Oregon and Washington BS thread

I thought there was a company making an option for a bed rack with a trifold. I thought it was a vendor on here. Kb voodoo maybe? I'd look but I'm on my phone

 

Found a little snow in the coast range today.

 

Where at? I was out at Mary's Peak this afternoon.

 

Just south of there, on prairie mountain.

 

I'm gonna look for it!

 

Nooooooo lol

 

Did a flush/fill on the transmission (4 quarts with OEM type 4).
No records or clue when it was ever changed by prior owner and I am at 95k.
$hit came out like burgundy thick cloudy rotten smelling syrup.
New stuff was clear and smooth.

I'll drop the pan next time and use another 4 quarts of OEM type 4.
Shifting is smoother, but reverse is still somewhat firmer than normal.

That is interesting. In stock form, our V-6 makes more power, but it's very easy to get to 750+hp on a stock bottom end. I bet that fucker eats third members for breakfast.

 

Looks to be single turbo swap. I bet that thing eats more than thirds. :boost:

 

You're looking to trade your truck in for something new. You've personalized your truck with some tasteful mods (lift, tires, bumper, lights, etc). Do you take it off and put it close back to stock prior or trade it in as is?

 

I'd go back to stock if at all possible. You know they won't pay more for what you've got on it, but will charge the next person a lot more for what's already on it lol.

 

Take it to the dealer and get a written down trade in value of how it is now versus how it would be stock. Not often but some dealerships will give you more for mods.

 

Sell it yourself, you always get more money that way. Otherwise, you get stuck on the trade and on the other end buying a new one. They sure do make it convenient though. There is a dealership over here that will deliver the new car to your driveway and take your trade. You don't even have to get up off the couch.

 

Well, pricing a nitrogen tank setup. Apparently there isn't a single fucking automotive or motorsport place in the entire Portland/metro area that is equiped to fill shocks with nitrogen.

 

Wouldn't one of the hippie downhill bike shops have it?

 

unless downhill bikes have changes significantly in the last few years, we always just used atmospheric air via shock pump on all bike suspension.

 

Hey...it's better than NO fucking place to get it done...

 

Well, Costco big box store that fills tires with nitrogen, at least they do here at the one next to Corp in 'Quah

 

Usually the issue with charging the shocks is having the required fitting. Filling tires is not the same as charging a shock. For my foxes, getting them filled required a regulator the could handle the small volume and high pressure of the charge and a special fitting that fit the shock valve.
