NW WA Meet / BS Thread

If I was not all ready at the house, I would have had a beer after work with you.

 

I’m thinking of driving up to the city.... just not sure where to go... especially with my lifted Mega Cab. Was supposed to get a beer w/ @NorthwestCruiser tonight but someone is MIA!

 

@dakotasyota

Sams tavern has the best bloody mary in town. Dueling piano in renton, Videot bar has free classic arcade and 25c pinball, all video game bar, I think hooters on south lake union is gone. Ballard has its typical vegan hipster shit and lots of others.

 

Right on! Thanks

 

No prob if your in town tomorrow let me know in the am. I travel from Buckley to Seattle or work to home around 4pm

 

What's a good price to pay for an 05-09 GX470 nowadays? I see @AWilson013 driving around in Renton every once in a while and they look like something I'd like to move on to from my taco. I'd still be keeping the taco for truck duties.

 

15 to 20ish id say

 

There is a potential group buy for the Garmin inReach Explorer+ if anyone is in the market for a GPS/PLB/satellite messenger... These don't have discounts very often.

I got mine during this first GB. Really like the product paired with the Gaia app

 

How do you pair the thing to the GAIA App?

 

Via Bluetooth

 

Hey @dakotasyota , do you know 2 fellas named Gideon and Levi?

 

So I'd pair to my phone via bluetooth and the Gaia app pulls the GPS location from the inreach, even after my phone loses all signal?

 

Not exactly. I may have read that wrong but....

You open the GAIA App on your phone (I use my IPad) and connect the Garmin to the phone via BT. It will then xfer the location onto the app. I would suggest using something with a good deal of memory. I download the area I’m going to on WiFi before I leave the house, save it in the Gaia app, then open it when I get there. The garmin puts the location dot on the iPad then. My iPad isn’t on cellular or data so it’s a WiFi only thing (I choose not to pay for it, don’t use it now except for off-roading maps)

 

Hah yeah that's basically what I was asking but much clearer. I've been looking for something like this, definitely gonna jump in on the group buy. Still need 8 more people of anyone is interested.

 

You can get a very nice one for $15k or under. If you're not in a hurry and just wait for the right deal that number can get closer to $10k.

It's also highly dependent on mileage. Under 100k miles and you'll be close to $20k which is nearing early GX460 prices. Closer to 150k and you'll be seeing prices nearly half that.

 

Haven't seen his but I've seen @Nimitz rolling around a couple of times.

 

R.I.P.

 

Ouch. How's that commute? When I was in national guard after active duty I had to go to Buckley's armory from Renton and even that commute sucked.

 

1-19th?
