NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Sheet metal... maybe get crazy and meet up with @Siebler and punch in some dimple dies. He added them in the PNW tool library. Post #160 https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/pnw-tool-library.602410/

 

Well, I hope y’all are having a better 2021 than I am so far. Came out to my rig on blocks today.

 

Oh man! Sad day.

 

God damn, sorry to hear that Colby!

 

Mother fucker.

If insurance is a pain or you're in a pinch, I have 4 trd OR wheels and OEM tires with a few hundred miles you could borrow for a little while. I bought them for a matching spare/ replacement tires but haven't done anything with them yet. No TPMS, but they have valve stems and are supposedly balanced. I'm near maple valley.

 

JFC. If I ever see someone pulling some shit like that they'll never be seen again.

Sorry for your loss dude.

What wheels/tires did you have so we can all keep an eye out?

 

WTF? I have my set of take offs and lugs if you need something to get you rolling again.

 

That would be sweet. Too bad hes in portland though

 

I appreciate the support, really. I think I'll be okay for a few days until I can get some quotes and a shop to take it to. Contacted insurance and they'll cover it (just how much is yet to be seen).

The truck should be alright on blocks for a few days, yeah? Wouldn't cause any damage to the drums or rotors?

Originals were TRD Pro Sema 17" (black) with 265-70r17 KO2s - about 50 % tread left.

 

No wonder you don't want to use my poverty wheels. I'll keep an eye out.

 

You gonna just have them drag it up on a roll back?

 

this sucks too, see! If you need wheels to roll on, I have a set of SR5 ones in Renton, and can see if I can bring them to you on Friday.

if you have a way to pick the wheels in Renton, you can pick them up tonight.

 

Don't leave it like that. It could fall off and break more shit, or hurt someone.

Sux, man! Fucking hate thieves... dealt with them my whole life.

 

It takes minutes cut gotta drill a 1/2" or 3/4" hole and we can punch/dimple up to 1/8" in a couple moments. Ive got it on a hydraulic ram, just swing by in East Portland and we can knock out. They can be done in place too as long as there is clearance for the die so weld in the metal and come down when you can. Dont have to put it in a press or anything

 

Glad to have another reminder which rig to look for around town.

 

Well, technically it only needs two wheels for a tow, but I'm not really sure though at this point. I can't imagine they don't have a way to deal with these situations.

Thanks, man. I'll see what I find out tomorrow.

I don't have any alternative at this point (no jack or wooden blocks).

 

I have a 3ton floor Jack you can borrow as well. If anyone can pick it up in Renton from me and drop wheels/Jack to you, let me know. I’m super swamped with work and daddy duties to make the drive up north before Friday.

I think I also have full set of lug nuts as well.

 

I appreciate that. I'll let you either way.

 

Definitely something metal. If you load things into the bed, you don't want them to be able to fall out through holes in the tailgate. My first thought was put some diamond plate on it. The stamped metal would be way better though.

 

I hate people.

Did you have wheels locks?
