NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Well fuck I seem to have messed up my wiring for all my switches and accessories. Got the overhead console switches and wires all ran then decided to add the buss bar for negative in the engine bay. Hooked up the main negative (to the bussman fuse box) and turned my cb switch on.....which instead of turning on my CB it now lights up my winch In/Out switch. Turned truck on and the dimmer lights dont come on now.

Well crap Id planned on redoing the wiring (make it cleaner) but guess Ill be doing it sooner than I had planned lol.

But Im proud of myself, instead of banging my head in frustration I walked away...think thats a first for me! Ill work on it tomorrow. Its probably nothing major but rather just a short somewhere so Im not tooooo terribly worried. But itll be nice to redo the wiring and add a negative bus bar and another bus bar (for the one with ignition power via a relay instead of a add a fuse thingy).

 

BUILD DAY AT BOB'S!
Plus, dive bar around the corner for after!

 

If you don't mind a crude working area ground wise or tool wise, its just gravel and I don't have an air compressor so things are done the old fashioned way. I've got about 2-3' rounds of wood on stand by for jack stands and only a high lift jack to get said rounds under the frame.

The local dive her in fall city now has new owners. They have dumped some money into the place the last 3 months. Some additions to the menu, and some other beers and liquors. The only thing left to change now is probably the cigarette stained ceiling panels. Probably haven't been changed since the state banned smoking in bars. They even put a door on the toilet!

 

Ok, BUILD DAY AT MY HOUSE!

Bummer about the bar. It's the yuppie-I-fication of all the cool stuff that made Fall City and NB unique.

 

@bobsuruncle I miss hillbilly jack stands...

 

id be down to host one at my place if we could manage to cget the shop projects that we have in an orderly fashion. With that in mind i can firmly place the ETA at never

I know you're a big "do-it-yourself" guy and I'm sure the setup you built works, but just in case(or for anyone else) check this out...

Got my first ticket in the Tacoma today (excluding school-zone camera ones, sob) 73 in a carpool alone. But I think bitching about the Oregon driver doing 60 in the left lane got me some sympathy from the trooper. wrote me for 10 over, and said "i dont care about the carpool"

 

Is Idaho new to you? I've seen you around TW but would have swore you where not in the NW...

 

The LA Kings avatar threw me off too.

 

I moved to Idaho in September.

Hey guys, just introducing myself... moved to Wa, bought the truck, and joined the forum about two years ago. I've seen some of the builds you have and they are awesome. Looking forward to meeting you.
