Oregon and Washington BS thread

What part of Beaverton? Almost no one I work with is from Oregon let alone this country so I have kind of given up on the git out of my state thing. Besides at least you're not a Smug Prius Californian coming up bitching I'm in SW Beaverton so wave if you see this around;

 

I know!! Thankfully my sister and her husband are taking their boat out on the Columbia (likely with every other boat) on Thursday, and my daughter being on spring break is a perfect reason to take the day off

I'm in Beaverton ... Love the Coors Light hood mod too

 

I grew up in NorCal and our traffic up here (over the last 5 years) has REALLY worsened.

 

Ordered up all my steel for a HC rear bumper! Pics incoming over the next few days

 

Quit driving up to Vancouver in rush hour traffic... or out to the east side of town lol

 

Lol, thanks! Only trying it out for a year, you won't have to worry

Rain isn't a bother for me.... I will miss burgers from In-n-Out though!

^^^ True. Not really any traffic here unless you count tractors crossing the road pulling crop. Also, yes 80 is a little warm but not bad compared to the 108 degrees it can hit here in the valley. I can't say that I won't miss Visalia though.

SW around 99th. I'll be sure to wave when I see your rig around. What if I had a prius with full armor??

 

if it's on 35" tires and has a crawl box... then you're cool in my book

 

My Prius has a 511:1 crawl ratio, you won't see me zipping around, lol.

 

Also, does anyone here train in JiuJitsu or Muay Thai? I'll need a gym to keep my mind off of missing home.

 

Anybody going to rock therapy in june?

 

I know two people who train at Impact Jiu Jitsu, but Five Rings is closer to the area that you're looking for a place

 

According to WSDOT crews were supposed to start today up 410!!!

 

Those are two academies that came up when I searched. Will be visiting them for a roll now and then. Thanks.

 

X2 with impact. That's the only one I see around or have noticed. There is a UFC gym ;D

 

And they might already be regretting that! Snowing up there tonight. Telemetry is still down for Chinook but Crystal Mt. is showing 2" new and still snowing. Stevens could get up to a foot though!

 

HOLY WOW! I had to look that up for myself haha

 

Thought I saw @Chickenmunga today on my way home.

Was thinking about tsf

@jammdogg can't wait to see the beast, did you get sliders on and everything else your heart desires? You will be there this year I hope

 

oh great brain trust of TW, please give me the wisdom to determine rear gear ratio without counting ring/pinion teeth.

Tried this method:
Place rear axle on jackstands but chock one of the tires,
Place mark on driveshaft and tire,
Place transmission into N,
Spin tire 10 times and count number of revolutions of d/s.

my results = 10 tire rotations = 21 3/4 D/S rotation
Doesn't equal 4.10 nor 4.56?!?!?

Cornfused...

 

Have your gears been changed or are they factory? There's a number/letter combo on the door jam that designates factory gear ratio.

I think it's the second set of numbers in the middle. The first set is the trim package. Since I know I have a A750F tranny, I'd assume the set before that designates gear ratio. The A/TM set.

 

You must have hosed something up. If one turn of one tire spins the driveshaft 4.5 revolutions...4.56. Just jack up one side, leave the other on the ground. Maybe tape string to the driveshaft so you don't miscount turns.
