NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Looking for a good place for an alignment. Some place that can max out caster, not just toe and go.

 

There is indeed a overlook and where a train use to run. I wasn't up there for the thunder storms and thats a good thing.

It is a very nice fire pit, did you make it?

 

Anybody here run 255/80/17 tires? My 265s are going to be due to replace in the not too distant future, I've found myself off the beaten path a bit more often lately and want some more height. Are 255s a good choice or should I just man up and go 285s?

 

You're not looking at wildpeaks are ya?

 

i hear theyre da best.

 

at popping beads.

 

No? Was leaning towards St Maxx, something that can handle snow a little better than the K02s

 

Ive had decent luck at the les scwab in Port orchard. Just ask to talk to the tech before he does it and tell him what I'd like. Usually mention it's not stock suspension and the guy seemed to understand then.

The Firestone in Bremerton has been fine for me too. Same deal I'd just ask to talk to the tech first

 

hmmm. i have ko2's and found them outstanding in the snow. if there is indeed a better option id like to learn more.

 

The ST Maxx's work great in all conditions until they reach near the end of the lifespan.
I did research before ordering the replacements and could not come up with any sensible reason to switch.
I have ST Maxx in 265/75 r16 on right now. I am replacing them with ST Maxx in 285/75 r16. I would have gone with the skinnies but the maximum wheel width is 7.5" and mine are 8". I like my bead seated nice and good. I was being a bit of a 'Hoonigan' on some forest roads off Blewett pass last Tuesday and was worried enough about popping a bead.
Wheel width compatibility should be considered. We ain't running no ghetto stanced vehicles here!

 

Assuming they're both E rated, I think the KO2 is just barely better in the deep stuff, when you're aired down. They're both crazy good. And that size is awesome. You'd be happy either way, as long as it's E rated and you go low psi.

 

I didn't even consider width, I've got 8" wheels. Looks like time to man up and cab mount chop. I was out in the Olympics and was hitting the bumper on some shit I shouldn't have been on alone. 285s look better anyways

 

Me! That size in the St Maxx. Great tire and pretty dang quiet on the road for a tire so aggressive. Will absolutely buy again unless someone comes out with a comparable skinny that weighs significantly less.

 

Thanks, that’s good to hear

 

Where at in the Olympics, most of it is closed unless usfs. I have yet to find anything trail rated out there.

 

Anyone worked fiberglass before? Trying to make and intake for my ls400. Trying to get the mold finalized and start laying it down.



@Wyckedan ?

 

I think it was nf2909. It was blocked about 1/2 way through, quite over grown, and decent sized water runoffs. I wouldn't call it trail rated, just sketchy as fuck with no shovel, traction boards, winch, etc. It just stops and you have to turn around and go right back. All the rest of it up there is just gravel roads

 

If by working with you mean drilling holes in boats then yes. If you mean something that's not drilling holes then no

 

Not I'm not sure where you are. A train definitely still runs below the area I'm thinking of. 20x a probably.

 

Ok, I'll hit you up if I need to drill holes in this once I think I'm done.
