NW WA Meet / BS Thread

well you will need these to properly install the bolt ons call me at 253-293-2530 you could use the nut/bolts but they are a pain to install.

fyi these riveting bolts make it easier in the sense that you drill the holes into the frame slightly smaller, and the riveting bolts will thread the hole as they are screwed in.

sweet. I'm looking at buying either a new xcf-w 350 or a used xc 200 2t

 

The new 350 is sickkk

 

updated pic..

 

Oh! Yeah, I know those! Always called them self tapping..good idea! Where were you 6 months ago when I was installing mine?
Any issues with not having washers to bolster the back?

 

self tapping = proper terminology lol i don't forsee any issues without washers. just as a precautionary wouldn't hurt to throw a little thread lock to help ensure they don't back out but not necessary..

 

Anyone seen these? Got it at the big ranger station in Vancouver. Free! Going to order the rest of the Wa set. The FS roads and trails were pretty accurate when I went out there last month.

 

nice i have the older version

 

WSP Officer- where is your license plate?
Alex- Ummmmm......

 

I'll come, I'm in Gorgetown.

 

It's not there? Some one must have took it off.....hah

 

Ooooh more than 1 round in the chamber at a time??? You will have to show me this trick.

Haha, sorry I couldn't help myself. That is pretty lame at the ranges that won't let you load multiple rounds though, as long as you aren't shooting uncontrolled I don't see the issue.

Not sure if you are talking about the time I was up there with you guys but I do remember spending a little time hiding behind an engine block from a women getting a little scary with her muzzle control.

I would say I am in for the meet and greets too but chances are with my schedule working nights I won't be able to make many of them.

 

Hmmmm.... Greasy spoon breakfast meet ups! A whole nuther dimension!

 

Yeah that was the same time @JeffRoyJenkins !

 

Yeah Kenmore only lets you load one at a time, unless its a rimfire, then its 5! 5 whole rounds at a time!

 

OK well whatever you people with your dive bars. Call me upper class . Regardless, it surprises me how few places will carry a good stout.

@twalchlii1 , we had one run-in at Naches where a guy warned us that not having an MVUM incurs a ticket. I don't know if that's legitimate because the guy claimed to be an officer in a jeep that looked more 'proclaimed volunteer' rather than 'police issue'.
Regardless, I know the MVUM are the most complete thing you can get, and there was a law at some point that stated that road usage followed the key of the MVUM. If it wasn't on the MVUM, you can't drive it.

 

@LAoffroadin
You can toss me on the list, I'm out in Issaquah. Regarding meet up locations I'd suggest 'Triple XXX', it's a classic meet up spot that can handle large groups.

 

Prolly one of @dakotastoyota 's buddy's trying to protect their turf.

 

This the one?
