Oregon and Washington BS thread

If I didn't need some dough to pay off the lift and tires that have already been installed....that would be a fun idea ......if you have the money to give away tires...you should do the burn out video anyways LOL

 

Meh, KUFO was very tired and deserved to die. Same song set over and over. KISW has more variety but what the hell is with Seattle's obsession with Guns n' Roses?
My fav is still KQXR in Idaho.

 

That's the case of CL and TW, you need to make your deal so good that it's cheaper to throw it away. The best offer for my like new condition TRD mats has been $40 shipped. After lost work and the drive across town, I'd be losing money so I'll probably just toss them in the trash.

the tires/rims you can probably sell for about $200 local. I can't get rid of my spare for $25.

front shocks I gave away, and the only person who wanted them was a Canadian. I made a tiny amount off of shipping, just enough for a meal at McDonalds.

rear shocks I packaged with stock UCAs for $100

I know some call it taboo to list out prices like this, but I hate playing games and I don't like trying to sell to moochers... thought I'd save you time.

 

Mike.. I'll take that spare for $20.. Only need the rim..

 

Hey that works for me, though I've never wrestled a tire off a rim. When are you in the area?

PS, I'm playing with the idea of revisiting the OMD spring conversion and hoped you had some pointers to give out? I tried reading how to know how long the springs should be and haven't found anything about it.

 

Totally true. Every time ive ever bought then sold aftermaket, you always loose a ton of money. Or trying to sell OEM, you cant get hardly anything for it.

 

Bump for lunch. Looks like there are only 4 of us right now.

 

Leaving Kodiak on the 14th.. Should be in Bellingham on the 15th. Not sure when I'll make it down your way; maybe within the month?

I could definitely give you some pointers on the OMDs.. Very happy with how mine came out, even have some leafs left over that may work.

Stay in touch,

Jake

 

I've got the leafs, so no prob there.

 

I haven't listened to it (KUFO) in probably 15 years, but they used to play some good tunes.

 

Is anyone from Portland heading up to Seattle soon? Or anyone from Seattle coming down to Portland? I need to get Tallon's canopy back to him and I'm gonna be out of town again for the next couple weekends

 

nope..

 

Can you meet me Friday evening at the Lucky Lab? I'm not sure what time I'll be getting there, probably 8PM.

 

Which one? I can't meet you there since I'll be gone, but if you wouldn't mind I could give you my address and have you pick it up

 

Actually, Gary are you heading north anytime soon?

 

I would sell a right nut in a hurry.

Had a bad middle to my day learning that my Galaxy S4 was shot and I have to wait 2 days before I can get a replacement as it is a manufacturer defect......the day ended nicely though when I spotted some deer on a muddy side road.....subsequently the truck got dirty Bummer right

 

Anyone got an extra offroad wheel they are wanting to part with for free/cheap? I am getting new shoes on the truck soon and I am thinking of throwing a regular offroad tire on for the spare so I can use all 5 for rotating.

 

maybe end of the month, not sure

 

did some pretty informal number crunching on MPG savings.

having a camper on vs. having an open rear:
I gain 1 MPG with the camper, which resulted in an average savings of $0.001 per mile

camper on, 92 premium vs. standard 86:
I gain 1 MPG with premium, which resulted in an additional cost of $0.003 per mile
