Oregon and Washington BS thread

I'm off tomorrow, want to come down this way and go sling some mushy snow?

Ya. I built it when I was stationed in SoCal, and living out in the desert. All with a manual tubing bender, battery powered MIG welder (readywelder), and battery powered hand tools. All DOM tubing, to SCORE specs, tied to the frame in 14 places etc. It's kind of overkill up here, but it's nice to know if you flop it you'll probably live.

 

Anyone in Salem want to go grab a beer at 7ish? Wife and sister are taking the kid to go see a movie downtown.

 

Yea I've been stuck in DT traffic, it sucks but I'm never really in a rush. I was in Portland not too long ago but I enjoyed driving around Beaverton more.

Not really looking to buy since I think we will only be located there for 3yrs. We still want to roam around, maybe end up in Monterey, and yes sir I am from Visalia. You know the town?

Question. Any off-road shops there? Not necessarily hardcore shops but maybe some places to recharge my piggy backs or even a re-valve now and then.

 

Sadly, this is very true.

Right on! Yea, Visalia is my hometown. I had my childhood down there and my oldest sister still lives down there along with a couple of my nieces and nephews. Last time I went there was in 2011 for an unfortunate family event. I'm sure it'll be a nice change of scenery and environment for you when you're up here.

As for an off-road shop to recharge your stuff, I know @Bobert14 had to recharge his not long ago. I don't remember who he went through..I want to say it was with Hillsboro Motosports?

 

I couldn't find anyone that would do it. I just got a shock filling tool finally and will hopefully be picking up a nitrogen tank this week.

 

It'll fit... i think lol

 

I have all weather floor mats from my 15 DCSB that need a new home. I'll also be getting my bumpers in shortly and I'll have no use for my RockBlokz mud flaps if anyone is interested. PM me and we can talk pricing...cheap.

 

Anyone else have a CENTER bearing going south (not the carrier bearing, I think there is some confusion in terms) ???

Look here for the group buy-> here

 

So, what is the confusion? No, my CB was good when I replaced my ujoints, but that GB is very tempting.

 

I love the crew max but I can'y justify getting a full size truck that has an even more useless bed than mine. Mine barely fits my dirtbike as is...

 

I hear you there. But i got it more for towing my the water toys.

 

Damn good deal right there. If I wasn't so far away I'd snag em.

 

If I didn't just put 265/75/16 BFG AT KO2s on my derped stock alloys I'd pick those up in a heart beat just for the wheels.

 

Since we plan on having a second more then likely the Tacoma is going to be gone. I like the Tundras but hate the mpg compared to other full size trucks. I don't do a lot of hauling and really only use the bed a couple times a year.

As of now we are looking at full-size trucks and full size SUVs

 

That gets the same mpg as your Tacoma did?

 

Me too. I don't understand the point

 

Maybe people that don't know how to load 4wheelers? I dunno. My Uncle has one on his F-350 with an ATV winch mounted near the roof line. He uses it to load elk, that seems a use for them.

 

No way man. My buddy had one, towing a small atv trailer it would get 8mpg. EIGHT mpg! They do seem to last forever though. http://www.trucktrend.com/features/1602-the-million-mile-2007-toyota-tundra/

 

That's what I figured. They advertise 13-19 I believe
