NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Anyone know where to get the best deal on new rubber? Looking to bump up to a 34" tire. 285 75 17 Nitto Trail Grapplers to be exact

 

discount tire direct..... free shipping no tax

 

Awesome. Appreciate it

 

Michaels is the WORST. Treat u like u r a homeless shitbag.
I buy parts from Titus Will in Tacoma. They actually give me a discount because my truck is built. Parts guys are great. Service as always rips u off.

 

Buy my 300p! Used about 5x. Pm me an offer.
Still have the box and everything.

 

Love my ARB. Soon going to switch to the twin. Right about the time I get my rear locker. Maybe Aprilish.

 

Holy shit. Just read about 100 pages of charlie foxtrot. When GBs go bad. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/airflow-snorkel-group-buy-2-closed.444431/page-68

@JeffRoyJenkins have you got a snorkel yet? I think I saw your name on that list.

@Greddy @northwesttaco @twalchlii1 I guess we are lucky we didn't have to endure that.

 

If you can wait a couple weeks sometime around the beginning of next month they should be doing a deal where if you spend $400 you get $100 off on their Ebay store. They sell them in sets of 2 so you can do 2 individual transactions and get $100 off each pair.

 

Yeah, I finally got it a couple weeks ago, that whole thing was a complete shit show. TcBob still has a bunch of them he got stuck trying to offload.

 

Yeah I heard it was quite the shit show

 

If you're not gonna buy an arb or pick up that used one from @twalchlii1, then get the O'Reilly brand. Its the exact same compressor as either of those.

 

It wouldn't have been so bad if the guy hadn't disappeared, when it became obvious there were some issues there were a lot of people willing to help but as soon as he went radio silent all hell broke loose.

On a better note I got front and rear plate bumpers ordered today, now I wait 10-12 weeks to .

 

My Sawzall is always looking for another victim.

 

Yeah, but it took a while for ours. I think @mahaloTaco is a good guy, but shipping stuff from convict land is always iffy at best. They will get the snorkels, but they need to be patient.

 

They got them, as Jeffroy said above, but now tcbob is sitting on 30+ because mahalotaco went MIA and had to step into save the sinking shipment of snorkels.

And now GB #3 via tcbob and his surplus snorkels.

Was just going to ask if it was at a further reduced price haha.

 

Ok shitshow there. I feel lucky..

 

Yeah, the worst part is it was all a result of him being greedy and trying to double the significant profit he was making off the deal, hence the animosity that built up.

 

317 pages of "nope". Care to share the cliff notes?

 

About 300 pages of bs, 10pages of it going sideways, and 5 pages of threats against the GB host, and 2 pages of actual start to finish results.

Here's my take.
The 1st GB which included me, cam, Tom and Brian went as I expected. Max expressed that there really was no deliver date up front and that it hinged on how long to get interest to 50ppl. It went fairly quick, and then it was the overseas journey from Australia. I think I waited just under 3months from the time I gave max money and the time they arrived at the port in Cali. In approx a week from that time, I had it at my door.

He probably didn't anticipate the interest initially and based on the out come of the 1st GB, decided for round two. It seems somewhere along the way he thought he could cut a fat hog by upping the order from airflow to 100 units rather than the original 50.

Behind closed doors he essentially locked the initial 50 participants/presold snorkels of gb2 into a holding pattern while max rounded up another 50 buyers. The interest petered off after 60ish buyers and Max's worst case scenario date came and went. His attendance to the site was rather Shakey after that point which he excused with being busy working 70hrs at work. Somewhere in the cluster fuck, tcbob stepped in to resolve the situation. GB2 started early August 2016 with a cap at 50ppl, and then pushed to 100.. I'm not sure when @JeffRoyJenkins started participation, but it would seem people only received them a few weeks ago. 5 almost 6 months.

Fast forward to current times and tcbob is now the owner of said extra snorkels and is selling them in gb3 personally, and I would assume he has them on hand ready to ship. Once they are gone, the whole mess will be forgotten except by those who had to endure this. Looks like Bob has roughly 20 left.
