NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Army aviation. currently afghanland

I have the Millermatic 141 and love it, super easy to use and does a great job.
I don't use the "matic" part really since it seems to be too high for amps. I keep it manual and just tried a bunch of thicknesses and made my own little table as for speed and amps.

 

I think his name is Sean. He's in the GX Facebook group.

 

Works great!
This is the way to do it right!

 

Yeah, nice guy. He said he was at the NWOL rally this year. He was pulling an overland trailer with a CVT on top too. I'm hoping he made it home ok, he was speculating whether it would hold together to get home to Tacoma. If he had been by himself it may have been worth a try but with the wife and kiddos we told him he should probably get to Roslyn and call AAA.

 

Anybody planning on doing anything this weekend? The girlfriend is out of town and it's probably one of the last weekends I will be able to get out wheeling and camping for a bit because of bachelor parties and getting ready to start tearing the truck down to replace springs, install bumpers and do some depot level maintenance.

 

Yep.....working!

 

^^^ Winning

 

Was it you that I ran into on bethel ridge Saturday? I was in the silver Tacoma along with a 4runner and Sequoia. We were running the wabdr section 1 and 2 over the weekend. Looks like you found some nice tight trails along the way.

 

Oh yeah you are running nittos right? How do you like them?

 

Yes man, good to meet you. Hope you guys enjoyed your trip.

 

yessir!

 

40s on the new rig?

 

Yup. Wasn't sure how long they'd take to get here so ordered them early.

 

Very much so.

I did hear they changed the formula in the tires now that make them not as long lasting (I have nearly 25K on mine and they are between 1/2 and 3/4 worn). Not too shabby for an MT! People I know that have bought them in the past year says they don't last quite as long as mine have, which backs up the story I heard they changed the formula. . . still LOVE them offroad. I'm pretty much Nitto for life haha

 

Hope you enjoyed yours as well. Our trucks were so dusty inside and out afterwards.

 

Yep! That was me. I still swear I saw a old green Chevy 1500 & a Bronco pass me going up the pass Saturday night. On Frorst Road 112.

 

If my truck can make it? Pst! Don't even need 4x4 to get up there, just a bit of ground clearance. 4x4 does help though. Had zero issues making it up & down on my 100% stock, 4 banger, 4x4 Manuel.

This pic was taken Sunday morning.

It was more difficult doing this route down, but nothing extreme.

I may tag alone. Where are you thinking of going? I have a 100% stock 4x4 truck.
