Oregon and Washington BS thread

Well that's no help haha.

I've done it before, but this time around things are being a real pain lol.

 

Just put grease on it, slide it and use a small screw driver to get the c-clip started then pop it in.

 

You guys and gals have alignment shop recommendations?

How about alignment numbers (I think there is a thread somewhere... but I'm looking for local experience)?

My go-to shop is a couple months out.

Thanks.

I made an appointment to straighten out my rear end and they had it done when they said they would. I did early morning drop off. When I went to pick it up, there were people in cars all over the place. They are seriously busy. I would not attempt randomly stopping by to see if they have an opening. I seem to remember the price being fair in my mind.

 

Thank you.

 

Hoseclamp. Smack. Remove hoseclamp. Beer.

 

Anyone in the PDX area have a King spanner wrench?

 

I'm in sun river bend area for couple days. Where's is some good places to wheel/shoot?

 

Haha genius idea sir. I managed to get it in with a prybar pushing the clip in, then one good whack.

I'll definitely not forget the hose clamp idea tho, makes it super simple haha.

 

Me and the wife are debating about moving our family to the pnw. Where is a good area to raise a family? I'm a DOD worker and my wife works for the usps. So preferably near a military base and somewhere that doesn't snow too much. Thanks in advance

 

I saw you @Benson X when you were going down I-5 south, just north of Ft Lewis. The one good thing about my job is, I see all kinds of modded Tacoma, 4Runners and FJs.

 

If you're looking near the military base, you're looking around the JBLM area, which is where I live. Lots of places close enough to commute, if necessary. We also don't typically get much snow, if any (this year has been a bit of a fluke....). Tacoma and Spanaway are obvious choices and both spots range from nice area to completely ghetto. Puyallup is also a slightly classier, very much suburban area. Graham is great, too, but a little more rural.

Let me know if you have any other specific questions! I'm more than happy to answer anything!

 

Thanks. Gonna look on USAjobs for something around there. Was eyeing puyallup, seems like a nice city with decent priced housing.

 

I only have the coil nut adjuster pin wrench


Also: Hey all, I was at a wedding 2 weekends ago in San Diego. Saw the USS Midway while I was down there (cousins wanted to see the whole thing, took 7 hours, I'm done with boats for the rest of the year), a really cool scale model/machinist museum, and a bunch of people panicking over 1.5 inches of rain (no joke, businesses were closing early). It's taken me a bit to get caught up here due to work.

 

There are Navy bases in Everett and Smokey Point, which is going to the north end compared to Puyallup area. That can open up Lake Stevens, Everett, Marysville, Arlington, Stanwood, Smokey Point.

 

Saw something interesting in Eugene. A Chevy driving around with a flesh colored dildo attached (I'm assuming glued) to the rear bumper. I knew folks in Eugene were special, but didnt expect to see a dildo flopping around while I was driving down the road.

 

Well...that's really not that unordinary. I mean...these have been around for many years - they just kinda go together.

 

Sounds like a Top Gear/Grand Tour modification...

 

Reminds me of something from Idiocracy...
