NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Lol meant the location

 

There are scorpions too.

 

Ha! Sorry!
If u turn off like going to the gorge amphitheater but keep going to the very end if the road u can rough camp by the river. It’s very nice. Super hot in summer
Google satellite view gorge amphitheater and follow the road to the end and you’ll see where I mean.

Hey! Don’t laugh at me.
I’m old!

 

Where? I’ve searched high and low for the damn things but have never found them

 

So question for you....with the standard OEM E-locker in the rear diff, you have an indicator that will remain lit if locked and blink if it isn't and you can typically feel when the rear unlocks anyway. When activating the Harrop in the front, is there any visual confirmation of being locked or can you just tell by how it handles that everything has meshed and is locked up or unlocked?

 

with a selectable locker in the front, once its locked in you will know. turning becomes really difficult. doesnt matter if elocker or airlocker you will know

 

Okay cool. One more question for you or @hoarder23.....with the rear E-locker sometimes I have to turn the wheel a bit one way or the other to get locked up (usually don't have to do this to unlock but once in a while I do)......can either of you comment on how finicky(if at all) the Harrop is to lock up the front versus say an air locker?

 

Just walk around barefoot in the desert and you’ll find one. Works better if u r naked and unarmed.
Ask me how I know.

 

Come to Arizona.....we'll get you hooked up with all the local venomous wildlife...

 

BTDT, a few weeks is enough for me. I can barely survive above 80°.

 

Use your ears and not your eyes grasshoppa. You'll most likely hear one before you see it, and by that point, you're probably standing right on top of it.

I wonder what a 10mm would do to a snake at 5yrds. If you could hit the damn thing.

I was soooo glad I spent the winter in Missouri and not the summer. BIVUAC in the snow is more bearable than the humid heat and critters. Fox holes and snakes and ticks etc.. just don't work for me.

 

The only indication on my setup (OEM Toyota RR DIFF LOCK switch) is the button pressed in. You notice a change in handling and I turn it off as soon as I don't need it. The beauty of the Harrop is how quickly they engage and disengage, you hit one button in any drivetrain config and in one diff rotation you have a locked diff, off is basically instant unless under strain.

 

Cool man.

I'll definitely be looking into the Harrop for the front diff.

 

My recent trip to DV:
My buds were giving me a ration of shit about the RTT that I bought and sported while they camped on the ground.
1/2 thru the trip, I encountered a giant rattler that was rattling so vigorously that I could hear it in the truck and I thought it was a punctured tire due to the whooshing sound. Then very next morning at high elevation on Hunter Mountain, I was help a non-RTT bud fold up his ground cover and sure-as-shit a scorpion had camped under him all night. Photo proof...


Scorpions sting is no joke:
Got stung in my heel in the dark while walking from the house to the attached garage to get a bottled water in La Mesa, CA. Felt like stepping on a needle. Called ER and they said that if there was a red line running up my leg, get in; otherwise you have to sit it out as I did for 3 hours of numb foot and ankle. There was no blood at the puncture spot so i think I only got 1/3-1/2 of a dose of venom.

 

So...do you really have to loosen the lca bolts and remove the knuckle bolts to put a lean shim in?
Gave myself Rhabdo last week and still recovering.
I’m lucky as I had gone to work and not seen a doctor six days afterward. Kidneys are pist, one is swollen with fluid but no blockages found.
I have a bad time stopping when something needs to get done.

I’m going to see how much it’ll run to get it installed and aligned. I can’t stand the excessive taco lean .

 

Had a baby one the size of a large ant fall into my work glove and sting me on the wrist
Was no fun

 

Though you had bp51s? I has zero lean with them.

 

Two agm batteries and my 230lbs ass!
The lean is so bad I'd swear the frames bent.

Mule added a little more preload when the BPs were replaced but it doesn't look like it helped much.

 

You can also disconnect the Outer TRE and sway bar to slide the coilovers out the side.
