NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I want to go but I can't

 

I tend to avoid the resorts on the weekends. usually ends up being a crowded mess lol. Especially since the heaviest snow is supposed to be tonight so the roads shouldnt be bad Saturday.

I just have to get the master cylinder on my car done this weekend and hopefully get the truck to the dealership as well

 

Join the club lol. That's what I've been working on this week. Should have it finished tomorrow. Lemme know if your Pelfrey Fuse panel fits kinda retarded...

 

Yep. It is a little wonky. I have been in touch with Satin. The weight of equipment should bring the panel down or you can bend it a little more. As far as mine covering part of the OEM fuse block, they stated that was normal. My brake reservoir is different than the one on the website and takes up more room.

 

Gotcha. Cool thanks for the Info man. Just spent $33 on more wire. I'm using 4 gauge to the blue seas

 

Yeah I hear ya, but since I only, maybe have Saturday off, I'm going to try to go..not super worried about the crowds, cuz I'll move around or go to baker and do hike ups on the glades. Either way, it'll be fun and beats working any Day!plus Baker is almost never packed like Crystal.

 

Definitely beats work! Hopefully after this weekend I'll have free weekends again! Or more have my truck again lol

 

Winch is done!

 

@JimSnell Was the bumper and winch install difficult? I was looking to install mine this weekend.

 

It really wasn't bad. It was real tight, slightly frustrating a couple times (read; I had an anger stroke). The bumper was real easy, everything fit well enough. Hardest part was figuring out how to disassemble all those clips in the grill and bumper cover. The winch was easy, just had to remover the framework in front of the grill to get it wedged in there. Electric connections all went very well. Bolts were hard to get in in some places, and the fairlead bolts weren't long enough. And I'm going to have to repaint the bumper now, because I kinda scratched to shit out of it. I'd definitely say it's doable in a day, for both winch and bumper. Because I did it in two pieces I didn't need any help due to the weight.

 

Thanks. Looks good!

 

Just saw on the news that crystal will be at full operation tomorrow. I can just imagine now, the line going from green water to the Blvd, then the line up the Blvd, park in lot z, wait to buy a ticket, wait to get on the chair blah blah. I'm sure it will be a Charlie foxtrot. Baker should be awesome though. Hopefully this is one of many snow storms this season.

 

Even though it's a lot longer drive I have been going to Baker more than Stevens the past few years (last year doesn't count because it wasn't worth going anywhere) because with my schedule I usually have to take a week day off anyway and it is always wide open during the week. That and the snow is usually the best around.

 

Most of the boarding I do is at baker! Best snow within a 3 hour drive. Hoping to get out a few times in the new year! Hopefully they have a wicked base by then! I'm sure our current weather isn't hurting

 

Stevens during the week usually isnt to crowded at least. I like Stevens for the backcountry options. It get a lot less backcountry folks ive found. I do plan to start going to Baker more though. They actually allow free camping in their lots unlike everywhere else!

 

My wheel bearing should be here today. I guess I know what I'm doing this weekend.

 

Do you have the socket for it?

 

My friend assured me he does

 

If he doesn't the auto parts store will. It's common enough they carry them.

 

Yeah I know my local Napa has it. I was about to buy one when he told me he had one.
