NW WA Meet / BS Thread

HOAs seem to do a great job of combining the worst parts of renting and buying.

Too many rules and regulations like renting...but you gotta pay to fix your shit when it breaks still.

 

If they gate the streets, the HOA will be responsible for street maintenance, street lights, and electricity costs, so the dues will skyrocket. A big price for very little security gain. ( I am on our HOA board and we looked into gates for our community or 57 homes. Dues would go up by about $70/ mo.)

 

Do you guys have any plans to reinforce the wing tip at the fender well. Or .25 thick and press brake bends?

 

Cardboard and tinfoil?? You will never notice on the Lexus. Great pics and adventures by the way, you make it to Seattle area again?

 

Check out the notches at the brake line. Its flat plate cut on a cnc laser table then slapped in a press brake. The notches in the corners are for when it's in the brake it won't distort the shape. It has a rolled heel vs a sharp 90* like angle . 3"×2.5 Is not as common angle iron size so it would be more $

I would grab some flat plate rough cut to size, scribe a center line, notch it on the ends with a grinding wheel. Then thin wheel/cutting wheel the back side line .75 of the way through. Beat over bench past 90* and weld back up.

 

Boo HOA. If you get that I'm parking the hoopty in front of your house so they send you angry letters.

 

Which rear are you referring to? We don't have any plans to change designs on rears currently. Have you seen an issue?

 

You should see the neighborhood man...seems like no one GAF about the HOA lol. Or at least how the yards look.

 

How was MULE?

 

Packed.

 

I thought about going but had a feeling it would be packed inside since it was forecasted to downpour

 

this guy must be a real bad ass

 

There were way too many people for me. Don't like large groups too much, and it was damn near elbow to elbow at 10:30

 

Yup. Exactly why I didn’t go lol

 

15% off OME had me intrigued enough to head over, but that deal wasn't enough to deal with all the people. I'll go back after it calms down a bit and can actually talk to someone about what I want

 

Maiden voyage was right into a storm. Nothing like camping in a torrential downpour to iron out the kinks and find a few leaks. Oh, and with two kids in tow I will be finding sand in the truck and trailer forever now.

 

+1

I like the new space but will have to go back when I can park and enjoy it

 

Nice set up. What trailer is that?

 

Home built. He has a thread on it somewhere there.

 

That's an old coors light can...
