NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Yup

 

Mr. Snell is hooking me up but thanks.

 

Guys guys guys guys

 

Good choice

 

It stings! I'm not sure how to cope...

 

Who all here runs the Relentless front bumper braces? Anything good to say about them?
I may as well get them unknowing if they do a damn thing or not..$40 at this point is just like what the heck.

 

I can vouch. If your bumper is secured by all four bolts... Three forward facing and the big one underneath, per side. You're good for a 12k winch.

The relentless mounts only improve it if your current bumper doesn't use all 4 per side.

 

Noted, but just to verify, are these the fasteners you're referring to? The studs facing forward that the OEM bumper tube utilizes, and the bolts for the subframe ends underneath?

My understanding is this Mount uses the mounting points you're referring to.

 

Yeah. With that same bumper and a bigger winch, I've pulled hard enough on those bolts that only 1 tire was touching the ground. The shit is crazy strong. It's that big bolt on the bottom that makes the difference. If the bumper didn't use the bottom bolt, would be different.

But then again, it's an easy bolt on piece of cheap insurance.

 

If your that concerned you could always stich weld it in a couple places. That way they could be easily cut if you needed to remove the bumper at some point.

 

Hes helping to build the wall!

 

Damn dude, good to hear. thanks for the heads up. What the hell were you winching?

 

This was the bumper by itself?

 

Anyone in the Issaquah area want to grab a beer or two Friday night? The 7-Eleven on E Lake Sammamish Pkwy has a new bar or restaurant next to it (just had its grand opening, think its called kim corners or something. Its not on google maps yet), and Big Block Brewing for sure, figured it could be a good excuse for a meet and greet type deal.

 

I'm down. What about @bobsuruncle and @Usethe2nd?

And what happened to @TacoSTIG? He built up his truck nice and haven't seen or heard from him.

 

Busy with life/work stuff last I talked to him way back in late Dec/Early Jan timeframe.

 

Totally down, but I'll be fishing lake Roosevelt and banks lake Friday morning - Sunday. Next time!

 

Let me see if I can make that happen, I'm supposed to be swapping out a motor Friday night/ Saturday. Beers sounds like more fun though.

 

I might. I'll be staying in Sammamish Friday and Saturday. Always up for meeting other TW members and having a beer .

 

Sounds great! I was thinking i would get there around 730 - 745 pm. If that works with you guys.
