NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Ever try promotive?

 

Might be postponing this one fellas.. looks Highway 39 is still snow covered, don't think it would really be worth heading out there.

Possibly be able to get a long weekend sometime in May, though..

Going to do some more research and update tomorrow...

Walker is about ten minutes from my house. Definitely a 4x4 required area.

 

fucking god. why do you have to do it memorial day? Thats the day before I leave for moab. do it a different weekend and I would be glad to join you guys.

thats pretty bad ass man. how long you been fishing it? What boat are you on.

 

It's a 3 day weekend.

I don't think I have to feel too sorry if you are already getting time off for Moab

 

Well ya, but you guys are wheelin in my back yard. I wanna play too

 

Yeah, didn't want to get too crazy being alone. I've never been to Walker Valley, hell I haven't been many places at all! So I am definitely down.

 

I can help out from the tech industry with discounted software - things like Windows or xBOX Live memberships. No hardware parts.

 

Yep, but the Promotive discount varies a bunch by brand. Lots of good deals though.

Hmmm- Just built myself a new PC.

 

Can you get me a sweet deal on SQL Server Enterprise?

 

Sorry I missed out on the fun times! Seems like it was good!

So who wants to go wheeling this Saturday? Since I have no idea about most of the trails I may just take a friend back to high steel bridge. However, if other people are down and have some recommendations, let's brush up on our Spanish, pack our backpack, and have an adventure! Heh heh.

 

Now I know where I'm coming when I update my live membership...

 

You know 6 years ago when I started working, they had SQL Standard at the store but it was like $700 IIRC. Not sure how many seat licenses that covered but it was actually available for purchase because a buddy got a copy from me at the time.

Today the only server product available for us is Server 2012 Essentials.

 

Windows 8 Pro...

 

Yeah that was a nice little finish to the evening! Thanks for having us over.

Kinda wish I stayed a few more minutes for pizza Scare on snacks when I got home.

 

So, uh, I guess I should sub to this thread since I will be moving to the Seattle area in July. So, hello .

 

Has anyone here dealt with 2nd gen front end issues? I'm at 90k miles and have developed a serious front end growl in the last couple months. I'm very familiar with the diff vibes, particularly the ones that go away in 4wd, and I'm fairly convinced that's not the problem because mine doesn't go away in 4wd.

Mine becomes noticeable at 12-13mph, gets louder with speed, and goes away when I get my steering wheel turned about 1/4 turn to the right. I haven't diagnosed it yet, but my initial thought is passenger wheel bearing (my thought is passenger, as load is taken off that side when I'm turning right).

Anyone local experienced this, or had to do their wheel bearings?

 

Wheel bearings. Don't let them get much worse. Wheel could potentially come off.

 

You can check them. Jack up the wheel off the ground and try rocking the wheel back and forth top and bottom. If it rocks that's the bad bearing

 

Appreciate the advice, I've done lots of wheel bearings in the past but I'm wondering if anyone local has experienced particular growl like mine, or done their bearings, because they sound like a pain on the 2nd gens.
