Oregon and Washington BS thread

i will need new wheels. ive only had these wheels and tires a year. im down to sell or trade them. i have 1 1/4 spacers now. these are 17" fn countersteer type x. with 33" e-load ko2's. motor mounts should be good at this mileage. just spent half the morning in a puddle changing my carrier height. huge improvement! would have never guessed it needed dropped further. its almost 1" down. both drivelines are within a tenth a degree. next i need to possibly pull my leaf shims. thats a two person job with the trac bar.

 

White Lightning - Please let me know if your under truck camera captures the vibration . . . my 3rd Gen Taco has a rear end hop at 48mph which dealer and Toyota FST say is "characteristic" or "within normal tolerance" . . . I was thinking about the camera thing as well (now if I could get the wife to return the ugly tie and get me a GoPro for Christmas instead . . .)

 

hey man. id be happy to help you out. my life is super busy working two jobs but if we can meet up sometime soonish hells yes. i also have a digital angle finder for checking things out.

 

you're alive lol

 

Just a heads up if anyone with a 6 speed manual is dealing with a squeaky throw out bearing like mine, there is a group buy going on for a hydraulic bearing kit from Clutch Masters that looks pretty legit.

Doubt we'll meet anytime soon - I'm in New Hampshire. I'd be curious if the camera catches the vibration . . .

 

Well we got accepted on an offer on a amazing house in Sandy. Pretty happy about it

 

Sandy is an awesome little town. Great news.

 

not so little my friend.... lol

 

hell yea!! Awesome!!! Party at your place!! Glad I know where it is. Hahahahaha.

 

It has grown over the years. But it's is not over populated like Portland, Oregon City and Clackamas has gotten. crazy how these places have grown.

 

Did I hear party? when? LOL

 

it is outgrowing it’s infrastructure.... the hard part is they keep adding subdivisions and starting them out at 450 to 500k... but because the two main roads in Sandy are controlled by ODOT you don’t get a lot of infrastructure change without having to go through the state of Oregon versus just the city of Sandy.... they are just now adding more police... they are going to be building a new wastewater treatment plant in the next 5-10. I mean don’t give me wrong I love Sandy because it’s not Portland and Clackamas but it’s not the little town that I knew of when I was younger

 

That is all of Oregon. Our infrastructure is 30 years behind across the board. I grew up in Colton, miss it dearly. Portland just plain sucks but I have to stay a few more years before I retire. We have a family farm in Woodburn that I take care of and try to get down to every other week just to keep from going crazy. I wouldn't wish Portland on my worst enemy yet I am still here LOL.

Be Safe...

oh trust me. I work for a city government. I understand infrastructure.

Cheers right back at ya, and you never know I get out there every once in a while. Maybe this summer someone can set up a meet and greet for everyone.

Be Safe
