Oregon and Washington BS thread

Job security? lol

 

I've posted here before but gonna really try and keep up with this forum and this thread specifically (mostly because I dont have a lot of knowledge to offer with Tacomas). But hopefully we'll see each other on the road sometime.

Couple updated pics of my 4runner

New LED fog and spot lights

Building the rear bumper (big thanks to Littlebro 5!! )

Bumper mostly done (still need to add tire carrier, weld on the cross beam from the 1/4 panel to the frame, plate it in between tubes, and a few more small things)



Hope to see you guys around!

 

Sounds good to me!

I think I'm ready for some more electrical mods soon anyhow.

 

So, I thought I would post up a couple pictures of the grill job my friend and I did for his 89 last night. Good way to kill a twelve rack. Haha.

(pictures are a little blurry)





Bottle caps worked as washers to remount the Toyota emblem.

 

Found this little gem of a swimming hole outside of Cherry Grove yesterday. Lee Falls. Its about a 2-2.5 mile walk past where the road is gated. Pedestrian traffic is ok, whoever runs the place just wants to keep unauthorized vehicles out. Rumor and research has that there is a bigger, more traditional waterfall a few miles upstream. About half way up the road, its gated with a "tampering with this facility is a federal offense" sign. What I heard is you just hit the river instead of the road though. Idk, might have a few pics of that waterfall in a week or so.

 

A Little butthurt All-Pro leafs are on back-order for 10 days or do...

 

I've heard of people parking down at the head having their cars vandalized by locals, you run into anything like that? Been meaning to check this hike out.

 

I wouldn't be surprised. Haven't heard of that, but I've heard a number of stories about the Cherry Grove area. One of those weird, random rural communities that looks like its main income is welfare. I took my dirtbike all the way to the falls so I didn't have to worry about that. My buddy parked his truck and nobody screwed with it while we where down there.

 

Anyone near the Portland Area have an extended rear brake line??

 

That would be a lot of swings

Pretty much. Yes

 

Why the major slow down in here lately?

 

Mitch did you end up getting a second vehicle yet?

 

Not yet. And it sucks. We are putting almost 100 miles a day now on the truck. Filling up every 3 days is pissing me off.

 

I'm picking up Eric's new hi lift bed mounts. $50 for the seat. Go get some!

 

Nice. I saw his Facebook post on those.

 

I couldn't imagine sharing a vehicle, and then having to fill it every 3 days with a 100miles a day. Ouch. find anything you like yet?

 

Yeah it blows. We liked the Mazda CX-5, and will be looking at the Ford Escape after the wedding

 

the 2013 looks ugly



didnt it have a recall already?

 

Ford Escape was getting a recall to the level of "do not move it, we will come pick it up"
Apparently they were worried of the thing catching fire on the way back to the dealership!

 

2012 and under for you mitch!
