NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Ebay special (look at the "products discussed below") was installed and a US Off-Road was removed.

 

Sweet, yeah I was able to find that after. Those US Offroad bumpers intrigue me...

 

Thats about all I will be able to get. Wife does not care for the look of the full plate bumpers. And, happy wife happy life and all that crap.

I know @twalchlii1 will have his for sale soon. Just depending on what he wants for it..

 

Did you have to do much to the suspension to account for the weight? I guess I'd lose my hidden LED bar?

@twalchlii1 - keep me posted on your plans?

 

Oh trust me I love the snow


But only fresh snow. Right now it's shitty iced over snow that you can't get traction in. And MTR's > duratracs... just sayin

 

I'm looking to buy a HI lift jack (NOT HF) and the larger base. I am trying to find the adapter for the jack that fits on the rock sliders. Does anyone know where to find it?

Never mind, I found it

 

Das Mule called Jack Jaw

 

KO Off-road bumper.
Took off the US Off-road and once I clean and repaint it, it will be for sale.

 

Didn't do anything to the suspension, as it's pre set for an ARB bumper and winch. ( I have bp51 front and rear) forgot to pre measure, but I was right at 3" so we'll see how it settles.
You could mount you led bar on the tabs on the hoop.

I'll try to get the US re painted, but am either working or traveling thru mid May, with only 1 day off, so it may be about a month. I'll let you know.

 

Yeah it would be a winch fest. Went in snow down by mt hood 2 weeks ago, stopped when it was about 6" deep. Like driving on 6" of ball bearings. Flat road, buddy's jeep slid off the side. No joy.

 

Upgrading my Springs after the US bumper install--Eibach or OME for a prerunner?

 

OME

 

Is the stock aluminum bumper (not the facia) worth anything? Do people buy those?

 

The crash bar? Not really worth much of anything. Ive seen them (attempted) sold for around $50 bucks. Usually if someone needs that part theres a lot more going on though (ie accident)


Don't suppose any of you guys are around the Kenmore area? Might be picking up some wheels but be nice to not have to go after work if someone wouldn't mind holding on to them for me

 

Theres a softtopper for sale in Oly I would be down to pick up in a heartbeat.... if it wasn't tan.

Metal recycler. Might be worth $5 bucks or something

 

Every now and then you see some return to stock for trade-in or sale. Other than that, accident repairs.

 

Getting the post-UCA alignment today! Get that camber dialed back in.
There's a coupon for 50% off alignment at Toyota right now!

Trying to figure out a new way to mount my Switch Pro and integrate a negative bus, relay mounts and wire organization.
I have no access to metal fab equipment at this time.
Any ideas?

 

Can't decide if I should try saving them for resale---that means storing them for years..seems stupid, but it's harder to sell with aftermarket crap.
There's zero return in truck mods haha. Blows

 

In this area incomes are high, the mountains are near, and the outdoor lifestyle is trendy. People will buy well modified vehicles for a premium. Sure you won't get a huge ROI, but a modified truck will sell quickly, at a price considerably higher than a stock truck.
