NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Been thinking of upgrading my tank from a 40 gallon to an 80. Looking for the 80 now, would anyone be interested in my 40 once the 80 is set up and ready to go?

 

The hilarious irony of the thread that it originated in is contained in the thread title: "Fitting 35's with minimal trimming"

It's a pretty sweet solution, but it makes me chuckle to think of how the project started: I don't want to cut sheet metal, so let's CUT OFF suspension/frame components and make new ones. But no fender trimming!

 

I think you could just add a little more protection on the skid plate and then do the old fashioned run a bead behind the tab trick and achieve the same results.

 

tank?

 

Fish tank, want to roughly double the size

 

Ahh. I missed that part.

 

Yeah, this is probably true. I already have the BAMF LCA skids and I think they cover 85% of what the Marlin kit would do plus I don't think they would fit with the Marlin setup either. I've already got so much damn maintenance to do to my poor truck, I need to stop adding on more projects before I even start the other ones.

 

ok so I'm headed out to Alford dry lake bed on Friday.
thinking of getting a Ham

$18 BAOFENG UV-5r VHF/UHF Dual Band Radio 144-148MHz 420-450MHz Transceiver

BAOFENG UV-5r, for emergency only.
I am not licensed and I accept full responsibility

Any experience, advise, wisdom would be appreciated.

FYI:
we are doing a stunt for a documentary of movie that came out at the same time as Star Wars.
That movie obviously didn't succeed...
I "might" be the driver of said stunt...

 

You better take your ibuprofen, and Insure! Haha j.k thats cool as hell man, would enjoy seeing the vid when it gets done. Have a kick butt time!

 

You're gonna drive right by my house on your way. and you can use mine.

 

My wife would kill me lol. I'm thinking about making a long acrylic tank with a built-in filter though.

 

Also hell of a game tonight.

 

The long streak of Pete Carroll's fucked up game management continues, but they escaped with a win this time.

Why the fuck did he need a timeout right after the 2:00 minute warning in OT?

 

Why the fuck didn't the niners run the clock and take the tie

 

8-0 going for 9-0 and undisputed top of NFC West would be my guess....

But Tuesday morning quarterbacking would suggest 8-0-1 would have been the better outcome because they lost. Had they done that and taken the tie, they’d likely be getting roasted in the press and by the fans for playing it safe...

bur that’s that just conjecture and my opinion....

 

Shanahan isn't the best at time management...looking at you SB51...

I agree though, I think a part of it was being crucified by everyone for "copping out" when being 8-0-1 is way better than 8-1.

 

I'm guessing they saw something they didn't like and thought it would be disastrous. I'm more concerned with multiple dropped interceptions lol. I guess that's why they are on defense and not receivers. Actually there is a lot to be puzzled with and amazed with at the same time.

 

Even more concerning than the dropped interceptions are all the fumbles by the guys that already had the ball in their hands. I realize some of it was unavoidable but between Carson last week and the multiple turnovers this week we need to figure out how to hang onto the ball when we have it.

 

Shanahan was a Matt Ryan not getting sacked away from being a genius.

I guess hindsight is 20/20 and Shanahan has since mentioned be would have liked to run the clock to give Seattle less time but the tie would have dared better for the niners than the loss, press be damned.

It was very telling how great George kittle is with how the team was in his absence. And when sanders went down they were completely done. Not sure why there were no screens or putting Coleman out wide.

Also, Dante Pettis stinks
