NW WA Meet / BS Thread

This still happening?

 

That works for me. I work m-f and am off at 12:30 every day. This weekend would work for me too.

 

@LAoffroadin we still good for Friday?

Did you die, @LAoffroadin ?? If so, sorry for lacking compassion.

 

Buehler? Buehler?

 

I will be there!

 

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Latest update as of 17March for the 20 March run!


So...I'm planning and trying my hand at putting a run together.

DATE: Sunday, March 20th.
Time: 08:00 meet time and leaving the parking lot @ 08:30.
Meeting Place: Burlington at Haggen Food & Pharmacy parking lot. Address: 757 Haggen Dr, Burlington, WA 98233
Wheeling area: I have been a couple times and it's fairly easy. Power line roads and trails that branch off from there. (I do NOT have GPS location).
There are some pretty deep mud holes. I have not extensively explored the area, but its a fun area! Some of the trails go down to the Sauk River and follow it a bit.
Directions to wheeling area: From Burlington, take HWY 20 East past Concrete to Rockport and turn RIGHT onto HWY 530, cross over the Skagit River and down about 1 mile on the RIGHT there is a turn-off onto a dirt road that accesses the power line roads. I will recognize the turn-off when I see it. It's been a while.
Guns: I have NOT seen anyone shooting the couple times I have been there however, I have seen a few places that will work for a shooting area.
Food and Relax Afterwards: There is the Birdsview Brewing Company at 38302 Washington 20, Concrete, WA 98237. Just past Baker Lake Rd. Good food and Beer/Drinks (Non alcohol also).

NOTE: -Bring your recovery gear!
-I don't have a air compressor yet so I hope someone has one that will share?

Anyone been up sultan basin road lately? Thinking to go pop off a few rounds on my way back from Leavenworth.

 

Here are the pics of my friend's TRD OR

 

I was up there in December but not lately. If I didn't work today i'd go with you

Damn..

 

Probably be able to pop that panel out from the inside pretty well, but the scratches aren't exactly going to just buff out. A body shop would probably quote replacing the door skin as the cheapest fix.

 

Fuckin A, I tried to tell my boss I'm obligated to take the day off but he wasn't buying it.

 

Yeah the door skins can be replaced - we were talking about pulling the inside door panels and beating them back into "shape"

Its more the door sills and the rocker panels that are a bitch. They got pretty screwed up.

 

If it were my truck, I'd just go to town with a deadblow hammer and a 2x4 for the sills. Short of a body guy having his way with it it's not to look new again.

 

I need one....

 

Call or go by today. The shop looks a little sketchy but has nothing but good reviews on it. Guys name is Wayne, and tell him your with us for next Tuesday

 

Re-skin the doors, and just add sliders hugged to the rockers. You will no longer see the damage!

 

UGGH! I can't un-see that...

 

If it was my 2016 Tacoma, I'd take it to a body shop and have it repaired correctly.

 

I'll give him a call a bit later. Working until next Friday which would be the first day I'd be able to head down there. Did he give any kind of time for how long it would take for the reroute? (ie. something that can be done in a couple of hours or do they need the truck for a day?)
