NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Thats a synonym, yes.

 

why do you gotta go spoiling my fun with big words?

 

That dana 60 center section would allow the inner cvs to get narrower... Guessing 2 inches per side. the long travel +2 would give 2" per side additional outboard. Yeah, I'm totally drunk, btw.

 

Reread this tomorrow when you're sober and see if you still are thinking the same way

 

Trying to figure out if this is looking like the start of a problem. The tie rod boot has always looked darker to me for as long as I can remember, but I have never really noticed the front LCA section "wet" from anything. is this something to be concerned about? Inner tie rod/ outer tie rod? and what things should I be thinking about?





Also saw this odd gem in Olympia area. Never seen one before: Subaru "BRAT" (4WD though haha)

 

Drop bracket drops your clearance so with 4" lift and 6" drop bracket you end up 2" lower? Then add tires. Body is way up but drivetrain is down? Or maybe I'm not getting it..

 

Normal darker on bottom. Welcome to Washington.

 

Thanks, was starting to wonder if my math degree was worth the hassle.

 

I'm thinking hemispherical gear sets in the hubs like an H1.

 

Portal gear set

 

Very important question:

What's the best LOOKING uniball UCA? I'm of the opinion that all the big name uniball options are negligibly different, so lets talk looks.

These are fucking beautiful.

Buy anyone you want, media blast it, paint however you'd like

 

What would you use to touch up powder coat? New bumper came with some scratches.

On another note if you buy premium Arco is the place to go right now as the octane is around 93.5 for about the next month.

 

For any of you campers/overlanders in the area, thought I would cross post this from Overland Bound....hope that's ok...delete if it's not...there were a couple of Tacomas there last time....

It's February 25th, Saturday @ 1000hrs with the details in the first post.....

Funny I was just going to do the same post.

 

I'll have to keep an eye out. Then again I'm only downtown going to and from work (take the foot ferry). I'm just on the other side of long lake from you then (off bielmeier)

I just used rustoluem hammered black spray paint. Looks just fine from three feet away. Blends in even better after a week or two of weathering

 

I was thinking about those myself when I get around to doing the suspension.

 

Highly recommend Central Welding in Redmond. I bought the new welder from them, Shawn hooked me up with a spool of wire and a free bottle of gas, not only a free bottle but a larger one than I had brought in.

 

Dude, that would be incredible. Let me know what I need to do to grab it from you.

 

I am searching for the saved link but there is a portal set that you bolt on to your IFS and rear that give an additional 3-4".
Guy is out of Netherlands.
