NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I actually just did one of those yesterday.

 

Helped me with mine. Even made the wiring purdy.

 

Pics or it didn't happen

 

You mean like every single on of the Hi-Lift auctions lol. You can get them on Amazon for the same price (or slightly less) with free shipping. Or you can buy them at auction for the same price!

Some of it is people not always understanding what the lots are. Just look at a picture and see 5 Hi-Lifts and think they are bidding for all five. Where if you actually read descriptions its for just one

 

Lol yeah, some bids are like over 90 bucks when they retail around 80 new. Or there's one for a replacement frame and people are bidding on it like it's the same thing. There's also a recovery line bag, literally just the bag that was going for like 30 bucks last I checked because people thought it was the line as well.

I was bidding on the high lifts until it was a little over 60% of retail and said screw it.

 

Thanks again Jim!

 

Anyone have an old s7 or s8 laying around they want to get rid of? I broke my s8+ recently and need a replacement phone until the s10 comes out.

 

Anyone looking for a bed box for cheap? I have one I'm not going to use.

Let's go!

 

I noticed there’s a few techno geek fellas on here. Does anyone have an old Casio watch like this they want to sell?



Let’s get the jokes out of the way, yes I know it’s older than me.

Edit: Woohoo 1,000 meaningful messages

 

Never assumed it was older than you but I appreciate you time stamping. Lol

Those did last along time, till you crushed the screen. Do you have a top secret project in mind.

 

What suspension setups are you guys running, and how do you like it? I have a set of fn fx pros in my garage, wildpeak at3 275/70/17’s are on the way, I need to lift my baby! I told Marie at headstrong I don’t do any crazy off roading, I just like to fly down trails riddled with pot holes on the way to camping spots and she recommended either ome’s Or 5100’s. I don’t want to spend a fortune on Kings etc. I need some reviews/recommendations ions from my PNW people pleaseeee!!!!

 

No secrecy. They make mordern variants but they began in the 80’s and are known for their durability. Ive broken every watch I’ve owned and thought I’d try something older.

 

I have 5100s and they do everything I need them to, and most importantly to me, retain a very civilized ride on the street. But if you’re into flying down forest roads, 5100s aren’t the way to go. You need something with quick dampening and rebound like extended travel Kings, Icons or something similar.

 

Spend all your $ on resi’s. Take out a personal loan. If you don’t, you are not truly living.

 

You can run 285s on no lift. And it's absolutely worth saving up for something with resi's if you're gonna run FS roads at 50+mph.

 

@GSPRunner @CBenfell @JimSnell, thanks guys. Sounds like resi’s are the golden ticket then.. shit what would be a good mid range resi setup? Id really prefer to be around 1500$, I can always persuade myself to go a little higher though. This is my daily, and I’m not going 50 down forest roads, probably 25-30 max. I ordered 6112’s just to break the ice but I got a call today saying they are still on backorder and there is no eta, so that’s getting cancelled, maybe that’s a good thing though. I want to get the right setup the first time.

 

I don’t even have resis, I was being sarcastic about blowing all of your money. Now that I read it, if you plan on off roading at speed, get some coil overs.

I think Fox is the most affordable.

 

I've found that where you see the difference is when you're 20-30 on washboard or pitrun for an hour or more, which usually happens when you're pushing to get camp set up before dark.

 

Soooo is anybody actually wanting to do this ECGS swap meet dealio?
