    When you're welding them on you want the fit to be perfect so that's why you would test fit them with the legs off first. But yeah, you want the legs welded on the sliders completely prior to welding them to the frame. I'm getting my sliders welded on this Sunday.

    @JDAM caught a few rocks on our magruder/lolo trip last year, but I stand firm that he was following too close! :crapstorm:

    Are floor mats a mod?
    Yup! Went to Nisqually wetlands to take some bird pics, then installed my Firestik on relentless hood mount. 1.5 SWR on 1 and 40. Victory! Did external ground cuz I didn't want to grind the powder coat. Sandwiched the ground between the flat washer and the nylon washer. Continuity tested at 2 OHMs, so pretty good connection.image.jpg

    I'm thinking Evans Creek. Never been there, want to poke around a bit. I have to get a car through emissions first thing in the morning, so I'm thinking leaving here at 10 or so.

    Welp, my coils arrived today. I really need to update my shipping address to my house. Every thing I order goes to my parents so I have to drive and get them. One of these days......

    Anyone tried using a ratchet strap to compress coils before?

    @JeffRoyJenkins @James Lee I asked him about sliders before and he said $60/hr and probably less than 2 hours to get them zipped on.

    Would you feel differently about it if we did something off of I90? I'm all by myself, so not hard to change the plans

    I'd stay away from Darrington area. Warm weather = avalanches and mud slides, thats one of the most prone areas in Washington for land slides. We gotta take a trip to the land slide @Greddy and I found last year this summer, Bigger than the Oso one but hardly any one knows about this one
