Oregon and Washington BS thread

Sounds good. Can you stop by tomorrow?

 

Not sure if I can. Purchased it over a year ago. So far they are 2 out of 4 for alignment.

What time will you be home? I go back to work tomorrow so I don't get off until 630pm. If I remember correctly the way bar link only connects to the spindles and forget what else needs to get bolted on..

 

Surprisingly they do.

Open Length = 608mm (23.937")
Closed Length = 352mm (13.8583")

Lol seriously, wtF??

 

I like how the comments are disabled. Must have been some good stuff getting posted.

 

That guy's a member on here. There's a thread dedicated to his derpiness.

funny it made it on Tosh.O though, would like to hear his commentary.


edit: found it - http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/off-roading-trails/288944-wasnt-one-you-guys-regardless-watch-your-arms-while-wheeling.html

 

Lol I bet! Youtube and yahoo users are like a pack of hyenas hahah

Looking at it again..he doesn't come anywhere close for his natural instinct to kick in to put his arm out.

Ben, I'd love to find what TW members have to say after seeing that

 

Lol, I put the link above, and there's another thread in there too. Typical and appropriate responses to an injury like that......Deeeee-yurrrrrpppppp!

 

To be entirely honest, I would be lying if I said I hadn't put my arm out the window to slap things on the trail. I guess with the wrong timing and the right bump that could easily happen. Granted, he was doing more than a quick slap. Still, I think I'll curb that urge haha.

 

I've done it too, actually that same thing, but I remembered to pull my arm in once the gas was applied. I do it while walking too, slapping poles, signs, asses. just one of those things, like spitting off a high place.

 

which firestone did you got to? hopefully not the one off tv hwy. they suck ass.. i even just got my alignment checked with my 3linked sas with no problems or hassle. i'd go somewhere else. if not, tell them to refund you the money as they can do the alignment.. that's what i did..

 

Super BS. Firestone's been serving me for about a year now and I've had the bar out before I even moved up here.

 

Ha, just saw the fracture video. I almost pulled a move like that - RelentlessTaco was driving me in a side by side and we pulled a super off-camber move. Instinct made me shoot my arm out to 'catch our fall', and I was lucky to have the little voice in my head say, "pull your hand in, dumbass!"

 

lol, yup. I wish that little voice would tell me "check your side mirrors, dumbass!"

 

HA! Stupid mirrors...still need to replace my passenger one...

 

So I started making a template to turn one of my cubbies into a sub box. It finally hit me, I have the walls cut out, why not use that expanding foam stuff to cover the floor and walls and then sand it down for the proper clearances for whatever I build the box out of? Should be far more accurate and easier to get to hug the cubby floor than cutting and taping construction paper, right? Then I would have a badass template if people showed enough interest...crank those babies out!

 

Hello fellow Northwest-ians!
Just got my first taco over labor day weekend, and figured i would introduce myself.
I also have a '90 toy as a wheeler.
This looks like a nice group of guys!
