Oregon and Washington BS thread

the only one that was built for 96-00 grill setup. the holes and lightbar sit back farther, so the lightbar got in my way when installing and pushed up against my grill+headlights. light holes also were under my grill.

 

Much better haha

That's the one that's been floating around from ACRO. The problem is that it's from a non-locked FJC, and most FJCs are factory locked. I think it works for a lot of other vehicles, though - might fit 4Rs and Tacos?

Ben?


FYI I also did some minor research on Yukon vs. ARB, and despite a video made by ARB showing ARB is better , I'm thinking either type of locker is fine. I believe Yukon also does lifetime warranty.

 

That's a really good deal for the complete set. But, if I were to re-gear I would want to throw in lockers front and back. I just priced out some steel, and will be goin to B-Ham next weekend to hopefully start fab'ing some stuff. Sadly, won't be going to the warn training after all.

 

You are correct on all counts.

 

I have a Bushmaster XM15A2 for sale if anyone is interested. No toys with it just the gun with iron sights. Looking for $700 ish OBO. Must be Oregon resident with CCW. Shoots great, clean and always lubed properly. Going to post it on NW fire arms tomorrow.

Edit: fully willing to trade for a decent shot gun and or toyota/4x4 stuff. WA residents could be possible but we would have to go through some hoops

 

Alright, leaving as soon as I wake up in the morning.... guys, who wants to go to Buffalo Wild Wings off of Canyon for a few beers tommorow night? Derek, Zac, send me your numbers again. I guess we can't hit a real bar since someone is UNDERAGE! LOL I'm aiming to be in town around 6-7pm, but probably closer to 8, and out on the prowl by 9.

 

Saw Tim tonight!! Tim, Arco gas isnt the way to go I was in my friend car when i saw your truck parked, getting gas

 

if i start bs'ing in here can I be added to the OP?

 

Ugh, this is sad. I have to pack extra clothes, just for oregon, because its cold in Astoria, LMFAO.

 

Do you guys really believe that fuel between major gas stations is different?

It's not that cold!

 

Get back to me when you have solid evidence of gas from different companies being "crap".

 

pretty sure the additives from company vary.

 

That they do, but I've been searching all morning for a scientific study proving that putting a certain brand of gas in your car will "destroy" your engine or fuel line. I haven't found anything yet.


Additives are just that, additives. To me, it's nothing more than a gimmick to make people feel better about what they're putting in their car even though it probably isn't making much of a difference

Scientific, not Yahoo Answers.

People seem to make assumptions up about Arco. I don't understand why.



"Oh it's cheaper, IT'LL DESTROY YOUR CAR!"


My dad had a 1990 Nissan Hardbody with 280,000 miles that was run on Arco for 75% of it's life. It never had any engine issues or blocked fuel lines or anything. The only thing that ever happened to it was the clutch had to be replaced at 210,000 miles, and I'm pretty sure that didn't have anything to do with the gasoline.

 

the gas is all the same from one station to the next. the difference is the additives that are put in. shell puts in one blend, chevron/texaco put in a different blend, BP/Arco use something else.

What i found from my own personal experience with my first car was that with Arco & Circle K would cause my car to run like shit, especially when it was raining out. first tank of gas i put in of shell immediately cause the car to run better, so i never went back to Arco or Circle K.

 

a couple years ago, 76/connoco phillips gas had an additive in it that was causing motors to sieze up. I still avoid those fuel stations as well

 

Well I'll get back to you guys when my engine explodes.

 

Gas from one station to the next is NOT the same. I've had multiple gas stations in the past have pure crap gas that is more than likely due to water in their tanks that got stirred up. I will never buy from a 'po-dunk' gas station again. My old truck wouldn't run on it, I had to dilute it with some newer gas and octane booster.

Now as for companies, its all down to the additives, but the arguement is stations, not companies.

 

I know what I'm listening to on the long drive
