NW WA Meet / BS Thread

^^^This 100%.

 

you're about in radio range. I know a couple people right down there that I've talked to over the radio. Let me know if you want to come by and sip some whiskey. I think @WrecklessAbandon likes whiskey too.

 

Indeed

 

Got the first cross bar welded on the swing out tailgate after work today.

 

I like where this is going. Where did you get the pin handle? Looks very much like the ones Wilco uses. I’ve been wanting their tire gate until I saw the price. Gonna make my own one of these days

 

Just search for hitch pins on Amazon. These ones are 1/2" and 3 5/8" long.

 

ISO: DCLB 6spd, preferably super white

 

Sorry @longhairedhippy just seeing this now. We went up. Was awesome. Would be down for going up again. Was about 2hrs up and 1 1/2 down.

 

That combination with crew cab long bed and manual doesn’t exist as far as I know

 

I saw the 4 door long bed in green. Its owner was Will, had the name Penguin_cc I think on here.

 

With a manual transmission?

 

Whoops, didn't pay attention to the 6mt.

No, his truck was auto. I have heard before that the manual isn't available in the DCLB. I'll send a message off to my cousin's husband who works at a toyota dealership.

 

Nice, Looking good! I ended up chickening out after looking over the USFS maps, I didn't want to drive all the way down to Rainier to not find anything to get into. Haha, started looking at snowmobile ads on Craigslist! I'm driving my son to Chicago next week for school so I should get to see some snow, although probably not off road. Once I get back, I will have to check it out (without the wife, she gets a little skittish, so I do the sketchy stuff w/o her )

 

@Usethe2nd
I just got a message back from my cousin's husband, who is the sales manager at a dealership. He said that the DCLB manual doesn't exist, but he wishes they did.

Wave hi to me on your way through Spokompton, assuming you take i90 across.

 

Fuck that’s right, completely forgot only DCSB and ACLB came with the 6spd. Going to have to think about my options even more now, my AC is too small for the GF, kid and I. Was planning on swapping parts between the two and selling my AC to pay off the new truck

 

Frankenstein some parts together.
DCSB with 6mt for cab
DCLB frame
Custom rear driveline

 

DCSB with a 6' flatbed FTW

 

I swear I saw a free canopy in the Craigslist thread. Get that and toss some fishy crackers and juice boxes in there and your golden.

 

Do you need a long bed? I have a DCSB and have never found myself in a situation where a long bed would have come in handy. The only time I sleep in the back is by myself too, me, wife and kids would definitely not be able to all fit back there even with a LB.
