NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I love this! From post to sale.....9 minutes!

Ummmm....
Not sure what to do with that....

Also, advice from Uncle Tom, do both! You'll get paid again next week!
Everyone wins!

 

Pick the new mattress up with the trailer!

 

Better to ask for forgiveness than permission

 

A new mattress for the new overland trailer?

 

is it 6x5.5 already?

 

sounds good! I do have one slight request. . . . @Kappes03 and I live by eachother and we plan on convoyin up together. Is there a way we can get him in group 1?

He's also comin over to the house saturday to hopefully get a rack mounted on the truck, should be a good time

 

Done!

@TRD 4x4 you are now in the second group.

 

we appreciate it, thanks!

 

I don't wanna jinx it, but it's still looking like I'll have Sunday off! Look forward to some Tahuya fun with you guys. I'll be the designated "look for signs that say no driving on the meadow" guy if somebody wants to keep an eye out for overly-flustered Rover drivers.

Any plan to bring the two groups together for lunch or something?

 

That's not a bad idea

 

Ha there are no meadows to worry about.

And maybe... There isn't really a good way of running opposite directions and meeting up halfway, we can eat lunch and hangout watching people swamp their trucks at the lake and im sure the other group will catch up at that point. We can always make it a half hour difference

 

Haha, I know. Thank God. Given the atrocities we committed on the Gallgher Head Lake run this past summer, I just want to be cautious...

Would be fun to see the whole crew at some point, though not sure how crowded/complex that would get.

 

Rover drivers are busy with winter repairs...

The flat rock garden or the puddles.

 

I don't have any pictures of my trailer, and I'm not ready to buy a bigger one yet, but perhaps in spring pending sale of current one. What I have is very comparable to the Bigtex 30SV, except only 48" wide, top rail is 1x2 rectangular tube, and it is light grey for color. I'd love to get $2000 for it, but I don't think it is worth that much.

I've hauled quite a bit with it, and it's done great for me. I put 2 yards of soil in at one point and it fit by volume, but just barely. I also had another yard in the back of my truck and when leaving the place, there was a steep hill climb. With all 4 cylinders, I got going in first, shifted to second, then shifted back to first. It's also carried gravel, lumber, firewood, horse and goat manure, hay, concrete (in bags), camping gear, and probably a whole lot more. It is really nice having the taller and solid sidewalls so I don't have to necessarily tie things down.

 

@northwesttaco , I'll trade you 1 @Kappes03 for either an @busmup808 or a @TRD 4x4 ?

My intent and I'm sure @JDAM is to do the loop and hit a couple of the mid trails with some harder stuff but with the bypasses for stockers.
Also, part of 84S on the way back northeast is supposed to be closed for logging, so have to take the southeast loop portion instead of cutting thru. There are supposedly signs directing but.....

Edit
Sorry Guys, but you guys are fun on a run, and we want the funniest group! Plus we will still get challenging terrain if you want .

 

Rovers don't do Tahuya because
Scratches
Terrain. (Rovers do not flex)
Fun (rovers do not do fun. they do serious off-roading only)

@northwesttaco , we should meet at the pond for late lunch or just quick lie swap.

 

Then It will turn into a 2hr lunch and a 20 truck run in the second half
