Oregon and Washington BS thread

I'll just leave this here Hope you all are doing great!!!

 

Youll probably end up doing mostly slower speed stuff. Around Bellingham is going to be more forested trails. You can find places to go fast but nothing like being in the desert.

 

I just stopped by Michaels Toyota in Bellevue and saw that they had a bunch of SCS wheels both in the parts department and installed on rigs they are selling.

Damn fine looking wheels.

 

Hmmm... I wonder what their markup is.

 

3000000000% michaels is the worst!

 

Hey they are in Bellevue! Mucho dinero in that area!

 

Yeah I wasn't happy with the outcome of my frame inspection. I took it to them and got the feeling they just blew me out the door. They didn't even chop my gas pedal for that recall either.

 

Nice suspension is always a wise investment, no matter how fast you go. Besides, Eastern Washington contains a vast desert with lots of high speed roads if you are so inclined. Mostly gravel farm roads, but you would still appreciate decent shocks out there. Shoot, I appreciate them in a walmart parking lot.

 

I actually bought my truck from them, but the service dept is a joke. Would NEVER take my truck there.

 

Didn't look at the price, but it was pretty cool to see them in several models and finishes in person up close. They had a Tundra with pretty dope 20" bronze Stealth6s and a 4Runner with S5s. Guess I didn't realize that the dealerships were selling SCS wheels.

I bought mine there too. The service dept does suck balls. Got a few free oil changes from them but haven't been back in a long time. I'm thinking about getting a 4Runner Trail (for teh wife, keeping the Taco) and had an hour to kill at a nearby jobsite so I stopped in.

 

Not off-road, but you should definitely checkout Chuckanut drive. I've done plenty of 'runs' on that road.

 

Spent plenty of time there negotiating my supercharger, and then later negotiating my tires to not only match Discount but provide a free alignment at a later date, for after I later did my lift. Was able to get one of the last west coast superchargers shipped from Cali for free, below shop rate supercharger install, free loaner during my SC install, tires matched to Discount price, free TPS sensor transfer to new wheels. Blew everyone else out of the water. Service was top notch. They stock 5100s to install by request, carry a ton of aftermarket gear/wheels and of course install spacer lifts on lot trucks and jack the price for idiots. Don't talk to the service people. Go straight to the TRD department, these guys will over see and baby your truck. Only dealer I've been too with a dedicated TRD dept, other dealers has no idea what I was talking about. However, I've never gone there for regular service.

 

Anyone in the Beaverton/Hillsboro area with Icon or OME setups on your Gen2? I know @Spixelz has the Icon setup so I'm looking for an OME rig. I'm considering the OME group buy with 886s or 885s with top spacers.

If it wasn't a bother, I'd like to see what the trucks feel like driving around (as a passenger is fine, ) on roads etc.

Let me know!

 

Started working on my truck a little before 11. Cody ended up helping me (I didn't think he was free today) replace two hubs and we got done around 2:30ish. Feels good to have my truck back. Thanks again, Cody, for taking the time out of your day off to come help bang stuff around.

 

Anytime! Happy you have your truck back. Even though I hardly drive mine anymore, I hate the feeling when I know it's not capable of being driven. Next time we will do something about my lift...

 

Okay guys I decided... I want a hard top canopy. Just gonna be way easier with the dog and sleeping when camping! What are your suggestions out there!?

 

Hahah the lift comment still cracks me up!

 

I've have many, and currently running a Leer 180 due to the extra head room. What features are you looking for?

Honestly just something to throw my dog in while driving and somewhere to sleep when camping yet still be appealing to the eye. Nothing to special . I'm just tired of vacuuming put every couple days cause of dog hair .
