NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Wow! I started with 7" of lift, now settled to about 6.5" after what, about 9 months?

 

Im not sure. But I abuse mine quite a bit so I guess im not a good example to go off of

 

It was not the Mariners, that's for sure.

 

Maybe this is how i can convince the wife that i need front and rear bumpers... now to just find someone on their phone and brake check them...

 

My Atlas should be coming sometime soon then I'll have mine laying around.

 

It's taking

If you commute, it will happen.

I may or may not be waiting for the same thing, lol..

Here's my kill. It was a VERY clean truck before the kid hit me. That's a bad angle, that front end was destroyed.

Yeah, with the new bumpers coming in shortly... I hope , I'm going to need to replace the springs all around and I can get Eibach 700# coils, Dakars with the extra leaf, Wheeler's bushing kit and a Timbren u-bolt flip kit with bump stops from Wheeler's Offroad for a little under $900 before shipping.

The way I see it the leafs on these trucks are basically a wear item anyway and will eventually need to be replaced no matter how much I spend on them.

 

ok. let me know when they are off

 

So your Dakars have only lasted 3 years and have lost their spring? I would've thought more life in them than that.....not under ARB warranty anymore?

 

Not sure if/what the warranty was. But yeah I have every leaf in them and they'll be flat soon.

 

Anyone by chance have this auxiliary bracket for a stock 2nd gen tow hitch laying around?

 

I might be in for that if the price is right. My OEM leafs with AAL are finally starting to sag.

 

Anyone know where the snow level is around Greenwater/Stampede Pass? Considering a run in a week or so.

 

Anyone need some wheels/tires?

*copied from my classified thread*
A friend of mine is selling his C rated 265/75R16 Duratracs and Bronze SCS SR8s with center caps for $1,300.

He's willing to ship at buyer's expense.

The wheels are in very good condition, and the tires have 14/32 tread and even wear. I'll post some detailed photos later today, but for now, here are these.

 

From the Snoqualmie side Stampede was still closed last weekend. I imagine any section of road with tree cover will still be completely snowed in

 

Tree cover and northern facing slopes. Will probably be another month or so before it is completely passable. Nothing like coming around a corner and finding a 2-3ft wall of snow.

 

Good info, thanks. Wasn't sure how they manage these routes with closures and whatnot.

 

Forgot to mention, about 2 weeks ago my mom got Washington's first 2017 Grey TRD off road (not trail edition) 4runner, or at least we were told.. Had .2 miles on it when we got it and had to order it and be built in Japan. I told her not to get KDSS so that I could through so Kings on it, then she tells me she bought the 9 year extended warranty

 

The "Trail Edition" is now referred to as the "TRD Off Road" for 2017, otherwise there is no changes over the previous model year. Nice rig, and the best color. I don't understand how these vehicles have less than 5 miles at delivery, they are supposed to drive them a few miles as part of the pre-delivery inspection. I see it a lot though, technicians not doing that.
