NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Love airing down.... the ride gets so plush. Thanks for the info!

Good to know! Pinstripes add character so no worries there.

 

Anyone order anything from BamaToy1997???

Perma

 

That whole situation sure was a shit show

 

He was always saying "Order this" or "Order that"

 

Ehh i was more referring to few months ago (or a year?) when he wasnt delivering and disappeared

 

How often are you going to be off road? I've read that the general consensus is that OMEs ride like ass on the street. If you're doing just mostly forest service roads, you don't really need an armor, winch or locker. I see stock subarus doing them. If you take some more difficult trails than at least sliders and maybe skids and locker. If you go alone, a winch definitely.

 

All Fall and Winter I am in Eastern WA every weekend chasing birds, I don't need much more than the shocks and tires for that. The Chelan trails you posted look sweet, also the stuff in Naches from Greenwater??? I had 5100s on my DCLB and it was perfect, I may just go that same route. I've ridden in two trucks with OME shocks and hated both of them.

 

wasn't there something else about... underage girls or something weird like that? or maybe that was another guy. I remember the TW detectives uncovering some info.

 

yeah the TDLR version

-Disappeared for a bit leaving people hanging
- TW people started digging
- Found some police reports for some sexual stuff with a minor
- Pretty sure he was in jail
- Got out and explained things about how it was an odd situation where he pleaded guilty for a sex crime to protect his kid

Thats the jist of it. Though i thought he was fulfilling orders again after that but i never followed much.

 

The washout on section 3 by Beehive is a bit sketchy, don't do it alone if you don't have confidence in your wheel placement. I did it a few weeks ago and was unhappy with the situation.

 

It must have gotten worse since last summer. I went with another vehicle back then and it didn't seem too bad. The YouTube video with the taco almost sliding off made it look really bad.

 

I have close to the same suspension set up. 885s Ome, 1/2” top plate spacers. I got 3” in the front. Icon add a leafs, left in my overload spring and got 3.5” in the rear. Left my 265/70/17 Duratracts on. I’m pretty happy with it. I have a canopy so the add a leafs are tamed down a bit. My tires have close to 68k on them so I ordered SPC UCAs that will be here tomorrow and I’m jumping to either 285/70/17 or 275/80/17 if I can find someone that stocks them in the Goodyear MTR.

 

I think my OME ride great on the street. No experience with anything else but stock tho.

 

Did it after nwol and didn't think it was bad at all

Did it last year in a stock (except tires) long bed sport. Armor not required

 

Discount Tire for your MTRs?

 

Yeah it's a little bit sketch but doable without a spotter or armor. A stock tacoma or 4runner could do it.

 

From what I've been told by people who've had them is that it's harsh over pot holes, speed bumps, etc. But plenty of other people like you who are happy with it.

 

Discount doesn’t stock 275/80/17 MTRs, even went as far to tell me they don’t exist. I called Tire Rack and they are a month out on back order.

 

Wont lie, I'm having an issue with big potholes but I think my body might be hitting my sliders but can't rule out the suspension

 

Feck.

Guess I got lucky. Over 60k on one set from him, was about to order another. Guess I'll be looking at TOG.
