    The last few times out, I had good luck at raging river (exit 27), not packed and the people/groups spread out pretty well.

    dimensionally it doesn’t work. With some Dremel work i might be able to get the factory switches to fit.

    let me know how that body lift works out. I’ve been contemplating getting one for my truck to hopefully offset the amount of trimming I have to do in order to fit 37’s

    It's sitting at the post office waiting for me. I'm swooping it up on my way home. I need someone to pump the brakes while I bleed them.... Preferably 6' away, in the cab, while I'm under the truck.

    :boink:


    :notsure:



    You still Wuhan or naaah?

    I never have had good luck with any of the solo bleeding devices. Something usually goes wrong and by the time i notice it's all fucked.

    I mean, don't get me wrong, I they probably work very well, but I'm not the kind to sit around and read the directions. I ain't got time for that. I'm pretty good the old fashioned way, and I don't like to drink alone. Only alcoholics drink alone. :anonymous: :cheers::drunk:

    Test came back negative, feeling a lot better. I’m actually going to head out for a short walk In a little bit, let me know when you’re home and I might be able to swing over

    Get a soda bottle, clean it out, get some tubing (1/4 or 5/16 ID if i remember right), drill hole in soda bottle lid, pour a bit of brake fluid in bottom of...f this let me find a picture

    Do this. Just make sure the hose is all the way in the bottle. Never had an issue bleeding this way. Just pump like 4 or 5 times and then check the master level. Just go till its nice clean fluid in the hose

    My only experience with mountain bike trails is places I've been on trail runs (which usually close the trail to bikes for the day :anonymous:)
    That said, these ones had some pretty nice looking trails. I'm not sure of their current open or closed status though.

    Heh last time I tried that way it tipped over and I didn't notice. I really am terrible at bleeding brakes solo.

    Any suggestions for cool spots to check out this weekend over in Eastern WA? I'm just looking to get on a dirt or gravel road and wander and not concerned about holiday traffic over the pass since I live in Moses Lake. I was thinking about the eastern part of the Saddle Mountains and the Nike Missile site, but am open to suggestions!
