NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I am installing the electrical for my winch on a cradle this week. All parts come in tomorrow.

 

Hey @utroda, you got a call from a 425 number this morning, Brian gave it to me, we were seeing if you were going to make it

 

Ahh sry man, I didn’t see the change of location before I went to sleep last night saw it this morning but didn’t get up in time. But I’ll save that number for next time

 

I've got one I use. What's up?

 

so has anyone here ran the maxxis trepadors?

 

good times all thanks for the meet up! I pretty much just have pics of kids playing in the snow.

Justin, we never got to tuning your antenna. And I'd like to figure out why you Baofeng wouldn't take a CHIRP config.

 

I am looking at doing a hitch mount eventually on my truck, and getting a front bumper with receiver slot, then putting wiring front and rear, with switches in cab to control power to only front or rear at a time, but not both.

 

Maybe I’ll head up your way next time I’m free and we will get it sorted

 

No, I’ve been eyeballing them in the 37x12.5r16 though.

I’m going to wait until i have a dedicated daily driver besides my truck

 

They look so beef. I love my MTRs but damn, i just want to know how they perform in mud/snow.

 

i ran into a guy at Walker valley who was running the 40x13.5R17 trepador Comp tires. You could grab a lug and almost bend it over on itself, he said they were like glue on the rocks but he’d be missing chunks if he were to drive them on the street.

 

I had posted a few pics in a different thread, but here's a couple that I took from the back! And posted a video of @Usethe2nd blowing through some mud: https://youtu.be/882fLm0QyWY







I had no problems in Back Country MTs @ 10 PSI, however I was in the back most of the way up so I don't know if that helped.

 

I think the best traction would've been at the front of the line so the fact your tires did good in the back is saying something. Thanks for sharing the pix and vid.

 

Sorry man, I was worried about changing things up at the last minute. Thanks again to @JDAM for leading the pack! As well as all the folks that jumped in with the winching! As a noob, I wasn't a lot of help

 

Where did you end up going?

 

We went up Tucker Creek Rd, heading off the freeway here: 47.23516, -121.17547 and our turn around point was here: 47.20222, -121.17235

I've shared the route, although I didn't realize I left my phone on battery saver so it may be choppy. https://onxoffroad.app.link/Zee119oAdcb

 

Damn I take a few weeks off from the interweb and fall a million pages behind!

Hope everyone is doing well all things considered!

 

I know that feeling well

 

2yrs since my engine swap and still going strong. Although I haven't even crossed over 10k miles on the truck since then.

 

sorry for the late upload but here's more pictures from Sunday
