NW WA Meet / BS Thread

New pizza. Oh and new bike

 

Nice bike and yummie pizza!

 

Location?

 

ok so ventured out in the the great PNW this weekend:
Cle Elum to Sky Meadow Ranch to Pumphouse to the far south road to access the other side via hill climb to Taneum Rd
then up Quartz Mt road towards Manastash Trailhead to Lost Lake (yep, we found it!)
The trail down to Lost Lake was very slow, off camber, stumps, logs and decent sized rocks.
After crossing thru a stream twice, we encountered a dead end.
Turning around, we returned to the top of the Lost Lake trail head and found a great campsite next to Riders Camp.
Then night wheeling from 21:30 til 00:30 on NF3111: tight, lots of rocks and an insane three point cliff turn with a massive on camber turn with a steep drop. Not bad during the day, something else during the night.

Awesome, thanks!

 

Want to borrow... A big friggin cooler for the nwol rally. Because I've got to keep a couple briskets and some other assorted things cold before they go on the smoker.

 

Rtic is having a fathers day sale

 

I wanna retire my old school cooler, but hard to justify a 2-300 dollar cooler when the only time I use a cooler for more than 1 full day is once or twice a year.

 

I have a giant cooler you can borrow. 165qt.

Looks like

 

Can use my 96 or 102 qt. Can’t remember which.
Will
Keep a block of ice 3 days in 90 degrees

 

Anyone in here replaced the pads in their Dakars? I have some aal coming for mine and thought it would be a good time to do it?

 

Hey, wondering if anyone might have a window for a driver's side rear 4 door.
Hopefully the smoked OEM.

Someone smashed mine last night and made off with all my (and my coworkers...) tools.

 

Those sunuvabitches!

proof or it didn't happen....

I have 2 Yetis and we had cube ice good for 2 days and no more... in Death Valley and cooler mostly closed and not in the sun...

 

Day 3 ice block pretty small but still there. Let’s see how it does with Jim.
Never had it go 5 days like the claim but 3 days lots of times.

 

Block ice and cube ice are 2 completely different things too. I have had cubes only last a couple days in my RTIC when it was out in the heat but if I put a block in there it will take the better part of a week to melt down completely.

 

Although I agree, its a pain of the ass to swap in and out all of your gear for your rig every weekend lol. So I often have a set of basic tools in my truck so I can get right too it. Doing it for work I would imagine that problem only gets more prevalent.

Anyone doing any runs soon, getting close to the time we did Fortune Creek last year?

Been diagnosing some odd noises/wobbling for a bit now, but done holding off on wheeling after rechecking all the torque specs, doing the carrier bearing, wheel hub assemblies and getting new tires. Guessing it may be warped rotors at this point, have all the parts to replace but I had OEM pads put on last year and I don't drive that much so they only have about 10k~ miles on them and 8~9 MM left of pad so I will probably hold off on the replacements. Picked up some PowerStop calipers, since my current ones may be sticking a bit a getting near EOL with 116k~ on the rig.

 

Best purchase I've made in years.
