NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I mean our housing market now isn't fueled by sub prime lending like it was before the recession. Also, that's why I mentioned as long as unemployment stays above a certain percentage threshold, we'll be fine. I forgot the exact number though.

 

Psssssh, no fucking way. S4 Avant, yes please.

 

I saw a studio apt in Tukwilla for $2100!!

 

I dont seem to see any PMs about it. But theres an easy way to tell if the bars will interchange between the 2nd and 3rd gen.... Initially we had 2 different mounting plates for the 2 different gens, we've since changed to a single mount plate that works on all our cargo bars, 2nd/3rd gen Tacoma, as well as fits the tundra as well(even though the bars are obviously longer, the mount plate is the same). So if the bars in question have 4 slotted holes they'll jump to any 05+ Tacoma year. If they're in fact 2016+ bars that had only the pair of holes for mounting they could be made to fit the 05-15, you'd need to drill holes higher up. The other way does not work as mentioned though, the old 05-15 mount plate is too short inside the bed to drill lower holes to hit the 2016+ tie down rail.

 

Sounds like they changed the mounts at one point(like CBI’s) so they would work on both 2nd/3rd Gens. So it depends on when you bought them I guess @velillen. Send a pic of the mounts and that will tell the tale.

 

Thanks! I messaged you off your website.

The only wagons they make arent that fast. We would kill for a 2.5 turbo Crosstrek or Legacy wagon

 

Better make sure you can get ahold of AP before ordering anything from them.

As for differences- we use 3/16" plate throughout, AP uses 1/8" for a large part of the bumper. Our bumpers use a 3/4" thick D ring tab welded in, theirs is 3/8" I believe, then sleeved wider on the outside. We allow the factory license lights to be retained, AP uses different aftermarket lights.

 

E63s AMG for me please. No faster wagon for sale right now.

 

Yup, I think I had their original bed bars and it was too short without having to cut and weld.

 

FTFY in Sepang Blue....

 

Yeah but if I could get rid of the truck, its worth a decent down payment. Then drive a shit beater for two years without the want to mod, so I can try and buy a house. I don't see myself being able to do it any other way. If I keep the truck I spend money because I'm dumb. I wont deny it. I don't save near as much as I should be a month because group buys happen.

 

well crap. 99% sure they were pre third gens so no go

 

Did those ever make it to the states?

 

Also a yes please.

 

Same :/

 

No but AoA has 3 or so in the states for execs and "promotional".
There are some in MX but then getting them across the border is a challenge...

Waiting 25yr for the EPA/NHTSA to allow it, they will come in. The other challenge is getting service as there aren't any techs certified to work on V10 TT and an RS.

 

@Juforrest something you could alter to work perhaps?

 

For sure.

 

Cool. I'm thinking we could still make those work @velillen
