Idaho BS thread in the PNW

Finally got most of the parts to get my truck repaired tomorrow. Got a set of lightly used Fox Coilovers to replace the Icons since the passenger side is bent badly, used total chaos UCAs to replace the bent passenger side total chaos UCA, lower control arms from Rock Auto and a set of used knuckles with total chaos gussets welded on that should be back from the powder coater tomorrow. Can't wait to get this thing back up and running.

 

bRAppppp!!!!!

 

My god I'm so tired of this shitty cold and snow! Can't wait to get up and do some spring sunny day trail adventures!

 

Lol mother of god we've got so much snow pack it might be may by time I'm able to get to some of my spots

 

They are needed if I want to run these things

 

You'd have to take the wheels off from one side just to trailer it with the oversized load sign

 

I need to talk to the port of entry and see whats legal. I see tractors being trailered down the roads all the time. Guess I'll just have to see. Though the farthest itll go is to the lake to see if it floats

 

Found this SAS's monster on Craigslist kinda cool swapping with the 4.0.. don't know if $42,000 cool though.

Alright guys, I'm still fairly new to the area. I'm in Pullman/Moscow Wanting to go for a hike this weekend within an hour or hour and a half drive. Suggestions? i was looking at either the saint joe national forest or umatilla... Just have a new bag I'd like to do some testing on and get into the wilderness again.

 

Spent half the morning on lockdown because of a manhunt. That was interesting.

 

Did they find him?

 

SWAT found him on the long end of their rifles

 

Did they ask him to get off? who the fuck when being hunted gets ontop of the SWAT teams rifles.

 

Do stupid things win stupid prizes! When you shoot at cops, they shoot back with 1 to 100 of their closest friends!

 

yeah Im done with winter....snow melted off and finally slid off the roof taking out my satellite dish....Finally got back internet again!!! I had the dish guy mount it to a tree so it should be good now. I dont know how people in Alaska deal with snow/cold 8+ months of the year...I guess thats why I like Idaho so much, we get winters but they dont last all year!

 

Our porch has a huge hole in it where it ripped the mounts off the roof. The main big mount I disassembled and took it down prior to the roof avalanche...I'll have to repair that in the spring.

 

For this winter, I bought a new tank heater for water in the pasture for the horses. After about a week and a half in the 3 week cold snap, when we had 20s for daytime highs, the damn thing quit working at full capacity. It kept a small but of water, but there was about 3" thick ice on top that the horses couldn't get through. Finally it warmed up enough that I could break that thing loose. My old tank heater had been played with last year, and Sol the gelding threw it so it landed outside the water with the cord touching the element, and melted through to bare copper on the hot and neutral. I taped the shit out of that with electrical tape, and put it in the tank.
No damage though from snow falling, so I guess it could be worse.

 

I dont know about up north but its definitely a good year for snow.
