NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Right now I have the medium Ironman leafs, I do have airbags but ideally I would like to ditch them and get a heavier pack. We’ll see how it all looks with the bags aired out. I think the Ironman leafs are 440lb

 

Ron! Thanks again for letting me check out your camper. Getting a little closer but still feels like forever until June.

 

It’s driving me nuts waiting. Especially with this nice weather. I can’t convince myself to climb back in my RTT now to go somewhere.

 

Haha I hear you. I sold my RTT so only have a ground tent. Are you refreshing the camper order tracker as much as I am every two weeks haha!

 

I have it down to about 3 times a day nowMy RTT is going on my kids truck. We will probably go over Hwy 20 once it opens and go somewhere Memorial Day then I’m tearing everything out and handing it down.

 

I pick up my Lone Peak on Thurs

 

What order number are you? Congrats!!

 

Haven't been here in a while... any meetups in Western WA from King County to Skagit County?

 

Good morning, all. Does anyone have a recommendation for a shop that can rebuild shocks in the Wenatchee or Snohomish area? I need a rebuild and retune.

 

3332, ordered back in Feb. Install went great!

 

who were the Taco and 4Runner guys meeting at North Bend Safeway today? I actually see a lot of bro's meeting up there. It's a popular spot to meet before heading out.

 

Wasn’t me but I wish it was! One of my groups that’s our last stop for essentials before we go. It seems a popular rally point for sure last time we had 2 other rigs stop and ask if we were in groups going other places.

 

SOS

As a demonstration of the natural instinct of self-preservation (or lack thereof), I managed to get myself majorly stuck in deep wet snow while out solo. After lots of swearing, winching, a back strain, Garmin SOS, & a ride with the sheriff I was able to get off the mountain. My truck was unable to get this fate.

I'll cut the dramatics and get to the point... My truck remains stuck up in snow in NE Ferry County. I am working with WORN to get a group organized to go up this Saturday and retrieve it. I'm posting here in case anyone has a free weekend + is down for the challenge & required road trip.

 

I’ll talk to my wife. It’s her Birthday/Mothers Day weekend. I got stuck in Chewella 25 miles in and had a wire get ripped out of my fuel pump plug on Grouse Mt. above Orient so I know how helpless it feels. I’ll do everything I can to help you.

 

Hopefully it doesn’t get stripped. Trail cams on nearby trees??

 

Theres about a mile of deep wet snow in either direction of where I'm at, so I'm hoping that plus the remoteness serve as a good enough deterrent.

 

We got@bjohn041 out with a key, Swiss Army knife, shovel and one traction board.

 

Suspect on the single traction board.... : )

 

No damage/break in shenanigans?

 

None
