Oregon and Washington BS thread

Tell me that two days from now.

 

Maybe you'll get snow out there but here in Portland it's not looking like anything significant. Anything that falls tonight will be gone by tomorrow afternoon.

 

Same for Corvallis. Temps aren't predicted to get nearly low enough for anything serious to happen.

 

Yes that is my truck. The author of the post is the fabricator. The reason there is a different bumper on there is because he redid it to fit under the headlights cleaner.
His name is Correy.
Anyone wanting bumpers or sliders that doesn't want to pay shipping he lives just across the river.
He will be designing a 2nd gen rear bumper soon so if anyone is interested let me know or respond to his craigslist ad.

ALSO I like the new front bumper design better so if someone wants to buy my bumper let me know! Thanks!

What do you guys have as far as jacks for your trucks? I know the ones that came with the taco is very useless when trying to jack up your truck to change tires. I no longer have mine because umm well...like I mentioned it was useless! It wouldn't even lift my tires off the ground because of the lift/tire size so I need a replacement

 

Hi-lift and a generic aluminum floor jack.

 

When did AWD become 4wd? AWD starts 100% in the back and over time and speed starts to split the power to the front wheels. 4wd is split instantly front and back.

 

west WA anyone lovin the snow?

 

Didn't Gary get his sliders from him? They looked pretty good that day we went to TSF

 

I just about max out a 3 ton depending on my jacking point, so I have a small 4"x4" block that I put on top of the jack's cup to add extra height.


Any of you guys try the Full Sail LTD? I'm having one with dinner and it's mighty fine.

 

And 4wd is selectable, 2HI, 4HI, 4LO. Awd cars have a center diff with clutches in them that you can't control, 4wd rigs have a transfer case that is either chain driven or gear driven and isn't differentiated, it's on or off.

 

Then there's part time 4WD with center differential lockers and the whole world starts

 

I'm pretty sure I had that..really dark I believe?

 

I would say no based on this pic I found (mine is in a bottle, didn't feel like pouring it out)

 

ended up writing a review on that Portlandia show:

 

Finally some decent accumulation! Sucks it'll all be gone by 9AM tomorrow...

 

Tried going up Marys Peak tonight. Not doable anymore. A good foot of slush is all that's left. Figured with no other rigs around, having to winch myself out once was enough of a warning in that nasty stuff.

 

I get to drive to work tomorrow for the first time in the snow. 15 miles. I work at 7 so hopefully nobody will be out. Wish me luck.

 

I'd leave very early. Dumbass's are out in full force tonight. At the rate its coming down right now this could be a decent snow fall. I just wish it wasn't going to be mid 40s for the rest of the week
