Oregon and Washington BS thread

Couple of questions for the group - hoping the collective wisdom here can help me out too.

Anyone in the Portland area with the ECGS Bushing Removal Tool I could borrow? Happy to 'rent it' if that gets someone motivated to assist; trying to avoid buying the tool for a one time use. Thinking I may try and tackle the install this weekend or the following depending on how busy the Gearhead Garage is in Tigard. Also, anyone have prior experience going there? I'm sure it's busier on the weekends, but idk how far in advance I should call ahead a make a reservation for a bay.

I'm also looking to get a CMC performed soon, so any recommendations on where to go in the Portland area is appreciated. Accessory Outfitters in Aloha quoted me $350 w/ parts and labor, but that feels expensive for this kind of work. I don't have the welding skills otherwise I'd try and handle this myself. If there are alternative options to going to an official garage - definitely open to suggestions. Willing to pay with a mixture of beer, food, and/or a little cash.

Thanks!

 

I should have a used ECGS tool available for rent (pay shipping both ways) or purchase ($25) next week if you can wait that long. I’m Renton, WA

 

Awesome! Shoot for $25 I'd be willing to purchase. That would give me flexibility on date for install. I'll send you a PM!


Anyone else who can provide feedback on my other questions - thanks in advance!

 

I have one in the Portland metro area as well.

 

Anyone been in GP lately anywhere between Panther Creek Falls and Trout Lake? Any snow left, or is it too dry this year?

 

Who around the Portland area has RCI sliders or Cali Raised sliders on their 3rd gen? It would be awesome to see some in person before making a decision.

 

It was good seeing you too man. Felt like it wasn't long ago you talked about going back to school and look at you now man. Glad things are going well and hope you get a house you want. Time flies for sure and I'll for sure hit you up.

 

These things are only $147 USD in OZ.

 

That’s crazy!
$229 is a deal too. Where is that?

 

Auto parts store just outside Sydney. With all the virus BS the exchanged rate has been quite friendly for us Americans. .63 cents for a aussy dollar at the moment.

 

Oh gotcha. You going to start exporting some? Lol

 

Anyone have a 3rd Gen passenger side headlight?

Looking to pick up around Seattle Metro area.

 

Fuuuuuuuuuck. I started freaking out cause I couldn’t find my phone.... welp I buried it at work and had to hand dig it back out of the ditch. Lucky nothing broke just dirty

 

Dang! Your lucky you found it.

 

Should have made one of the other 4 guys standing around dig it up for you, boss.

I'm kidding. Glad you found it when you were digging in the dirt with your hands. Otherwise.....awkwardddd.

 

I have full set of headlights and fog lights from my 18 limited I put leds in.

 

I only realized I was missing it after we dumped rock in our ditch to backfill and I was tamping it with the backhoe.... took my coat off and Realized it wasn’t in my coat pocket anymore and started freaking out. Luckily we could hear my ringer thru the rock.

 

hella lucky

 

Hahahahaha. Close call.

 

Yup I would say
