NW WA Meet / BS Thread

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?

 

Nope. Lesson learned.

 

Too be fair...wheel locks are pretty easy to defeat, but at least it deters casual onlookers.

 

Do Warn winches ever go on sale?

I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on this 10k.

$865 WARN 103253 VR EVO 10-S Electric 12V DC Winch with Synthetic Rope: 3/8" Diameter x 90' Length, 5 Ton (10000 lb) Pulling Capacity

What about locking lug nuts? Same deal?

 

I think so. Wheel locks/locking lug nuts same thing. There are some that spin, so you cant hammer on a socket to take it off. But even then, I think you can break those off with the right tools.

 

contact @HeadStrong Off-Road for a quote.

 

At least they put it on blocks

 

Thanks never realized she sold winches. I got both my shocks and UCA from her; will message her.

 

Good news. Truck is being towed to the dealership today. Thanks again for the offer. Much appreciated.
