NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Just something to think about with FOX vs King. King has a 7/8" shaft, you have to pay much more for that with Fox. Also King is known to have a way better clear coating on them.

Awesome!

 

Nice Mike!! I've heard good things about them so glad you are too.

 

Going to do some new car test driving for the wife next weekend, need a larger mid size suv and I'm finding that there aren't many options out there anymore. I sure wish the new 4Runner was a V8!
Anyway, dose anyone here own or have an opinion on the Nissan Armada? I want something that's not too big for her to use for work, negotiating parking garages and such, but has a 6,500lb towing capacity min.

 

Anyone interested in a lane sectional?

 

Armada's are pretty big. I don't personally have any experience but a good friend has owned a 04 Titan since it was new and it's been a good truck to him. Lots of power.

 

My problem is that I don't think I'll find what I really want. A mid sized suv with v8 power. I don't have $82K to spend on a landcruiser, but they are awesome.

 

The new ford expeditions are nice, or if you wanted a little smaller the explorer isn't bad. The sequoia I think you can still get with a V8 right? Those are the size of the Armada

 

Finally catching up on everything. Lots happened today it sounds like.

Damn that is a long time to wait for parts.

Nice!

From all the stuff on the different vendors, think i might be looking into Rebel Offroad for my King's and UCA's. Sounds like DSM is a hassle on wait times. But i dont have any experience with them so just have to price everything out and see.

Why do you need a relocation kit with King 2.0 shocks?

 

They aren't a wait hassle if they have it in stock, which 99% of times they have the common stuff in (coil overs, UCA's etc...) Its just that the 12" travel kings aren't as common for people to order I think.

Well you don't have to.. Just the 2.0's aren't tacoma specific so you'd have to go with 10" and make your own bracket. I just thought what the hell, found BAMF's relocation for a good price (compared to pelfreybilts ) and you get more travel and can go up to a 12" travel shock.

 

Oh okay that makes sense.
The 12" would be a better option and if BAMF already makes a relocation bracket then that makes it a lot easier to decide haha!

Just have to call them first and check to see if they have everything i guess.

 

Yup, it does end up costing a little more but you get a lot more travel

 

Worth it!!
I need to get this project started so i can get out to some meets with you guys.

 

Haha you can go as is! I went on my first TW meet completely stock and didn't make to much of a fool of myself haha

Anyone else had this happen before? In the last 2 weeks now i've been one of the first on scene for 3 major accidents.. 2 were motorcycle crashes. Just seems weird since before this I barely ever passed any accidents.

 

All you need for some ease of mind is sliders!

 

Haha yeah ill give it a try whenever the next meet is!
Definitely been looking into sliders.

 

Time to learn some CPR?

 

I've been certified for a while. I work as a surgical assistant up in Arlington so I have to be certified

 

I'm certified through work on a lot of that stuff and have only seen 2 accidents that required my assistance in 12 years of training.

 

I've been through the cert twice and I wish I was required to practice one a month. I feel like I'd screw something up even though it's a really basic thing.

 

My last class taught just compressions. I think I can handle those. The other emergency procedures would come back to me I think.
