NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I wanna see about setting up another snow run this weekend if possible. Anybody got recommendations?

 

Gallagher or North Mountain?
@northwesttaco ???

 

I might

Only problem is tonight the snow level is 4500ft, then jumps up to 7000ft tomorrow and stays there for the rest of the week. So the mountain tops get rain and the snow turns isn't very good.
Gallagher was muddy as fuck last weekend though. Plus there are A LOT of new potholes on that main FS road.. I couldn't believe how many new ones there are.

 

Either way me and the girlfriend really wanna get in a wheeling trip this weekend.

@Nylaia wants stock approved and I'm sure we can find something light but still challenging enough.

How far is everyone willing to drive? And who all is interested in going, let's get a trip set up.

 

I should be in depending on location.

 

I'd go but I'm installing my lockers and gears this weekend... it's supposed to be shitty weather ad well.

 

Are the gears plug/play?

 

Should be. I plan on doing one diff at a a time. I'll start the rear end tomorrow before work because i still need the truck to get to work. Then ill do the front end later this weekend. Still have to run airlines and breather lines while the armor is off..

 

Guess what just showed up?

 

My Christmas present from you...

 

I'm going to go as far to say I'm not your secret santa...

 

Rear diff installed.... wow the truck rides nicer..... so much power back!

 

That's good that it isn't secret anymore. What ratio did you get?

 

4.56

 

Exactly the same here

 

automatic transmission? are you going to go up to 35" tires? I'm a ways away from regear and front locker but still trying to decide.

 

Yes auto tranny.... I can step up to 35s from my 33s if I take my rack off... I have parking garage problems....I'll probably run 35s but I'm going to go LT first. The speedometer reads 2mph under at this moment.

 

I say crappy weather or not let's get a list going

 

I feel you there. I'm going for the regear as well, but when is the question. I am pretty sure I'm going 4.88, but I would rather overgear like that than not have power. I'm already manual trans and 2.7l power plant, which came with the 4.11 gears. I felt a big difference just going to 31s. 33s would kill me, but with 4.88, I could reasonably put up to 35s on, and still get around.

 

You can sell those 4.11s and make a killing.. tons of guys want those....
