NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I still have some healthy taco lean, CO's are set equal.. need to change that after skids/winch/rack...

 

I think to adjust that much caster, they tweak the LCA front and back adjustments. Firestone Tacoma Mall had no prob getting 3 deg for me. Didn't even blink at selling me the lifetime alignment. ( of course, I am their landlord, so that may have had some bearing...)

 

Gat that tent and some gear in there, and Ull flatten right out!

 

TruLine claimed 3° caster was "maxed out", but we all know that's not entirely true. I'm no suspension expert but do understand there's always a sacrifice when pushing these numbers. Perhaps they only go to 3° because anything higher starts to have an exponential effect on camber and toe, thus limiting their ability to hit proper 'spec' ranges. I'm sure liability also plays into this somewhere...

 

Longshot guys, but I have two questions
1) Does anyone have a spare rear step plate, the little plastic cover under the license plate? possibly for you guys with plate bumpers and old stock ones laying around.
2) Does anyone have a recommended shop to get vehicle vinyl wrapped North of Seattle? Thanks!

 

@GSPRunner could surely point you in the right direction for a wrap.

 

Vehicle Wrap: Northwestautosalon.com in Lynwood

 

Your garage. Im serious on this, it's stupid simple. It was definitely daunting going in but it's so easy to do!

 

anyone want to do something this weekend? camping or wheeling or both?

 

If my suspension doesn't show up, then I might be down!

 

I think @Greddy was wanting to do something.

 

If you drive a supercar and/or have unlimited expendable income, I'll second Northwest Auto Salon =p.

 

Neither of those are me. Haha thanks for the input though guys.

 

So, tore somebody's bumper apart with my winch today... Not off, apart.

 

Pics?

 

When I get home.

 

I'm still up here. Evans creek, channel 23 if anyone wants to come find me

 

@JimSnell, bumper slayer.

 

Anyone know a good welder in the Auburn area? Need to do CMC, don't want to drive to Vancouver to use my welder.

 

The story continues... Met up with two guys in a tube armored toyota pickup on 35 boggers with a broken front locker. Evans creek is open, btw. There was snow. We made it halfway through the campground. Then on the way out we encountered a guy in a Cherokee, on 35 boggers. He was using a strap to tow his 3/4 ton 2wd pickup with bald street tires. And the trailer he'd brought the Cherokee in on. Except now the Cherokee wouldn't run. So we had a rig on each end to turn his pickup and trailer around. This is in a few feet of snow. Then I had to tow him all the way back to the parking lot while the other guys towed the Cherokee. It was a fucking winchfest.

Before you ask, I only got a couple pictures before the winchfest started.
