NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I'm a fan of our shitposter-in-chief.

I think it is funny that the "Products discussed in this thread" is showing orange traction mats that look like Cheetos though....

 

I’ve always been genuinely curious who our tattle tale is. I like to think it’s just someone who sees our thread on the front page, pops in, and gets offended.


If not, it’s defintely Chickenmunga

 

Can’t make this shit up, was just eating Cheetos right before I read your post! Dying laughing.

 

Anyone wanna go camping this weekend? I need to get out and about soon so I don't lose my mind. Trying to think of somewhere I can make it and that is currently open. Any suggestions?

 

Southern California is pretty nice in the winter. Just finished up the Mojave Trail and in Vegas now for work at SHOT

 

from what I know, it's not something you are going to be able to really tell just looking at it. The difference is in the quality of the metal and the testing the factory does. You can either buy top dollar and get badass shackles, or get whatever. Beyond the top end manufacturers, I seriously don't know if a WARN shackle or Smittybuilt or HF shackle comes from anywhere different. The best a normal guy can do is make sure the WLL is stamped and it's the right size. I went with a guy on a snow run that was using ATV shackles

Oh, you know it!

 

S.W.L Safe working load =breaking strenght ducting 20%
Yes you are spot on, if it the s.w.l is not stamped or cast the equipment has never been tested or certified.

 

Thanks.

Yes. The load limit is stamped on it.

 

Looks like a winner.

 

*edit* Help found.

 

Can’t get out this weekend but if ur not looking at going too far u should check out middle fork road on the snoqualmie off exit 34 and see if it’s open. They started paving it last year so that everyone could get up their in their 2wd’s and lower clearance cars so it might just be a shitshow but I’ve always liked it out their....Easy access , fun easy fishing. Not too much to do for off-roading except for a 10 foot section at the very end of the road. Good thing about that is their is always a camp spot beyond that section unless some dude in a jeep is out their

 

Thanks, might have to check this out!

 

My day off that week isn't until Friday, 2/2 but if that works I am in the Tacoma area and happy to help out.

 

I'll call the terminal to see how long they're willing to hold them for.

Shouldn't be an issue. Sending a PM your way now.

 

It's open.

 

I live in Tacoma, WA and I now have weekends off so add me to the list and hope to meet up with some of you folks. Kind regards, Joe.

 

Anyone want Mercedes turbo diesel for a motor swap? Runs you can have it for free. It's in south Seattle.
