NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Sultan Basin Rd. Crowded and icy.

 

What size are the tires? @GSPRunner may know a guy.

 

Oh, f ing DUH! What a thing to forget! 265/70/17. I edited the post. Sorry!

 

Yeah my buddy is looking for some tires, how much you want?

 

PM coming

 

Went up FS 18 towards Segelsen ridge near Darrington today with some Jeep buddies and a brand new 4Runner with less than 1k miles on it. It is supposed to be a snowmobile trail but there was no gate so we went on up until we all got stuck in about 3 foot deep mush. Had some fun winching back around, roasted some weenies and headed back down. One guy made it halfway up the mountain in an AWD Chevy Astrovan.

 

When is the next meet up? I just moved to Silverdale!

 

How about next Saturday at my place for a get together/mod day?

 

KILLING ME! Will be in B.C., and have SO much to do on my truck! Oh well....

Was up there last saturday and pulled a unimog out at the top

 

Nice shitty Prinsu rack. Oh yeah, everyone loves Prinsu on here

 

I know you had a bad experience but I've have a good one. Well made in my opinion, just have to drill the holes correctly in the rubber strip and it should line up perfectly

 

In leavenworth next sat or I'd come just to say hi and give a hand.

 

That was the first time I'd been up there, didn't put two and two together.

 

Well, went and spent about 45min at mule today. Ended up with some winch rope and a new hause fairlead. Debating if I should keep my cable for an extension and clamp some hoops on it or just junk it.

What's the recommendation for rope install? The guy at mule said to just duct tape the first wrap on the drum, no screw. The rope i got is the TJM 18k rope and it doesn't have a hole for the screw at the end.

Holy s, my existing fairlead is a pita to remove. Also, it doesn't look like the factor 55 aluminum fairlead will fit inside my ARB. It's maybe 1/8" too wide.

 

Saw a nice first gen grey this morning headed towards Everett naval base. Was pulling a boat. Anyone on here?

 

What is this "mule" you speak of?

 

Mule expedition outfitters in Issaquah. Ill be there all day Jan 9th for them to replace my steering rack bushings. Really good work, but expensive.

 

I need to replace 1 brake line still. So I can come to do that. But if Im the only one no need to do a mod day for just that (since itll take all of 15 minutes)

 

I'll have the check them out. Have fun on the 9th. I'll be in Whistler...
