NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I would be interested in the seeing the product but have reservations about the heat on the feed lines to the hardmounts at each wheel well.

 

Send some my way please. I could smell the moisture in the air this morning, the temp is lower, and the clouds are here, but not dripping yet.

 

Go to Daft Badger Brewing in CDA. Get the Josiah stout. They also have another stout that is the Josiah aged in bourbon barrels, and has slightly higher alcohol content, but I like the flavor of the original better.

 

Head gasket.

3.0 suck

I’ve done several of them

 

I finally got around to returning my recalled harbor freight jack stands today. They are offering cash or store credit now, but you get more back with store credit. I went with the cash for my two sets of 6 ton 61197 stands.

 

Sold it for 3500 bucks within an hour of posting it. Lol

 

Now that we've had some rain to test with, I can safely say the ST Maxx blow the Ko2 "out of the water" with wet weather traction

 

Question??? Pulled a screw from my tire about a month ago. Threw a plug in it and have been driving it, fairly hard, with no issues. I know this is a risk. Question is: Can/will a tire shop still be able to properly patch/plug my tire still? Puncture was in the thick tread and closer to the center of tire. 10,000 miles KO2 285/75. Damn KO2zzz

 

I’m in the market for tires as well and are we’re considering the ST Maxx since it seems like a great all around tire, but I want something more aggressive looking like the STT Pro or Goodyear MTR.

did you cross shop any other tire?

 

I considered the Falken as well. I'd consider the ST Maxx to be pretty damn aggressive looking

 

Anyone get a new 4Runner recently, my fiancé’s been eyeballing them and because used is so close to the cost of new she’s thinking new.

Curious what people are paying?

she’s a nurse so needs 4wd just in case.

 

I put my wifey into one in 2016. She test drove it and fell in love right then and there. I want to say it was about $45k, I think Limited trim, and 4wd. She has been more confident driving I'm snow and ice ever since. It has also become our dog hauler, with back seats down, dog beds in for a base, then a futon mattress over the top. It does ride very smoothly, but about 45,000 miles in, tires are wearing unevenly, thinning out on the inside corner all around. It is all stock still.

 

Any word on a September meet up yet?

 

Still looking for a couple for this weekend the 26th - https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/wa-group-run-sept-oct.683357/

 

Does anyone want to donate their steel spare wheels to me? Looking for a total of 5

 

Thanks for sharing man. My dads wife didn’t like the ride so I was hoping that someone would provide this information. Weird about the tire wear. It sounds like the dealership may be overinflating it but hard to say if you have done chalk tests.

 

You can have my 16" one that has been sitting in my back yard for 2-3 years. It comes with the Rugged Fail on it though

 

Sweet! I should be heading up that way soon I’ll let you know when i can grab it.

thanks

 

I've got one for you too, 16x6.5, 8 lug with a tire from 1995 on it, still holding air.

I haven't done a chalk test. The uneven wear is about equal on both passenger and driver sides. What I might do is take it to Firestone and get the lifetime alignment for it, but that won't be until next summer before I get new tires.
Factory tires are the Dunlop AT20 in 265/70/17. Rear axle is linked and has coils, not leaf springs to hold things up.

 

Anyone have OEM style 2nd gen tail lights? The LED style? Busted my right one yesterday
