NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Welcome to the F5 club. Easy to clean, light weight and look great!

 

Fuck!
Ummmm, 1 run hike up? Jus trying to be optimistic.

 

Uphill traffic and travel in Teton village is closed so crews can fix the power lines, and the avy danger is extreme basically everywhere lol

 

Speaking of which... I'm thinking demo that little room in the corner for 20 minutes to make room for the build day. Because, who doesn't invite people over to knock out random walls?

 

My name's Alex.

He built the rack for my 4Runner last year and I've sent quite a few folks his way since. I'll text him in the morning and let him know someone may be reaching out to him.

 

When I was in a couple weeks back they had a few sets on display.

Michael's Toyota of Bellevue also stocks a few sets but they're spendy... They add roughly cost of shipping to the price, and tack tax on top.

 

I can do them too. Just have to come to me and provide your own cover plate.

Though I'm just as out of the way as you

 

I'm _this_ close to ordering a set of F5s, but I'm waiting to find out how much the new Fifteen52 Turbomac HDs weigh.

 

Those look $800 per wheel fantastic!

 

So, for anyone who likes to do back country stuff, and anyone who likes to solo when wheeling, this is a great thread to read up on.

I know for one, we as a group have done this exact thing for people here without much fanfare as the SoCal guys get. I enjoy reading about it, and the updates we get on the adventures to go save people.

 

Ha! That's why I'm waiting for the cast version to come out. No way I'm spending the money for forged wheels on something I'm going to go beat on in the woods.

 

Waiting for parts is agonizing!

 

Jealous of the BP-51s :/ And yeah, I've been waiting on my Prinsu for well over a month now...

 

Keep waiting... he's quick to sell it to you and dirt slow to mail it out...

 

I can't wait that long for stuff. Love those prinsu racks. There is a badass Taco that parks at the Safeway on Roosevelt and 75th with both racks. Looks sweet.

 

I'll give him that the racks look good. Probably the worst vendor customer service I've had.

 

That's partly why I built my own canopy rack. I saw what he was using for the cross bars and bought some. Still waiting on canopy tracks to show up.

 

I've heard that lots of times.

 

That's awesome! After getting fed up I built my own as well. Looks good. You going to coat it or leave it raw?

 

Think about powder coat but I'm cheap, so probably Krylon industrial black.
