NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I read that twice, finished my beer, and just finished another. Read it again, but Im still coming up confused. I'll try again after a few more.

 

Unlocked with a broken CV at the hub, path of least resistance=2wd. Granted with it locked it did smack around and made hard contact with some expensive things

 

By any chance, does anyone have 3 stock tires they don't need anymore? Just noticed 3 of my tires have dimples in the sidewalls...

 

a lot of people are on Baofengs. We use MURS channel 3 which doesn't require a license. 7pm each night. PM me if you want more details.

 

speaking of that I’ve never used the CB function of my baofeng, I’ve been looking at a dedicated CB radio though. Can i access True CB channels with my Baofeng? Or should i buy the

$158 CMX760 Bearcat Off Road Series Compact Mobile CB Radio, 40-Channel Operation, Ultra-Compact for Easy Mounting, Large 7-Color Backlit LCD Display on Mic with Built-in Speaker Mic, Black

CMX760?

 

Speaking of CB’s that was my quarantine Mod of the day.

 

I just pulled my spare off. Yours if you want it. 0 miles on it.

 

At over $100 I'm not sure the juice was worth the squeeze. I'd settle for a plain Jane uniden 510.

 

Lol, I do like the blue better. The cobra 75x has the 90’s cheesey yellowish green.

 

Any particular reason why? I’ll buy yours for $50

 

$50 + a NIB uniden?


Squelch is a pain to adjust on the fly, it's like a 3 button press process, not just a knob to turn, and I'm pretty sure it received a shit load more interference than normal cbs. I ran this one and complained then read reviews on it. I tend to do that a lot. Buy things realize they suck and then read reviews and majority consensus is it also sucks. I should really start reading reviews before my PayPal/wallet comes flying out. While it's nice to have it hidden and all compact n shit, it's basically a wash with the +'s and -'s and general useability of it, were a $40-50 simple cb is just as good. Plus, cbs are capped at 4w so what's the point? Spend $40 and transmit at 4w, or spend $140 and still only transmit at 4w. That's like not using Geico and paying more for your car insurance. Especially if you're on stay at home orders, but your paying the same insurance premiums for all those theoretical miles you used to drive before the 'rona.

 

$50 and I’ll run my fingers through your beard

 

see updated response above.

 

In for Gallagher lake @Jasonstacoma

 

You drive a hard bargain, $25 and a single finger through the beard

 

5/2 or 5/3?

 

Don’t worry we will pick your truck apart like a bunch of vultures if you die!

 

So I'm pretty sure I glued my rear diff to the axle. I used this stuff I had laying around, Loctite 5127 "flange sealant", thinking it was similar to rtv, but I'm thinking like most of the products made under the Loctite name, it locs it Tite.


The damn thing won't budge and both shafts are out and the locker is engaged. Not even a wiggle.

 

Put the yoke back on and come a long it.

 

I was just thinking that. I should probably put a couple of the stud nuts back on for when it finally decides to let go so that it doesn't end up going through the backside of my engine.
