NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Mandatory OT can suck a big fat one. I've been off work for 5 weeks and I'm just now starting to feel caught up on sleep.

 

Also more keys to random gates in the middle of nowhere. @northwesttaco and I already found a gate or two at Cherry valley wheeling spot I have a key to in shtf situations. Gotta love BPA. They use the same lock for the WA, ID, OR, MT region.

 

Well why the fuck didn't we use that last time???!!!! My butthole was puckered coming through that last time, I saw punctured tires and bent rims

 

The Bonneville gate leads to someone's back yard. I should end up with another god key for Weyerhauser/Hancock.

 

I know there is another way in...

 

For all you Icon guys out there...

Mine have held up to a ditch at 25-30mph, I'm honestly surprised I didn't bend a shaft. That looks like abuse to me. Don't get me wrong, I don't baby my truck, everything I've broken I've earned, but that's a new one to me.

 

Also I'd say he jumped it for sure or had some air time and it's probably been broken longer than he thinks. With the amount of preload he has, he was using the shock as a bumpstop. I have almost 2xthat preload with mine and 700# coils.

I did notice last week comparing jdams kings to my icons, kings tophat seems beefier.

 

FYI the rear shocks have a relocation bracket so the shaft guard can fit. It's simple, but just a heads up.

 

Evans creek. If you can fit thru the gate keepers u can make the trails. Maybe.

 

Kick outs.
Take it from me
You've seen it in action

 

Come get mine
I'll leave them on the porch

 

im likin where this is going. . .

 

Is $300-350 fair for a cab mount chop?

 

im down to hit this place up again soon. Didnt get a change to go through some of the "easy" trails due to conditions, lack of familiarization (ive heard trails go from great to pure shit around turns...didnt kno what to expect in diminishing daylight on a sunday), and no winch with us. Def a fun place, for sure!

I hate we didnt get to link up with ya!

 

In this thread: Nerd waits a week before picking up the phone to tell Icon that a part on his nearly 4 year old coilovers broke when his coil bucket buckled from "spirited" off road driving.

Once nerd picks up phone Icon warranties a part on his nearly 4 year old coilover that's nearly 3 years outside of it's warranty.

Fucking Icon.


Also in this thread: Nerd is running Icon coilovers with King shocks in the rear.

I bet that thing handled GREAT will digressive up front and progressive out back.

 

I would say NOT A CHANCE!

i did mine for free...as im sure most everyone here did. Theres got to be someone close by that can lend a hand. I can, just not this weekend since I have family flyin in from NC

 

Is that what Nate quoted you?

 

Yeah roughly off his shop rates and another guy that I think just didn't want the work. They both seemed pretty busy.

I don't mind driving and it's not any sort of urgency to get it done. May take you up on that offer if we can work a day out in the future. I just have a weird schedule off days during the week.

 

Is his shop rate no longer $65/hr?
