NW WA Meet / BS Thread

No we have to convince him to lower it haha!

So I have this POS Ford Focus, and the wife wanted to trade it in for her Jeep, but its only worth maybe $1200. Sooo I told her Im going to just fix the engine up and keep it as a beater. It is so much fun to race around cause its so light and manual of course!

Oh anyone here race karts??

 

Hey now dont be hating on focus's! I have a '02. Makes a nice little beater car these days. its nice parking where ever i want and not giving a crap if someone dents it Plus it has been rock solid the whole time ive owned it. Only things wrong with it were 100% my fault. Always laugh when people bash on focus's then complain their subby or something isnt running right.




o and it feels great to be back in WA! I loved the rain yesterday lol. Plus the spare bedroom full of parts to install is a bit daunting! Just have to finish cleaning and reorganizing the garage before i start on the truck

 

Well, if you feel a bit overwhelmed with parts, I'll take them off your hands for you.

 

Whats going on for this weekend fellas? Anyone want to get out there?

 

Thinking about heading either to the coast or around Leavenworth area in the mountains

 

Haha thanks for the offer! Just got to get off my ass and really get to work. Its surprising how much crap i had to put away for being gone 8 months. Doesnt help soon as i get home i got the itch to completely reorganize my garage

 

Haha not hating that much. Its a super fun car to drive and whip around every where. And its had a hole in the transmission casing for over 3 years now thats been patched with a JB weld. Its been across the country over 5 times and down to CA probably 10 times, and its just now having an issue with its alternator haha. Its a little beast of a car, but still a POS haha.

 

My first vote is for eastern washington to avoid the rain that could come. Friday ill put my RTT on my truck and pack my camping stuff. Anyone else interested in a meet up this weekend? all welcome

 

Possibly...i have to see how much i actually get done tomorrow. Wish i had my RTT Soon tough! But o yeah that involves more work in the garage to build the pulley system. It never ends!!!


I will say though....mid day naps are amazing. Im kind of getting used to being up at 6 doing stuff till 11-12, take a 2-3 hour nap and go back at it!

 

If you need any help with the pulley system let me know and I'll take more pics of mine. My dad and I built it in a few hours.

 

Naps are awesome!

Lets us know, we are going to leave Saturday morning.

 

Welcome back to WA. though i can't say that i am there at the moment. Truck drivers get around... ya know? Currently in SoCal, Heading for Salt Lake City, UT area tomrrow. I know the feeling, i'm starting to accumulate parts myself in my closet at home... pretty soon they'll be on my bed and i'll have nowhere to sleep!

ORLY!? So you'll take them off my hands and apply them to MY tacoma right?

 

Im down for a trip on saturday, got a new gun and some rounds id like to shoot too

 

I have a pretty good idea how to do it. Seems to be pretty simple. Plus i got a hand winch lol.

Will do! Where you thinking of heading?

 

Leavenworth area

 

I might be down to go... Are you guys going to run some tuff trails or just fs roads?

 

Im not sure of whats even clear of snow yet so not sure. Im also debating on just installing some stuff this weekend and then doing a trip next weekend since its supposed to be nicer weather and warmer. Plus ill have my rear kings on by then

 

I think most of the sbows gone in alot of places. I dont have sliders or bumpers so nothing to difficult, maybe a little fun though offshoots of fire service roads

 

Just bought my tires. Might need to cut the cab here soon....

 

Ya... I was out last weekend and was really surprised when I ran into snow. It was about 2 feet deep and wet and I had to turn around. I finally had my cab mount chopped and it is so nice to not rub anymore! two thumbs up for Mule expedition in Issaquah
