NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Yep, there are also watershed "cops" inspectors that most which are retired law enforcement and aloud to carry firearms and make arrests.

 

@bobsuruncle headed up tnkham.

 

Bulliet turned 1 year yesterday!! From Texas to the PNW, can't wait to do more adventuring with this beast.

 

Time to trade in, eh?

 

nah, i plan on holding on to the truck for a long time .... i do need a miata in my life again though.

 

With a real transmission?

 

Congrats. Mine turned 1 last month. Have you gone legit and changed out those Texas plates yet??

 

I just noticed my rear Icon shots are leaking and the hose is loose. Is that something I should be concerned about?

 

I think the shock tower is supposed to be notched at the fitting.

yes.

awe! happy birthday to yours! lol
hell nah. i'm holding on to those texas plates as long as i can lol

 

Ahhh shit that was you on TTE. That's a bad deal.

 

Yeah. I ended up deleting the post so I didn’t have to view everyone repeating themselves.

I’m down in CA right now so will drive back and then send them an email.

 

Check if the fitting is loose at all and can be snugged up. If its leaking thats not normal

 

Is it leaking out of the hose or the fitting?

 

Anyone have some taco wheel spacers laying around?

 

Looks like the fitting

 

it looks like a its a -6 JIC Fitting, but its hard to tell without seeing the seal ( inside of the fitting )
Try tightening it 1/4 turn more if that doesn't snug it up then you might need a new fitting pressed on.
I work at a Hydraulic hose shop in Everett if you want me to take a look at it, i'd be more than happy to.

 

I had the same issue with my Icons and ended up just tightening the fitting and haven't had an issue since. 6+ months so far.

 

Yeah like I said, went up before I knew how strict they were. On a weekday with the fam. We wanted to fish black lake and go to cascade fire watch tower. Then out highway 2.

When I got close to the fire watch it was active logging so we left, Been around it all my life and know the boundry. Plus no C.B and loaded trucks bomb dowm hills. The road to highway 2 got to close to the water shed for my comfort so we left the way we came in. I do remember the Culvert yard and did pass it. I didnt want to cause a issue or ruin it for others.

I 90 venturing people Tinkham is closed on both ends as of today.

So we went up to my mine claim shooting, on the way down at a steep downhill grade, halfway between the red bridge and 3rd bridge. We came across a sherriff trying to get up through the nasty snow. Bald street tires and him being close to a ditch, i asked what was up. He said someone reported a giant wash out, and was headed down.
He got turned around but didnt show at the bottom.. Possible he was looking for something else, feeding me bull shit. FYI.


My Cooper mud tires once again did awesome in the snow @JimSnell
