NW WA Meet / BS Thread

For me personally it wasn't worth the extra $400 and on a road at night if I have my roof light bar on and see a car coming, its much quicker to hit a switch than balance my hand on a touch screen. But to each their own.

Yes that too, i liked the bigger rocker switch.

 

You turn your light bar off for oncoming traffic? You're so nice.

 

Typically.

By the way got the truck back today and holy shit, it drives like a brand new taco now. Well the steering at least. So much better. Probably will be going through steering racks every 40-50k miles now

 

I try to get a more accurate measurement for you, but a rough measurement with them installed on my truck gave me 32.5". Just this pic for now.

 

I cant remember who it was that got the tube bender recently...but this is what im going for upon my return. Think we can fab something similar to this up? I can bring the welder and metal if you can bring the experience with a tube bender haha



(not lookin for the toyota cut out on the skid though. . . .)

 

That color combo is money.. Def my next wheels

 

BFG's and Coopers have been known to run quite small

So LT it is huh?

 

Have to order the harness Monday. Will I need a fuse jumper as well if I run the bar off a switch?

 

I think you're referring to @Usethe2nd ? He's been getting shipments of shop tools this week but still waiting for his bender. Sitting there imagining the pipe bending on the die he has no use for yet.

 

Nope. What the wiring harness comes with is all you need. How ever most of us run a different switch than what comes with the harness, like one that fits into one of the oem locations.

 

Yeah I ordered a different OEM switch. Awesome thanks.

 

I hate those damn tear dropped switches. I'd have 2 of those sticky taped to the dash now if it weren't for factory fit switches.

 

ehhhhh not yet. BUT im thinkin this style bumper and beadlocks immediately upon the return

 

Also, I think @Kappes03 and I are gonna make a Elbe run tomorrow sometime. were mounting my rear camera relocation bracket from BruteForce Fab and possibly making one for him from alum.

anyone down for an afternoon run???

@busmup808

 

Oh shit ohhhh shit.. it's a trek and I don't have a working winch, but I'm 45% interested.

 

I'

I'll go if you will.

 

OK 65% interested. And I'm pretty sure we can pewpew out there.

 

Let's do it!

 

I just bought a brick of subs for the one that goes tick tick.

 

well we need someone with a working winch haha. after lookin at pics im not sure if we get into a jam, how much room we'll have to use snatch straps, etc. There is also the use of a Hilift to "winch" out with....but thats gonna be a LONG adventure.

I say def come on. We can always meet at my house and leave as a group.

@Kappes03 @JimSnell @bobsuruncle

and anyone else!
