NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Not bad really, just a couple dents in the door, and yes on the uninsured. It means I have to pay my deductible though.

 

And get to rewrap the truck.

 

Wait what's tha hi lift mount? As I remember you had it vertical before. Looks clean now!

 

1 big reason I got the swing is that I realized that if rear clearance is compromised at all by rocks or ruts or whatever, you can't get your spare out from under the truck!

 

Make her pay, or turn her in.

 

It is on the NE corner of 228th and Bothell Everett Hwy. On the side where the new PCC grocery is and where the Albertson's used to be.

 

Evergreen autoworks ask for Scott. He does great work, I'm biased though...he is my uncle

How bad is it to wrap? I've been thinking about wrapping mine if I ever get it get back

 

The Albertsons closed? Both my younger brothers took turns working the taco time there too. I guess I've been away for a little while. My mom is still living just north of thrashers corner. All around her, there are cookie cutter houses being stamped in. If she got a loan and did a short platt, she could put 7 houses on her lot. I told her to go get a million dollar loan, contract out having her double wide torn out and stamp in the houses, then sell them 6 months later when they are built, then have a cool $750k to a million after paying everything off. All the places near her are starting at $375k and going to bidding wars.

I don't miss the shitty traffic over there. 20 min to get from canyon park to thrashers corner any given weekday from about 4-6pm is just stupid.

 

The part at 12:45 and 22:00 was not anything like that for me. I wailed like mad to get mine off. The dimple in the top of the spline is designed to help center a joint puller, mine kept slipping off because the arms weren't sharp enough to bite the sides. When getting it back on, I was only able to have it rest at the edges of the splines before I used a piece of round steel that fit inside the tulip wheels to pound a hammer on.

 

Here's what I wrote back from when I did it; unfortunately I didn't document what it took to put back on

 

Maybe the CV design is different between yours and the 1st gen?

 

I'm just issuing fair warning is all

 

Thanks. It's good information!

 

Anyone in Forks this weekend? https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/who-did-i-meet-in-forks-wa.445278/

 

Your lovely wife pointed out that I kept hitting it on shit when we were rock crawling down that hill at Tahuya. The hill Brian and I took. So I welded up some tabs and mounted it horiz. It's bolted on by lug nuts.

 

There is another one in totem lake by my house off exit 20

 

Anyone here ride dirt bikes? Was thinking maybe a Tahuya ride/camp trip next Saturday-Sunday.

 

Looks like fun!!!

 

Tahuya is the best for dirt bike in the state. I rode quad not dirt bike but I remember all the switchbacks and tight trails were more suited for a bike.

 

I like it! Still regret not doing that route.
Next time.
