NW WA Meet / BS Thread

@PNW/TRD Steve

Remember all the fun we had welding your sliders on? Now I have a real wirefeed.

 

I used gator grip from mclendons. They've been on for a year and still holding. Just don't accidentally drag your leg on it when you've got shorts on and you'll be fine.

 

Scratched, wet sanded, buffed

 

Thanks fellas.

 

@JDAM are Tacoma's and 4runners the like must own vehicle here and on the big island? So many everywhere!

 

sure does seem to be a lot. there is a big island thread on here.

happy birthday @bobsuruncle !

 

Happy Bday @bobsuruncle !

 

Wow

 

I think Ram's were the #1 full size that I saw when I was there last month. But the sheer amount of Tacos was crazy. Tourists stuck out like like crazy though, we were all driving Jeeps!

 

Haven't seen to many full size trucks at all. Tacoma's are everywhere though....especially third gens. Them and third/fourth gen runners.

 

I imagine East Lake in Seattle. It's the little chunk east of Lake Union and west of I5. Not much to do there.

@mrfish1991 Train to downtown, get off at King Street Station, walk to Occidental Park (take pictures of the stadiums first if you care), drink your way up 1st ave through Pioneer Square, turn left on Marion Street and take the ferry walkway down to the waterfront (stopping at The Forge if you get thirsty), walk down the waterfront until Pike Street Station, climb the million stairs up into Pikes Place Market, poke around there, hydrate on the roof top of the Hard Rock, continue up Pike St. to 4th, hang a left into Westlake Park and explore wherever you want.

I'll be so pissed if you don't do this. That was a lot of effort.

You're welcome.

@JimSnell I forgot to quote your post. I'll look into bumpers when Pelfrey releases their plate aluminum bumper

 

Awesome! We will be definitely be doing this. Sounds like a great way to kill an afternoon. And yes you are correct on where I was talking about.

 

Depending on how often you stop to hydrate it could take a couple hours easily, or all day. There's a lot of touristy crap by the water that can kill time too.

Stay away from 3rd Ave South of Pine. Unless, of course, you're trying to buy some heroin or get stabbed by a broken bottle.

 

We will probably have 4 or 5 hours to kill before my friend gets off work. Thankfully neither my girlfriend or I are much into the touristy stuff. Thanks for the heads up on areas to avoid as well. Saw some pretty interesting stuff last time I made the trip out there.

 

Didn't look that deep...I think you could have used a cutting compound and yellow pad or MF pad to get rid of those.

 

New bumper?



Or 35s?



I'm currently running 285/70/17 nitto ridge graps and love them. Only have about 2k miles on them though and less than 10 months old. I could recoup a good amount by selling them when the 35s go on. I'm not regeared yet, but so far the 33s haven't bothered me at all.

Thoughts?

 

keep me in the loop on if/when you sell as timing might be right for me...

 

I'm deciding on one of these in the next few weeks. My tires are from Discount and have certs all around.

 

I had that same dilemma . I went with bumper first, because my tires were brand new and I wanted something I didn't already have. Need vs. Want.

 

True, but my bumper has zero blemishes and would feel just a tad guilty cutting it up whereas I can recoup some of the cost of the 35s by selling my 33s...hmmm.
