over 30 cents a gallon :mad: . My congressman better watch out for her job!

[77'CherokeeNewGuy]

Yeah tried Heath he is completely out of wagoneers but I'm sure I can find something, I'll have to post pictures of the new floor pans once they are done got the drivers side about 80% done and looking good. I can't wait to get her on the road but definetly we need to get a big group of FSJ's together. But before I go play I have to lift her and get some meaty tires so many plans with limited funds equals slow build time lol well talk with you guys later

No kidding? Heath's wife must have made him clean up the yard. Heck, I was there only 6 months ago when I got that power steering pump. That stuff went quick!

I'm in the same boat, stock suspension and tires on my waggy. Lift kit and tires are in the plans, but not any time soon. I just broke my wagoneer tonight actually. Rookie mistake, hooked up battery cables backwards and fried something. I feel retarded now.

Totally need to hook up and get a FSJ group started here locally.

[77'CherokeeNewGuy]

Sean,

tis tis tis lol jk... man that sux but hey good thing about these old jeeps is there not all technologically advanced with all the new computers, and sensors, and craziness!! So it shouldn't be to hard to get her going again probably blew some fuses or something simple.. We all make mistakes happens to the best of us but hey that's how we learn and progress into better back yard mechanics lol well good luck let me know if you need any assisstance I have a roommate that can troubleshoot anything... Talk to you later

Steve

[banjoguy]

Yeah, I'm thinkin it's just a fusible link or two that I cooked. Whatever it was, it sizzled and smoked like crazy and now my brand new alternator wont charge. I'm pissed and feel really stupid. I need my Jeep to get to work tomorrow! Grr...

[77'CherokeeNewGuy]

Well did you find the blown fuses and are you sure the alternator isn't charging? Hopefully you didn't fry that better hit up a parts store quick remove that beast and run it in there for a quick check on their machine then if it's toast you can grab a new one and fix it when you get back

It came out of a 77-80?All this is in good to excellent condition. The Got pictures too. Interested?

[77'CherokeeNewGuy]

Yeah I might be interested send pics to scook_19@hotmail.com, what are you looking to get for it all, I have a good to excellent grey interior right now but with the color I'm changing the truck too black would look better, I'm really needing the powersteering bracket for mine as well mine is broken and is allowing to much play while I'm turning and is allowing the belt to slip resulting in no powersteering and a terrible screetch... Well let me know thanks

Ya, about that..... it did have a Mercedes emblem.
The PO took it off as it was his Dads truck and it was sentimental to him.
All the better, except for the hole it left. Here's what I'm puting in its place to hide the hole.

http://i869.photobucket.com/albums/ab252/mattbrady/465.jpg

Made by a custom hotrod steering wheel company in Oregon. They sell trim pieces that match their steering wheels.
Approximately 4 inches long
Die-cast, bright chrome plated

[Randyre]

Thanks guys. So far I'm in love with this thing. And the PO did a few funky thinks to her (emblems, wiring etc), but mechanically he did some good stuff. He added a 4bbl carb, swapped out the axles for mid 80"s Cheby 1/2 ton with disks, and added power brakes. With only 78k miles on her and 55k on a new Buick 350 crate motor, I can't really complain. :thumbsup:

I just need to get the charging system fixed and brakes bled.:drivin:

Would love to meet up with some other FSJ around. Do we ever do any GTG's in the north Seattle area?

[REDONE]

Not since I've lived here, but I have managed to hunt down two of the other local members face to face in the last year. Tripwire and I have gotten together twice and nw_upstart and I have gotten together twice. I intend to have Tripwire and his wife over again when he gets back from Alaska.

