NW WA BS Thread (Whatcom, Skagit, Island counties)

I stay far away from Karmart. I have had some bad experience there as well.

 

Do any of you guys or girls, go crawling up at Walker Valley? I take my buggy up there, but never the Tacoma. The gate keepers are kind of tight, I haven't attempted it yet in the Tacoma.

 

I’ve had my 96’ in there before.

 

Anybody need a set of '12 to '15 fog lights and surrounds? What about a rollup tonneau cover? Trying to make room in my garage.

Not interested in shipping, can meet up anywhere in Bellingham. Shoot me a PM if interested.

 

I had a guy in a second gen Tundra follow me through there when I had my Jeep. He never went wheeling with us again after that...

 

Had meridian tire do my alignment too. Good job and a fair price.

 

Snooooooooooooow! Kind of a weird day weather-wise. Stay safe out there if you've gotta drive. The crappy drivers are busy crashing right now.

 

I see Whatcom has snow but down in Skagit it’s raining cats and dogs and 35*

 

It was dumping rain up here for most of the morning. I had to run some errands with the kiddo this morning and purposefully took roads that I knew would have standing water on them. She loves splashing water in the truck. Now she's out in the back yard sledding. Forecast for today was 45* and rain... Juuuuuuust missed it. I want to go drive around on my new winter tires, but I also want to wait for all the crappy drivers to take themselves out first. I5 already has a few accidents going.

 

I’ve seen some pics today from Blaine/Custer with 4” already.

 

Not that much where I'm at. I took the truck out for a lap of the neighborhood so that the kiddos could see the Christmas lights in the snow. This is my first season running a dedicated studless winter tire and holy hell, what a difference they make. I've always felt that the truck did decently in the snow on my AT's, but this thing is solid now. I had to romp a lot harder than I usually drive in order to get the back wheels to break loose in 2wd. On the hills it felt like the roads were clear, no issue stopping on the downhills. I'll have to see how they hold up, but so far I give two thumbs up for these guys:

Picked them up at Discount, took them a bit to get them in. Running 235/85R16.

 

I have But have a nice ding in my side panel right after sliders thanks to the yellow poles haha. Fun place to go but more for jeeps, runners and short beds if you feel lucky.

 

I will be tuning 3rd gen Tacomas this Saturday up north. I have OVTune, KDMAX, and soon CVC Tune.

DM me if you are interested and for pricing.

 

I made it in just fine. And we got a completely stock rig (upgraded tires) in with some maxtrax and a lot of patience.

i see @ready6delta commented already he was there that day

 

Anyone know of a place around Whatcom county that will do a cab mount chop?

 

Any chance you’ll be heading north again if there’s enough interest in tuning?

 

Absolutely. Gather some friends. I could make some time in October.

 

I'm interested. Located in Bellingham, could drive a bit South if needed.

 

Can you get across the border? https://overlandoutfitters.ca/

 

Affordable Auto Works here in town did it for me!
