Oregon and Washington BS thread

King James is staying!! No, sorry to hear about your job though I know you went through this not long ago..

 

I mean you can always try it and upgrade if you want but I definitely don't like how it is, my nose dives every time I break

 

SQUISHY IS GOOD

 

We aren't talking about Joana

 

I have 700# springs in my Icons I believe, but I also have a plate front and rear. winch, sliders, skids, steel roof-rack, gear everywhere etc....

 

Jeebus. 700's are stout. I tried them on my taco and it rode like a freight train and I was signalling martians with my headlights. You shouldn't tune ride height by spring rate, and with adjustable coils you don't have to. You want the softest springs possible to achieve your desired ride height (typically 50/50 uptravel, 60d/40up if you go fast). That's why they make adjustable coilovers... The trick to having plush suspension is matching the spring rate to the valving. I know, dark arts stuff.

In other news I saw some blue grouse as big as chickens today and I couldn't shoot them. (work)

 

Exactly. I'm still mixed feelings on my 700s... I have hardly any preload and I sit high... I dunno...

Dang those are big. I haven't got a grouse since last year in Montana. Great eatin when camping

 

The only thing I killed this weekend was 3 ruffled grouse. :bash: sounded like world war 3 between 6:50am and 8:00. Nothing but does the next 3 days. :bash: did find a dead white tail someone has left to waste. It was a legal buck, but some asshole left it. It looked like it pretty much dropped where it was shot. I thought about tagging it but it had been sitting there in the sun for at least 6 hrs.

Meeting up with @JDAM in 20min or so to find some BT's on the wetside.

 

Thanks for the input...and smacking me upside the back of the head with the adjustable coilovers that I paid extra to have. I've even got the wrenches in my tool bag.

I have never once changed their setting, so they are still wherever my mechanic had them when he installed them. Ok, I'm not going to stress over getting under armor (I spelled it differently to avoid litigation). I don't have the front/rear steel bumpers and no roof rack.

I'm sure I'll be fine if I stop there.

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAAAAAAAAAA

 

Finally remembered to grab some pics while i was doing exhaust fix to go hit DEQ

 

Hearing some cyotes within about 100 yards of my house yipping a lot.. Never been this close before. May have some new furs by tomorrow morning

 

Furs.......

 

Fucking autocorrect. No idea why it did that

 

Meh, I'm not perfect either. Sometimes my phone has a hard time deciding if I'm talking about the past present or future.

 

Holy crap. Weird feeling today. Got an epidural to try to help with the pain in my back, basically turned my back into a pin cushion as they tried to get the right spot. Then it happened, needle rubbing on bone.

 

oh god that sounds horrible

 

Son of a bitch. Got a little too horny with the steam cleaner at work and ripped right through the paint.

 

Wow

 

Bedliner the whole thing and that won't happen again. Plus you can just give it a bird bath with a garden hose and it will be clean.