I'm always down for get togethers, but you know how it is up here in the winter. It's dark when you go to work, it's dark when you get off work so you have to cram everything you wanna do that involves daylight (like meet new people or change your oil and a million other chores) into the tiny window between 9am-4pm on Saturday.:rolleyes:

Also everybody is still poor from holiday spending, but that being said, I could probably swing a couple take n' bake pizzas and some wings if everybody wanted to BYOB. :thumbsup:

I'm pretty sure I have the easiest place to find. Go to the everett mall, park behind Michaels and walk through the gate in the fence, it's that easy.

What saturday works best for everybody?


Also;

Welcome 4alpha! nice of you to join the ranks!:drivin:

[Randyre]

Give me a few to get mine roadworthy (the trip home from Monroe was scary to say the least) and I say just a meet in the local Denny's parking lot and then go inside for a Coffee or whatever. Does'nt have to be formal, or require anyone to clean up the mess afterward.

I used to be part of a british mini club in Seattle and once every other month we would meet at someones house just to wrench and jaw jack.

I'm gone every other week for work, so my schedule is a bit screwed up. But we should find a way to meet each other.

[4alpha]

Thanks for the welcomes :thumbsup:

[REDONE]

Yur welcome 4alpha. What do you do in Marysville, you look familiar.

Randyre, we'll work it out in the coming weeks but I agree. Our N Seattle membership seems to be growing too.:thumbsup:

[4alpha]

I live in marysville and work out in camano island. I drive the wagon to work sometimes but not to much cuz of fuel prices so i drive my wagon around town instead of my car to truck cuz id rather drive the wagon then the other cars lol.

[Jagged]

I'm from Sultan, WA and have a '67 M715 and '72 J4000, both in "project mode". The J4000 at least runs, but the PO drove it from Monroe to here and I haven't taken it any further than up the road and back. Lot of rust on it; so much so that the cab is pretty much toast and may need to be replaced.

I'm also looking for a Waggy to replace my ZJ that you see in the background of the 2nd picture. I'd keep 'em all, but I'm very close to the limit of my wife's stunningly awesome acceptance of my addiction. ;)

[REDONE]

Right on Jagged! Another N Greater Seattle member joins the ranks, and with an M715 no less! :thumbsup:

[TigertownJim]

Greetings from Republic! I just signed up again after an absence of several years while my two dead Grand Wags have collected dust.
When I lived in Portland (8 years ago) I was active here as RoofPrints. Then I moved north to the wilds of Washington, had an electrical fire, and moved on to other vehicles. Now, after those other vehicles systematically betraying me too, I've come full circle. I'm currently swapping the good drivetrain from my '87 GW that had the fire into my '89 GW that had a bad engine but good wiring. Definitely time to become active here again!
I currently have everything except the axles ripped out from under the '89, and am in the process of putting new parts on the good engine and removing grease and dry chemical. After I do a minor body lift I'll drop in the drivetrain and start putting it back together. Time, money, and weather definitely slow me down, but I hope to have it on the road sometime this spring. I'll post pictures sometime soon.

Excellent. Would be nice to see a Jtruck on the road. Mine is a donor for my YJ and my M715 because it was too rusted to do anything else with. I've seen a lot of ads on craigslist for Jtrucks that I wish I could buy, but my wife says I'm at my limit now and need to finish a project.

Sigh. ;) :banghead: :fsj:

[scorge30]

I too am in Marysville and just picked up an 1983 Cherokee Pioneer with a rebuilt AMC 360 and a blown TF 727.

After a nearly 30 year Jeepless stint I have recently caught the Jeep bug again. Local shop overhauled the TF 727 for me.

Now I am installing radio, and fixing the little things that irritate me like a leaking gas tank if I fill it more than 3/4 full.

The PO put Woody GW doors and tail gate on it, and the tail gate window does not work because the switches are shot.

Hey that sounds good. I am still getting familiar with my old Jeep and attempting to fix the small irritating problems.

I got my dash lights fixed, and the radio install is coming along.

