NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Lift? In the car port? Or am I thinking of Bob's?

 

The carport I've thrown a picture up of with bob? Nein, my parents live up the hill for me and have a 30x70 shop that's getting a vehicle lift within the next month.

 

What about them sliders?!?!

 

Hey peeps! Is anyone here great with vinyl decal installations or know a great company? I received these from my TWSS and don't want to chance effing it up with my install attempts... Can pay or treat to dinner/drinks? Thanks in advance!

 

Join us........ you know you want to

 

You will now have about 150 new best friends! And lots of beer presents!

 

Saving $ up! Minor stumbler is Kris wants to go to Galapagos and Michu Pichu, which is about $15k. Going to buy piece by piece, and stockpile till i have it all. Hopefully by may/June.

 

Is that civilian owned LMTV? Haha

 

No CTIS on the LMTV?

 

You can buy a lot of military vehicles on the surplus market. LMTV's go from anywhere from 10k to 30k depending on condition and layout. Same you can sometimes buy old dozers, humvees, ect too. They do tend to be a sort of "hope its all there" sort of deal though. The auction company only does minimal testing (does it turn on, does it have brakes, that sort of stuff) so you could end up with one that was cannibalized for the good parts and replaced with meh parts

 

Yep, I've seen that first hand. Not with old milsurp, but with heavy equipment bought at auctions. Boss man thinks he got a helluva deal until it gets off the low boy at the shop and it's puking oil and barely running. Every now and then you'll get a diamond in the ruff for a steal. Fresh coat of cat yellow will hide problems long enough to get it across the show floor and bid on. We've had do dump a few or more a few times into machines bought at auction to turn around and send it back to auction and cut losses. lol.

 

Balls out for harambe

 

Where do you live? My Mom is a pro and would be happy to do it, she's in Gig Harbor.

 

Thanks for the offer! But I'm in Edmonds...

 

Nope, I graduated with a computer science degree. I didn't go past a bachelor's, though, so you can't call me Dr. Chicken

 

That's why I tend to spend more time lurking than posting Pirate has a pretty good rule of thumb for determining the resistance based off of how stuck the vehicle is:

I could have sworn that was one of the courses I took... Dequavian Engineering 101, with lab work. It's been a few years though, I might be mistaken.

 

Welp, I'm actually a legit TW member now. Bought a 2017 Mag Grey DBLCBSB TRD OR today.

 

Keeping the runner?

 

i too am starting to look into purchasing one. let me know what you think of it. I have not started doing homework yet on buying one but if it worked out id like to help ya build something with it sometime. my first project is going to be a new front baja design bumper...nothing wrong with the one I got, just want to make my own haha

 

Unfortunately no...
