NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Yup.

 

binary triggers. think they'll get banned? If they do what do you think a pre-ban trigger will be worth? I have a Franklin Armory BFSIII in Idaho and staying there because not legal here.

 

They might get banned as in made illegal. Has that ever happened? I know my old man had a few pre-ban assault weapons but they didnt become illegal, they just didnt allow imports or manufacture.

 

They’re not legal here? Dang I was considering ordering one

 

$500!!! I'd just buy another gun and dual wield

 

Double the PEW

The October monthly meet is tonight!!!

 

I am getting some maxxis bighorn tires... Just deciding on where. I can order online, get the discount tire lifetime balancing, all for 204 a tire. Les schwab can do 234 per tire (lifetime balancing and hazard protection). I have never purchased from les schwab before, is the 30 more per tire worth it for the hazard protection? Do they even do a reasonable job honoring it?

 

Doing a give away on my Instagram page if anyone wants to enter

 

Why those tires specifically? For the money, there are better tires out there. How do you intend to use these tires, mall crawling, mudding, forest service roads, snow runs?

 

255 85 r16 is the main factor, I currently have km2s which have been good, but I want to try something else. Other options are cooper st maxx, which are very tempting, but I worry about them in deep snow. Mastercraft cxts are also an option but super hard to find. I dont like the toyo Mt's, and they are pretty heavy.

So that leaves the bighorns, grippy rubber, load range D (since E's ride a little rough and are a little overkill for our trucks). So it came down to the maxxis, because they are D, 255 85s, and cheaper than other pizza cutters.

I mall crawl with the best , drive on forrest roads, "most difficult" rated jeep trails, as deep of trail snow as I can get myself into, etc.

I would go with Discount tire and just buy the certificates, I've had nothing but good experiences with them. I've heard of too many people that had bad experiences at Les Schwab with them trying to bait and switch or claim they couldn't let them drive away without more work done once the vehicle was in their bay. Since they are independently owned there may be some that are better but I haven't heard enough benefits from them to justify the higher prices they have.

 

ya it would be banned for manufacture and sale but all current owners would have pre-ban trigger.

They won't ship or sell in WA. I believe our state outlawed them

So like I said I have one in Idaho which I'll either wait and sell for profit or have a new build to keep over there.

 

any personal experience with em?

 

I purchased my KM2s through them years ago, and so far I have been happy. I just wish they could order the maxxis, because if so this would be a done deal.

 

If you are running wheel spacers Les Schwab won't touch your truck. Just something to keep in mind

 

good to know, and no spacers on my truck, despite much peer pressure heh

 

Yeah, I run em in 235/85 r16. Good street manners with a little bit of howl. Not overpowering. Real good in the snow. Real good on the slimy firm trails. I haven't used them in straight mud. Not a super long life tire though. I'm at about 70% after 22k, but you wouldn't want to run them less than about 30% I think.

 

What is the deepest snow you have been able to tackle with them?