[REDONE]

Very nice! nw_upstart and I can get a little rowdy but nobodies died yet. Let us know when you're ready and we'll drink some cider and talk about how awesome our Jeeps are, and how awesome they're gonna be. ;)

Gosh it's nice to be home again!! I'm on Camano Isl for the next two days, headed over to Forks for the weekend, and then I'll be bouncing around between Arlington, Everett, Edmonds, and Camano until next Monday!

[Carnuck]

Going hunting?

[CutterN55]

^^^
Nope. I wish I could get some fishing in, but I'm slammed for time. We're home for a memorial and trying to see as much fam as we can.


I did see a big J-truck with a black and white hood and a razor grill sitting beside a shop along the 20. I think I was passing through Port Angeles?

@Nw Upstart, was nice to meet you the other day. Nice rig too.

[scorge30]

Fishing should be just opening around here at a lot of the lakes. I am looking forward to taking my Chero over the pass to the Pot Holes and going after some small mouth and perch.

I took my class C RV off roading around the Pot Holes many years ago and the wife was not very happy with me. She was afraid it would get stuck.

My Chero actually gets better fuel economy than my class C RV so I'll be taking it to the Pot Holes and sleeping in the back rather than the RV.

[CutterN55]

i used to duck hunt over that way as a kid.
***********

Saw a bunch of wagoneers today. Green one in Kingston, Saw a yellow one with thin wood trim in Edmonds by the ferry, and a Rusted red one in Everett on Pacific Ave.

Redone- I was in your neighborhood today, I'm sorry I didn't have your number with me. I dropped off the wife and kids in Edmonds and had to run an errand over on Colby and Everett Ave. I even drove by the Red Robin on Everett Mall way. Would have been a perfect opportunity...

dang it!

[nw_upstart]

It was cool meeting you as well, thanks for stopping me on my way to my truck!

[MauryFarmer]

Hey all! I just caught the sickness last weekend when I drove a 66 Gladiator home from Portland. I'm on Vashon where there quite a few jeeps but it's mostly the little ones. I'm hoping mine will be a head turner! The PO used this site during his build which is how I found it. It will keep me going on his start for a long time, I think.

[78 WIDETRAC]

Did you buy Sparklighters Glad?

That is a sweet truck.

[MauryFarmer]

I was wondering if anyone would make the connection. He had a popular build thread.

I was lucky enough to become owner number three! I'm hoping to keep the progress. I'll be asking questions for sure. I can turn the bolts but I often need someone to tell me which ones.

Hello all. Great to see there are some FSJ people in the great North West. I just moved here from sunny Arizona about a month ago. Used to do alot of wheeling in the desert - rock crawlin and camping in the wilderness. I am looking forward to sampling some of the terrain up here. I'm located in Federal Way.

I have a 76 Cherokee I originally bought for its axles to fit under the CJ that my son wrecked. The cherokee was originally equipped with the straight 6 and 3 spd manual tranny (T15?) The engine in the cherokee was DOA so I decided to revive the cherokee instead of re-building the CJ. Now the Cherokee has a 304V8, T18A tranny, Dana 20 transfer with twin stick. the interesting thing is I used the CJ bell housing so, getting the stick shift to fit was fun to install. The motor has an edelbrock performer series intake with a modified Q-jet 4 bbl carb. tires are 33x12.5 on 15 steelies. 3 inch body lift with flipped shackles totaling to 6" lift. Lock right locker in the rear, Dana 44's front and back 4.09 ratio. Oh yeah, and the paint is scratched:thumbsup:

I'll post a pic as soon as I can figure out how to reduce the file size.

Hey, I picked up a J-4000 with a Buick 350 in it just before christmas. Finally got some time to work on it so I though I'd introduce myself. I'm in the Spokane area, originally from California.

Glad to hear from another Washington member. I do not get over to that side of the state much anymore.

OK, I think I have the picture thing figured out. Here is a pic of my 76 cherokee handling the terrain in AZ. Looking forward to doing some crawling up here in WA.
