Oregon and Washington BS thread

I want that Prinsu if you decide to part with it. The tent too if I can convince my wife

 

Hah. Still looking at all of my options.

 

After some analysis, I'm going to keep the Tacoma.

I already have the suspension setup to handle the extra payload, so I'm going to make the Tacoma more functional for the farm. I'll probably add a BedSlide and finally install the Prinsu. I'll add a Tekonsha controller as well.

As for the tractor, I'll borrow a larger truck when I need to haul it. It shouldn't be that often.

 

I have a tekonsha in my dodge and it works great. I think it was about $100-110 on Amazon. It came with a specific harness that was plugged in to the back of the controller, and the other end is open leads to splice. I mounted mine right next to the A pillar in my truck, and bought a harness specific to dodge to plug into the factory spot, and good thing too, because neither the dodge harness or tekonsha harness were long enough to reach, so I spliced them together.

Reminder! August meet is this Saturday!
((time has changed, please check the OP))

 

I'm in Vancouver BC.

No idea what I'm doing. Lol.

Anyone know someone nearby?

 

I know a guy in Vancouver area, but he isn't a Tacoma guy. He is a Toyota guy though

Need ideas for Septembers meet!

 

To far for me and my new taco is stock still

 

What's a 2008 Tacoma on new 33's with full icon stage 3, all pro bumper, welded rock sliders, 8k winch with synthetic line and DVD work these days? 94k. KBB says 16,900. This thing has a straight body no dents and really clean.

 

Could throw in a set of relentless skids, cb mount and RTT rack if it'll help.

 

yours or someone else's?

 

Likely 20k. At least I've seen lesser vehicles go for more. Cousin just bought an 08 with 80k on it for 21k... Has zero aftermarket except tires

 

Local area shop to work on King Shocks?

Does anyone know of a shop in the Seattle area (south preferred) that does quality and reliable service work on King (or similar) shocks? I purchased a suspension kit of King shocks with Dirt King UCA's in February through DownSouth Motorsports (DSMS). I'm not trying to form an opinion about DSMS for you so please don't think I'm trying to air dirty laundry. These are just the facts to get my issue stated correctly. The Dirt King UCA's rubbed the hoses bad enough that I won't take it off-road until I get the hoses replaced, meaning the shocks essentially need a rebuild already. DSMS admitted that it was a known problem. They said King changed their specs without telling anyone. DSMS found out prior to my problem but never informed me/the people who purchased them so we could mitigate the problem properly. After 3 days of conversing with them they have since offered to pay for all the repairs at their SD shop however I would have to have a torn down truck sitting in my garage for over a week and figure out transportation or rent a car. I asked if they could pay for the labor here so I wouldn't need to rent a car and they said no. So they're sending the parts and I'm stuck with having to pay for the labor here locally and chalk it up to being a part of the King/Dirt King/DSMS R&D team at my partial expense (after labor and possible re-alignment). Non of the WA sales shops on the King website service them. So far I have found Deval Engineering/Racing in Enumclaw. They are kind and willing to do the work but from what I've found their labor is a bit high for this job. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.

 

No, but post up the avatar photo of the shitty butt-Prius attempting suicide...

 

Nothing local or even PNW as far as I've been able to determine. There is a TW member in Denver named Tim @TMFF that can help you. He has done work for me.

 

Good luck with devol. They are mostly a small Motorsports shock shop, motocross etc, and they seem to only be able to set shocks up for racing; IE it doesn't matter what you request for shock setup, the end result always seems to be the same.

 

Closest I know for a fact is District Fabrication here in Hillsboro, but you might try talking to Mule Expedition Outfitters, many folks here like them, and if they can't do it then I bet they know who does.

 

Hey Oregon peeps! What's there to do in Portland without a vehicle?

I'm inbound on an Amtrak right now.

 

Tons of bars, places to eat, and a few concert theaters. The Roseland, and maybe the Crystal Ballroom I think they're called? Also they've got quite a few sports teams whether it's Basketball, hockey, or soccer. There's also the Portland zoo, and OMSI (a pretty cool science museum with an old ass Submarine in the river)
