NW WA Meet / BS Thread

To be fair its pretty extensive modifications... Not sure many "average joes" could do that all. Dynatrac PR 80 in the rear, 60 up front, 14" coil overs, canti lever rear etc..

 

Depends on the line you take

 

I have a locker.. still haven't fixed my winch yet though ha

 

Definitely, I can understand. But shipping a truck to another state and it come back a massive monster isn't as cool as having a place do it with at least ppl u know and can have a chance at turning wrenches and stuff. It looked like he had triple bypass and 1 or 2 shocks (don't remember exactly) surely that's something the garage wheeler can install.

Still, kudos for a cool ride, just less street-cred in my book (which no one reads haha)

 

Da owner iz from Hawaii and knows my family back home. Small world. I met him and hiz wife at the NW OVERLAND RALLY this past 2016. He owns hiz own business and are real nice people

 

Made it up this with ease. Being locked helps

Thanks I will check it out at a later date, at my leasuire then. I should have my lift, tires, and bed bobbedd in 2 months. Alas the 3 link will have to wait.

 

My buddy will be coming.

He does not have a locker. 3" lift and some meaty 33" tires.

 

Jessie?

K, fine. Add me to the list.

 

@zhekakz thanks for selling me a complete set of SSM fender flares! Very happy that I didn't have to pay the price for brand new and now my truck will be complete again.

 

I'm proof that running boards should be removed. These are from the same roots at different times. As for mud flaps, I didn't realize I lost one until someone from a different group found it.

 

@twalchlii1 knows to take off the trailer hitch harness

 

The quickest way is rocks.

 

I guess it's time for you to come check out my nice new *heated* garage, eh?

 

Yeah. We're going to do his CVs and OTREs before hand.

 

This all is great, would any one have any interet in the Back Country Discovery route this spring, maybe a 4 day deal?

 

I think with the snowpack this year, that route wouldn't be possible until probably July at the earliest

 

When is the earliest you have ran it?

 

We started on August 13th when we went.

In addition to a lot of snow this year, 4 days is not much time. We took 4 days to do it (if I remember correctly) and had no down time at all. Up early to get on the trail, drove all day, and went to bed late.

I'll go ahead and say the chances of you getting over the WABDR in the spring are slim to none.

 

We've been up on some sections around Memorial Day but that was after a record low snow year. And most trails don't open until June 15th. If it keeps snowing like it has this winter, you won't be able to do it until late June/early July, if that.

 

Ha! I think know exactly where that is on the surprise lake trail! No prob with Tahuya, lots of routes.
