NW WA Meet / BS Thread

looking at maybe doing a regear. Just need to start pricing it out

 

Well that got spicy

 

I have a set you can borrow or buy if you want. They're built for a third gen, but should fit a second gen. I'll be in Snoqualmie Thursday and Friday.

 

For sure there’s no rush on it. I dont Need them until early May. I just need to borrow them until we get the new tent and i can bend up a set that’s the correct height

 

No problem. Let me know when you need it. I work in Snoqualmie so I can meet up whenever.

 

Thanks guys. Still only semi looking but still appreciate it!

 

Least you have one! So many people dont have anything.

The refillable water ones are awesome to have around too for small fires. Used mine a ton for all sorts of stuff.

They probably wont mount to the rail but nothing a few C-Clamps cant do. I know that was the problem with my old relentless fab bed bars was that the mounting holes were different from 2nd gen to 3rd gen.

 

Bossman told me yes, he has a shadow that could be for sale. But no, it isn't really a bike for the wife.

It's an older model and currently a torn apart project lol

 

I had a small water bottle with a hole in it to put out little flare ups and a wet towel when I was there on Sunday....the towel dried out and my water bottle went MIA, ended up pouring a beer on it, I tried to run outside and get some more water before i grabbed the extinguisher outta the truck

 

I'll be moving to the JBLM area in OCT and wanted to say hi before I get there. Any tips or advice before I land would be appreciated. Excited for the move, heard nothing but great things. Down for any meets as well. Bought my taco in germany and there aren't any meets out here. See you all soon

 

Hope you don't mind lots of traffic...

 

military? We have a few members stationed at JBLM, @ready6delta comes to
mind

 

I have a popping sound coming from when I’m turning the wheel I’m thinking CV axel but not 100% sure because they look fine does anyone have any ideas on what else it could be? https://youtube.com/shorts/4PdqljUcNFs?feature=share

 

check your steering rack bolts, tie rod ends, UCA/LCA bushings and ball joints

 

Will do thanks!

 

It’s easiest to do with another person in the truck turning the wheel to the left and right while you’re underneath watching for movement

 

Check your lower shock bushing...i was getting some gnarly pop/bind sounds while turning and this seems to be the culprit (at least for me).

 

Had the same thing happen to me on my 5100’s I switched them out to fox’s and that’s the first thing I checked once the popping started they look good tho I’m thinking it’s either CV’s or upper control arm bushings but I’ll use @Usethe2nd advice and get under the truck this weekend and have the girlfriend turn the wheel I’ll update once I figure out what the culprit is!

 

I'd be ok if he needed to drill it to make them fit a second gen. Jim welded it up for me last minute for something similar a few years ago. I bought a CVT tent and needed to pick it up in Bend and headed on a 3,500 mile road trip from there. Jim was bending and welding 72 hours before I needed to leave. I would still be using it, but once I got the tent I realized it wasn't long enough and I needed it a little bit taller.
