NW WA Meet / BS Thread

yes sir you're right. never again.

 

Going to be working all week in Bothell, driving back and forth from ellensburg, how bad is the traffic from i90/405 to Bothell?

 

In the mornings from i90 to bothell it isn't bad since everyone is going south into the city. How ever getting into issaquah on i90 will suck

 

Okay that shouldn't be to bad then since it sounds like i'm going against traffic. Been working in downtown seattle & portland for the past 3 weeks, which isn't to bad, but i hate 405 and never really go north.

 

Yeah there is hardly any traffic once you get on 405 north in the mornings

 

You can cut off at Fall City, then take Redmond Fall City Rd. Generally, traffic blows monkey balls heading south. Where in Bothell will you be working? That is my old stomping grounds, where I graduated high school, and mom still lives there.

 

They were awesome when I was installing the gears. I had a 24 hr turn around time for the truck, so 1 month out I explained to them how I had literally 1 day to get this done and driving in from out of town (TN). a month out, they set aside all the parts that I needed and just kept them separate waiting for me. I gave then a week out heads up, and a 1 day heads up. everything went off without a hitch. They were great.

I wasnt sure if I had to give them my core first or they could send me out a third member. I will DEF work with them if they can do the third and i send mine in after i install the good one, thats a no brainer. Ill call this week to verify!

 

I'm doing some work at cascadia community college

 

Awesome! So jelly!

 

They will send the third out first and you can mail your in after. I think you have 30 days? But I think you have to pay the core deposit which gets refunded when they get your core. @northwesttaco can tell ya for sure since he did it somewhat recently

 

This is correct

 

At what time? Between 6:30am and 9am through Issaquah to 405 is murder some days. I havent been north or south on 405 on the weekdays lately but last saturday it took me an hour to get to Benson/petrovitsky via 90/405 from fall city. Should have just taken 18 and come in the back way. The shittiest part is if traffic's going south from 90 to 405, they block up the whole lane to get on 405 N.

Shit like this makes me glad I work 2 miles from my house.

 

Once you get on i90 north of Bellevue it's prettt much wide open in the mornings since 90% of people are going south into the city

 

Thanks.

which locker did you go with NWtaco?

 

ARB front and rear

 

They do... I just sent my cores back on saturday.

 

I-90 to Bothell sucks through Bellevue - get left as fast as you can and stay there. Bothell to I-90 sucks no matter what time of day. Don't attempt I-90 to Bothell after 4:00, it's a lost cause, especially beyond 522.

Issaquah to I-90 or vise versa isn't that bad. Get out of Bellevue and it's clear sailing, especially if you avoid exit 15...and exit 17. Issy to 405 does suck if you leave Issy after 7:00. Then again, anything sucks between 7:00-10:00 AM and 4:00-7:00 PM.

 

Thanks fellas I'll look a little more into it when I get closer to doing the lift.

 

nice, any issues or complaints? and did you install yourself?

thats good, so if I can get the whole third member unit, the install should be pretty easy then!

@velillen

 

also, does this look like the correct one?
