Oregon and Washington BS thread

Were waiting.... lol

 

Never been to bww

 

That's a nicely built Taco from the looks of the picture!

Sorry never made it! I brought up the fact that I haven't had dinner yet and was hungry but she ate already Was it just the two of you? Of course Zach didn't make it..he never does!

It's an alright place to go to..lots of t.v. with sport channels. Good atmosphere for a group of you and your friends to go and BS with a drink or two..maybe more if you have a D.D. wing's aren't bad either..great variety of sauce.

 

Oh, so I notice a lot of bumpers in the off-road community look like each other with minor changes.

Here are two fairly new "hybrid style" bumper that resembles one another greatly..personally I'd go with Bruteforce!

joined recently and figured I should come in and say hi since I'm from the PNW

 

Ended up going to MacDuffys or something like that.... let's just say I found me new favorite bar

 

haha unless you me and you take your street bike out when its pissing rain!

Thats a sad story -

Welcome! What city do you live in?

 

Something about tube bumpers just doesn't sit well with me.

 

Got 300 miles to a tank of gas for the first time I can remember yesterday. Corvallis to Bend and back on one tank. Boo-yah!

Went Deschutes County 4x4's Groundhog Rockcrawl Competition/Fundraiser.

 

Nice!

 

Unless I'm mistaken, there's two big design flaws on the Brute Force - the access holes on the sides of the winch area are way too high up for you to access the winch's clutch. Additionally, the fairlead hole is pointing downward, meaning your line is always dragging up against the top of your fairlead.

Famous Fab is overpriced. A full plate ARB costs about the same, hybrid/tube is generally cheaper. Flaws are that there is no view cutout to see the winch line. It might also have the same prob as the Relentless, where it has very little depth, so you can't mount lights in front of the grill very easy.

BF wins for looks and might be sturdier?
Famous has better utility

 

Found some new area to explore yesterday - old powerline roads that aren't used much.
This trail is about 1 mile long. Has a few scrabbly places, mostly off-camber stuff.

(Camera angle is level - truck is not)








Looks like more promise on the horizon?

 

That looks sweet. Maybe the trails Run down aways before they stop. I like!

 

well after a month fighting for a refund from a company, they refunded me for both my items instead of just one. score.

 

Stupid Astoria. My smart phone is little more than a nice paperweight here.

 

astoria blows went thru there as fast as possible yesterday.

Think this could actually sell for $4500 put together??

 

If it runs well and everything is out on. The cage is something I don't trust, I'd offer 2 as is or 4 together.

 

Yea, I was thinking offer 2 as is. The engine better turn over though. If not, no reason to deal with that thing. Get it running and throw it up for a highish price OBO and wheel it 'till it sells...
