Oregon and Washington BS thread

I'm not comparing it to anything. I was just giving you crap. You kind of went off about SC'ing a tacoma.

 

On the note of forced induction, my buddy is finishing his 1st Gen turbo setup...I'll text him and see if I can get some pics. His truck is pretty insane...Camburg LT up front, BOHICA Fab cantilever rear LT.

 

Going to do the clutch while I'm at it. Looking at Marlin's HD clutch kit.

 

That pic is classic, Rob

 

Mitsu died when they killed their last great car...

 

x2 I'm still chuckling at the facial expression.

 

haha what can I say? Wasn't exactly a stress free project.

 

Meet this guy today at the beach in Pacific City. Anyone seen this fj around or done any wheeling with him in the salem area? Pretty badass rig.

 

You're stressing me out leaving that motor hanging that high in the air.

 

Well cared for, well upgraded 240SX's look amazingly sexy.

However, it seems that finding one of those is about as hard as finding an Evo in good condition

 

NICE! Never seen him before..maybe Mike does since he rolls with the FJ Cruiser guys.

On another note..do we have any Slayer fans in here? I just saw one of the funniest video with their song on the "Funny Videos" thread.

 

Don't worry, its on the ground now.

 

so when is the next trip?

 

Nope haven't seen him. There's a ridiculous amount of modded FJs around

 

Thought I'd share some news I've found from different sites this morning



First up, metaltech had some wheels stolen. Keep your eyes open!

FJ55 for sale, needs a bit of work but you name your price

In my own news, I'm in-process of securing our new rental. 3 bed / 2 bath, 2 car garage, 1200 sq ft. Has a tin tool shed in back. Gas heat and central air. New everything - and I do mean that. Kitchen and bathrooms were remodeled, new flooring throughout, new appliances, all paint done as well.

It's located just west of Jones Farm Intel, so I should be biking to work



As a result I need to hurry up and start getting things sold that have been sitting around. Haven't found prices yet, but try shooting me an offer:

-2nd gen rear passenger side fender flare, silver, fits long bed
-brand new 100' of 5/16 WARN steel winch line with hook, never used
-front factory bilstein shocks. no top plate or coil, these are going free
-black TRD cloth mats, like new
-one factory key fob

 

Yeah but no one should pay 6K for that. I would pay MAYBE $2500

 

You're right. But actually I'm lying. I wouldn't pay $1 for that. Buying a car that has been that extensively modified, you are taking a huge risk. Might as well plan for that entire powertrain to take a shit on you. In that case, you might as well find an untouched one with a spun bearing or leaky engine and start from scratch.

 

Are you really thinking of getting rid of your rig after you just got all your long travel stuff done finally? Or would this be in addition?

 

Yes, that would be a good choice.

Only problem with mine is that it has a valve cover oil leak, so it smokes a bit when you shut it off. Never really realized that synthetic oil smells like burning rubber when it's dripped onto an exhaust manifold.

 

Yes, where were you? Lol.
