NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Just got my alignment done with the new suspension setup. Anyone know about these numbers? Any feedback?

 

That's really good and right where you want the numbers to be.

 

Thankyou. I'm completely ignorant of alignment numbers.

 

What uca?? Those numbers are money.

 

Total chaos uniball

 

Noted for future.

 

Those are very rare also!

 

I've been in love with the GQ patrol for the last year. Those patrols are beast. Some guys push 1000lb of tq out of them..

 

I just took it off.

 

I drove my F250 on a snowmobile trail once (fs road in the winter). All was going well until it broke through the crust and slid part way off the road. I got it out after much digging. This was not a good idea I don't recommend it, it was an adventure by my definition.

 

welp, this guy finds out tomorrow if hes getting a new transmission! thank god its still under powertrain warranty and I have not fucked with it. I was correct, it is the solenoid in the xmsn. the guy was surprised that I diagnosed it correctly (to the exact solenoid in the xmsn) and when I pulled out the OEM manual repair sheet that they used (from my 05+ OEM Repair manual) he was a little puzzled at how I knew how to get a hold of all that. I printed off the 5 pgs that covered that problem as credibility that I wasnt a crazy person and had a very good idea what the problem was, so they couldn't bullshit me.

hopefully Fidelity doesnt make a hassle out of it and gives them the authorization code tomorrow to swap it. Toyota told me to (THE service manager) that toyota does not "repair" engines or xmsns, it is not cost effective. it is cheaper to drop any sort of faulty engine or xmsn, and plug a new up back in than the time it would take to drop it, take off the cover, replace the solenoid, and reinstall. I guess it makes sense on a corporate level, when they are turning 100 cars/day over in service versus our type of ppl that fix things themselves. I told him the part is around 250-300 dollars and all it takes is the xmsn case to be dropped, unscrew the old one, put new on in, and gasket/install the pan and youre done. he said yea we just spent 2-3 cars worth of $$/time on 1, when dropping the xmsn and puttin a new one on would be done in no time.

heres to tomorrow (fingers crossed)

 

You interested in taking it as a project? If so, PM me your cell number and I'll text pics to you. My phone is a pain in the ass to put pics online

 

No, but thank you. I seriously have three big projects going right now! I wish though.

 

Just passing this story on.
This is family so I don't have any more info than what they told me.
Passing judgment not welcome.

Uncle and cousins have property in Forks, Wa and go elk hunting annually.

This year they bagged two elks (don't know the number of racks and whatnot).
They had finished up gutting, separating the meat and heading back to cabin/truck.

Mountain lion pops out in front of them and starts aggressive moves toward them.
Cousin has no choice to eliminate the threat.
They called the ranger to report what happened.
No one wants to see a big cat predator killed for what it naturally does.

They also applied for a permit to keep it and have it sent to a taxidermist.

 

Nice. My coworkers son was bear hunting last year around Manastash and this was stalking them..

 

You want to sell it?

 

those are very nice cats! I'd love to take one. Been hunting several years now and and have yet to see a cougar. I'm sure they see me. Saved some deer that's for sure.

 

Look at all that pussy..... I've yet to see a cat in the wild..

 

But they have seen you

 

Anyone here delt with URD? Made an order on the 29th and it still says processing. I can understand shipping will take up to 5 days from the east coast, but for no update in a week as to shipping or order status is BS imo. I've sent a pm to gadget so I'll see what happens. Money has changed hands according to my bank. I've ordered from them in the past but not had delayed issues like this. Maybe it's the holiday season. :dunno:
