NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Sucks! Unfortunately I've seen that twice with my 8" diff!

 

Sloppy back lash from the factory?

 

Short notice but thought I 'd post this for anyone that was interested......

Was in the area so stopped by. 3 rigs. Nice folks. 1 guy does SAR with a Commander of all,things, but has it tricked out pretty nicely, 1 gen1 with a rack and tent, 1 4r4 stock.

 

Was it the one featured on OB's vehicle feature video?

 

Thanks @JimSnell for your help with my seats today in your heated garage!
BTW, what Jim meant by heated garage is that he has a BIG gas FIREPLACE with a blower on it.

In his garage.

Was like Miami in June! ( ok not really but plenty warm)
Winter builds at Jims house!

 

Yeah I think so. Nice guy.

 

Poor assemble on the first gear swap, none of the lock tabs where bent. Second one was a combo of hard driving and too much axle wrap. Now rocking a Currie big bearing 9" and 35 spline axles.

 

anyone familiar or a part of this?

Seems like it's mainly in Oregon. Most guys on this thread are in Washington

 

Some newer guys created a thread they called 'Greater Portland Meet Thread', or something like that. Things took off, they had the thread name changed, decided to make stickers. It's basically just people in Portland/Hillsboro/Beaverton (and one guy from Salem) doing the same stuff you guys do, just further south. Facebook group was also started, and it's harder to keep up with than any of the NW regional threads.

 

Oh okay. Another NW thread that is relevant to us is the annual NW meet at Browns camp. Can't remember the name of that one though

 

Spent the weekend over in Chelan for Winterfest and took the girl to hit up a winery on the way out of town yesterday. Had this nice Pinzgauer park next to me while we were inside, I think they use it to do tours of all the wineries over there.

 

I past you on hwy 2 last week, must have been on your way out. They use those mainly for zip line tours I believe but might also be other tours as well.

 

They have a couple of those. Saw two of em when I was up there this summer. They do Winery tours mostly from what the guy i talked to said. But in the summer you can charter them for the day and go see other stuff. Prices werent to bad if i remember right. Like 300 bucks for 4 hours or something (but holds 10 people)

 

oh ok, just wasnt sure

 

Scheduled Meet thread. It was supposed to be a single place of where you could find what the next big run was, back in the day before we had a lot of these other threads (back then I couldn't get Washingtonians to do anything, lol). It devolved into just being about the annual TSF meet, since everything splintered off and the OG's from those days aren't forum regulars either. The thread gets used for just the annual meet since I wrote such a big ass encompassing OP that keeps us from having to reply to questions each year. I'll probably have a mod rename it for this go-round.

 

Oh okay. I hope a lot of people go this year and we make it more than 10 trucks. I fully plan on coming as long as it isn't the week before, or of finals week.

Also you can rename it yourself if you are the OP. On the top right of the thread look for thread tools, then click edit name.

 

When does the meet normally happen?
