Oregon and Washington BS thread

You could always put the $ towards a bigger flip, if you can find one.
Hard to find good deals on stuff to flip around here. People either think their stuff is gold, or they are trying to sell a (not always polished) turd.

 

I sat here for a solid 5 minutes trying to figure out what was different in the pics. I was like "did he pull out a dent? Paint something? Are the windows lightly tinted now? Oh, DUH, he got the lift installed."

A farm field in Oregon? I'm gonna guess Brownsville. ???

 

They sell polished turds of gold down there in Myrtle Creek?

(I grew up in Drain, OR and can relate.)

 

I think my 4wd actuator might be out again. On my way to work this morning on a nice straight section of road, I put it in 4hi just to spin the fluid around a bit. Before taking the next turn I put it back to 2wd, seemed good. Parked my truck then took off in it to go to a other building, and my 4wd dash light is blinking. It's in 2wd, but keeps blinking and won't go into 4wd, at least not in the short drive I tried for it. What is even worse is that when I saw this happen before a few years ago, I took my nearly brand new truck back to the dealership I got it from and they supposedly replaced the actuator then. My truck is 5 years old.

 

check your vacuum lines

 

I thought the 4wd was all electronic on 2nd gen

 

I'm not sure, but didn't think twice about it being different. Oops

 

Yep. They buy a turd at one yard sale, spray paint it, then try to sell it at theirs.

 

Spray paint turns "well used" stuff into "almost/like new".

 

I'm located in Junction City.

 

It is electronic.

 

CBI Front plate bumper ordered! Stoked to mount that bad boy up. Have any of you guys heard of Tuff Stuff winches? Looking at this one here:

Nice on the CBI!

Not sure about the "tuff stuff", price seems amazing!

Personally, I would steer clear of the wireless winch, especially after Jan 2016 North Mountain with @northwesttaco.
When attempting to use the wireless controller, his winch started operating by itself, counter to what he was requesting it do...

 

Haven't seen these before but it certainly catches my attention for price.

 

Hello neighbor. Also in Fairwood.

Nope but MREs have a relatively short shelf life; they're not non perishable as many people think.

 

I really like the CBI stuff. I've had their rear bumper for about a year and have been very happy with it. I decided to take a leap of faith and try that winch out as well. It supposedly comes with both a wired and wireless remote so that makes me feel a little better. How can you beat $399 with free shipping and a synthetic line?! Hopefully it doesn't let me down when I go to Moab in another month and a half.

 

We do need to have a bar night in our area. Whether it be in Fairwood, or we go over to Maple Valley/Covington somewhere.

 

Storage temperature can prolong life but yes

 

I think I have my blinking 4wd light diagnosed with solution to come. Sounds like the actuator on the front diff has blades touching from the actuator motor to the supply power, theoretically making the motor in the housing replaceable. There is no hard connection other than touching of blades, which over time bend out and cause the motor power to not have a connection. The solution is to saulder the leads. I have the tools between where I'm at in OR and home, but not all together. Luckily, I am going home this weekend, and those sounds like about an hour fix.

 

They're non perishable if you're brave enough.
