NW WA Meet / BS Thread

See pics above. Found a hole on both sides of the frame.

 

Makes me concerned for my frame even though it looks good. Where’d your truck come from?

 

I was just thinking about going out to take a peak. I have a bunch of cans of Fluid Film and Mav Coat.

 

Washington truck it's whole life. Sold originally in yakima and I bought it from a guy in Spokane. They use salt on that side of the state in the winter soooo that'd be my guess. I'm the 3rd owner.

 

I’m pretty sure mine was from Oregon and then moved up here to Morton. Perhaps the dry part of Oregon?

 

Does anyone have some OEM outer tie rod ends they don’t need?

 

That's a really expensive bucket

 

Smart business. You know the overlanding hipster can't be seen with a Lowes bucket so why not offer the same thing at high prices for the brand

 

I have a cooler bucket it says City Mill(our local hardware store). I use it more then I use my yeti coolers actually and it’s bright freaking yellow lol

 

Because it's embarrassing to be seen with run of the mill buckets that poor common folk use. Nothing says I'm better than you like a $40 yeti bucket.

 

It’s like using a pelican or Plano rifle case to store 50 bucks in tow straps

 

@NorthwestCruiser

 

I have seen his build page before he actually uses his truck lol

 

Shoot, I use them for luggage! lol

 

Now I'm starting to wonder if the Yeti bucket will work with a Luggable Loo toilet seat lid. Anyone know?

 

Didn't even think of that.

 

Ha! I just destroyed on for @bski22. They priced out at $67 each.

 

update on Lowes and Craftsman tool warranty. I mentioned earlier I called the Issaquah Lowes and they said no problem. I went there today and Craftsman is so new to them they seemed confused. After talking to a couple people they eventually said if they have the same tool in stock then take it to customer service and they swap em out for you. Problem is, at least in this location is they barely have any Craftsman tools yet. Lucky for me they had one 1/2" socket drive and it worked out. The replacement looks beefier than what I had before.

 

Oh I know, I was just poking at him because on his old truck he had roof boxes with recovery gear in them
