NW WA Meet / BS Thread

They give a shit if you don't have a sway bar or have wheel spacers, but a rounded off alignment cam tab, "uh wasn't me" is no big deal and everything is good to go when they hand you the keys. Then you find out they just did a toe and go.

Been there done that.

Discount tried to get me to buy all new tpms for my 06. Even though my truck was equiped from the factory, tpms regulations weren't in effect until 2007. I told them my truck is older than that federal law so fuck off. Then I heard the tire guy come in and mention my spacers to his manager and the manager said just mount them.

 

I hate going in and they act like I'm the asshole. And Lord forbid you know what you're talking about cause they go straight on the defensive haha

 

I saw this and thought I would share it for anyone trying to be a first time home buyer. BECU is offering small grants to first time buyers, if you live in the Seattle area you know prices are absurd and every little bit helps.

We are going to change Jim’s handle to
@jimmoyle

 

Shush!
Jim needs beer!

 

I’m off this weekend except for golf
When where u want to meet? Roaring for breakfast sun?

 

I'll actually be at the raging Sunday at 8am for fathers day breakfast with the in-laws. If you're free that's where I'll be or my house is not too far from there. Not too far as in 700ft from the raging.

 

Word on the street is that Mule does alignments now.

 

Wonder where they could fit an alignment machine

 

It was a long day yesterday, but I made it to OR and ended up coming home with a 2002 TRD. She needs a lot of love, but has some decent parts. Mostly just needs the attention any 250K mile rig would. I’m looking forward to it though. More mod days at my place in the future!

 

Their old retail space. They did my cam tabs on that lift and it had all the paddles or whatever. Firestone is dildos, but at least the alignments are free and theyll go outside factory spec.

 

I guess it’s time to start hanging out in here a little more often

 

Ohh didn’t know they converted that old space to another install shop

 

You move here yet??

 

I would think Stampede would be good by now

 

Hello all! Kinda new here and looking forward to finding a group to meet up with and wheel/hang out soon. I see a group of Toyota guys at Mule events all the time, I assume they are on here!

On a side note, I am moving this weekend and am desperate for someone to help lift a couple heavy items onto a trailer, then into a garage. I’m in North Bend and moving to Issaquah. Seems everyone I know is injured, lame or just too busy. Anyway, thought I would ask! Could be anytime from Thursday afternoon until Sunday morning. I would need to rent a small trailer first since I have a topper on my Tacoma. Thanks!

 

Might help to offer your volunteers beer and pizza. I fall into the lame/too busy category, but best of luck with the move

 

Lol, true that. There will be pizza and beer involved!

 

I was up by Thornton Lake last weekend. There's still some large patches of deep snow above 3500 ft, so guessing Stampede will still have a few challenging spots. I'm going to try it out Friday the 6th of July.

 

Mid August I’ll be driving out with the fam
