NW WA Meet / BS Thread

sounds like a plan. It's pretty cool we have blacktail. Most of the country is whitetail and mule. As usual I'm saving most of my vacation days for Idaho. Not sure exactly what I want to do here yet. Way too many people are out during general season. The San Juan island property me and Cam were hunting on was sold to Chris Pratt. Which is fine. The island was good for my first deer.

 

Thinking it needs rear tube doors to match

 

So this happened.

Yep, I saw one in that area a month ago. Stay strapped!

Fuuuuuck

 

My roommates friend got stuck with her Rubicon out there in North Bend, we just got back from heading out there, turned around in Issaquah and headed back. Some dude lookin for that cougar found her and got her out of the ditch. How a Rubicon got stuck in a ditch is beyond me, must be a jeep thing?

 

Speedy bike meets predator instinct. Make sure your buddy has a gun too (and can shoot well). It would be lucky if either would have been able to deploy and use a firearm in time.

 

Drove to gig harbor and bought a transmission from some tweekers for $200.

 

Hey guys and gals, I was wondering if anyone could please help me out with this. I have this really loud crackling sound in my truck when I get up to highway speed and it's driving me crazy! Sorry if this is the wrong place but I created a thread for this issue and I didn't get any replies so I'm hoping someone here may know what it is so I can avoid taking it into the dealership. Thanks!

Sounds like something on your roof?

 

Check the rubber things where the roof rack goes... they're glued in. also, apparently the roof itself is glued in.

Any aftermarket shit up top?

 

Digging into this transmission I bought, must have been from a trail edition t4r since the tcase is setup for a manual shift lever already. No shift actuator on the back. If the transmission doesn't work for me at least I scored a manual shift tcase for $200.

 

Nothing aftermarket up top. When I checked up there everything seemed good but I'll look again..

 

If the rubber strips on the roof are loose, it is more of a thunking sound. I had this happen and had to glue them back. Oddly, go to the front of the truck and check if the grill surround is attached properly. Not the grey part that screws to the truck but the painted part. Mine broke 2 of plasti- welds. Started to chatter at 30mph getting worse as speed increased.

 

Anyone interested in my Bestop? Long bed. Used 1 summer in perfect shape. $425?or.
Figured I’d put it here before listing.

 

Wrong Gen....unless it squeezes tighter in the middle...

 

Just read the new article. Gun would have worked!

 

If you can get it out in time. No easy feat when a 200lbs cat tackles you off your bike

 

Reading the article they had already gotten off their bikes after they noticed it following them. They then attempted to scare it away by yelling at and did basically what they should have done. It's very unfortunate. I've gotten to the point where I carry when I'm in the mountains. And I'm always look for cats when I'm snowshoeing. I hear a little noise and my hackles stand up

 

Yeah then I guess a gun could have saved this guys life.

I was actually hiking in that area yesterday (before reading that article) but I always carry when I'm out in the woods
