NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Sweet! What are your plans for your current set up? Have a buyer yet

 

No I don't, you interested?

 

Yep, I'll pm for details

 

Got it home. Carnage.

 

Ouch

 

Holy shit man! Glad you got it out!

 

"Found" a ditch? how do you Find a ditch? was it in the middle of the road?
-C

 

Under estimated the corner slid off and ended up in the ditch. Speed was a factor also. Came in a little too hot.

 

Ah ha! so the truth comes out! glad you're ok though and didn't end up with worse damage.

 

Thanks.

 

Wish I had the $1600 to spend on the total chaos lca's. Found a OEM replacement with bj and bushings for $125.

 

You can't wait for dakota? Or is that your DD?

 

It's my dd but the boss doesn't mind me driving the work truck home. I actually didn't order it, my buddy decided to go ahead and order one on his account for me. It will be here in the morning.

While I appreciate @dakotasyota 's offer, getting to and from eburg would be difficult.

 

That was quick.

 

At that point I'd just save up the extra $$ and go long travel

Btw, might be picking up a tube bender in the next few weeks, you're invited to come up to the shop and see if we can make some metal stick together in the form of some sliders

 

Anyone heard of this guy or used his services? Wondering if he does car/truck wheels.

That's where I was at. I was like, well I need to rebuild my UCAs and tie rods, but obviously I want to upgrade my UCAs so this doesn't happen again, then well if I'm upgrading my UCAs to something nice I might as well get a cool extended travel coilover to go with it.... Well I also did just see two people destroy their stock LCAs... I should upgrade that too... Ah screw it just go LT!

 

If I hadn't just spent almost $700 on new UCA's I'd probably be considering LT.

 

Yeah, I'm kind of in the same boat. Also I was considering the effect (if any) on towing.

Chickenmunga Mike - if you could do it all over again, would you go LT?

 

Interesting, I lost my subscription to this thread...

No, because the cost is still greater than where I'm at now. A solid mid travel setup I think is the best option for the PNW, unless you are username.
If I could do things over, I would start out with the Kings + AP rear, do a better UCA, and probably not have messed with the bushings and ball joints.
I'd also have just bought a Pelfrey rear bumper. Talon did a great job for me and saved me some cash, but ultimately I still have some work to do on it that I'm not sure how to quite do.

Actually, the best setup is a commuter + an offroader you don't care about, but it all comes down to space, right?
