NW WA Meet / BS Thread

You really think im going with anything less? I thought you knew me better..

 

I have some extra Kings you can throw on each side

 

Welcome to adulting. TV and experience make it seem easier than reality.

 

I should have made them "dirt king" bump stop drops. They sent me at least a dozen stickers ranging from the size of a skateboard to like 1". Unfortunately my wife now refers to me as "The Great Dirt King" so I am trying to make her forget that... lol

 

Just trying to set the bar. I'll need someone that can still snow wheel with me when I finish the Taco.

 

Seriously though every lifted cruiser I see the tires just look small if they aren't 40's.

 

Go big or go home

 

If theres anything i've learned from building my taco is, just do it. I know ill end up there so might as well just do it from the start.

 

Make @JeepAndrew an offer he can't refuse on your '07.

 

@JeepAndrew PM me!

 

Yep buy once cry once, it does end up being cheaper in the long run.....

why I'm still on stock suspension until I can afford what I want rather than buying a stop gap suspension in the meantime

 

Yup, me too. It took me 2 years just to figure out exactly how and what I wanted to build the truck for.

 

PM'ed

 

A 4Runner dude tried to get to Gallagher today and made it surprisingly far before hitting what he described as an "avalanche" in the bottom of that creek area that I had to winch out of last year.

He also said there's a crazy lady up there prospecting off of the trail- camped right in the middle of it.

Looks like the same lady we passed up there a few weekends ago, @Nimitz

 

The road past the Gallagher turn off (that goes to Fish lake) is also washed out in a couple sections. One was "about to the door" and the other only about 8" deep.

 

Ok, was holding my US off-road bumper for Brady, but since he's going to the Med, it's up for sale again. Make me a serious offer.
Fit 05 to 11

Wonder what its like after that creek though. There were a few avalanches in the area this last winter so that could have been one. Be fun to try to make it past that point and see just how far you can make it. Hmmm maybe next weekend

 

He said it's about 10 feet deep and 30 feet wide. May be hard to get over/through.

Last year we got past that, up the hill, and then found a drift around the next corner on a bit of an off-camber section. Doable? Probably. Safely? Nah.

I'll wait another month or so 'til I give it a shot.

 

Last year I ran in to a couple of those going over stampede. Aired way down and didn't sink in at all. Probably 8 feet was the deepest I went over, but didn't sink in more than an inch, because it was super dense.I did have to winch across one because of the sidehill.
