Oregon and Washington BS thread

What now?

 

Toyota doesn't make 4.56 gears for the new trucks, aftermarket only (Nitro gears). The new tacoma's with a 4 cylinder came with 4.10's, V-6 got 3.73. I couldn't imagine a daily driver with 33's and 5.29's. That would mean you would be turning 3681 rpm's at 80 mph in 6th gear. Kinda makes it a trailer queen...http://www.grimmjeeper.com/gears.html

 

Why can't anybody ever get the weather right?!?!!?!

 

Welcome to Oregon. The news organizations try to up their ratings by telling everyone a ton of snow is coming. And then like stuck up high school GF - they leave you with blue balls.

Corvallis is all slush. Even at my house that is slightly higher elevation, I stepped out into it and it was all slush underneath the nice white top layer.

Could barely get the Subaru to slip even intentionally! Should have taken the 4Runner. It has very little tread.

 

Sounds like you need more horsepower . We have 2.5 inches on the ground at my house but the roads are just wet. I was hoping for something icing and more snow. It's always fun to watch people drive around in this stuff.

 

Okay, okay. I should have said I could barely make it slip without getting in to boost. I only need the roads to be slightly wet to be completely sideways once I'm in boost.

 

told you, you cant trust the local weather people. Their 98% wrong most of the time.

 

I was trying to take Burnside home (had to try and stop at a cementary) from work and they closed Burnside going West just before the tunnel, I was pissed. There was barely any snow.

So I decided to take Broadway up into the west hills and go over silvan. Holy crap they actually got snow up there. About 2-3" on the ground. That was the first snow my tacoma saw. It did awesome. I used 4wd just to play it safe, but even in 2wd it did amazing. I love this truck

 

$100 who wants them.

 

Curse shipping costs. $130 for two day shipping for my coilover. At least Camburg didn't make me pay sales tax.

 

Take a look in the FJCruiserForums. I know there's one gal there in North Vancouver who needs help putting more stuff together.

 

We get 6 -14" tomorrow. Jelly?

 

yooo for an all wheel drive do we need chains for all four tires our just the front 2???

 

All four is ideal, but if you only have one pair they go on the front.

 

i think its all 4, but not 100% AWD is considered 4x4..so only oe set for sure on the front, but idk...google it lol

 

will just the front meet the standards for crossing mtn passes out your way as im coming there with a friends in 10 days......
i know the require chains at times correct?

 

Yea. Ypu will be fine with a set on the fronts.

 

Seattle is supposed to get pounded tomorrow. Why can't that happen here?!!?!?!

 

It will, 90% chance of snow for pdx tonight, 1-3" accumulation possible. It will be wet snow though, and won't stick around long...
