NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I can't do Sunday the 12th.. Saturday the 11th I would be free though.

So last Sunday, I came out from having a delightful lunch at Red Robin to find this on my hood:



Some intelligent being felt my Tahuya mud was so cool, it deserved "awsome car" engraved on the hood!



In other news, I finally got to use my winch last night!! "Wendy the Winch" is a life saver! I got stuck in my normal spot out towards Darrington. About 10 minutes later.. I was home free!! Well worth the investment!!

 

Hey does anyone have a spare grill they wanna get rid of? Figured this place is as good as any to ask lol

 

Once I'm done with my satoshi I could give you my old satoshi if you want it?

 

I'm glad to see Alan at least had his sunglasses on to protect him at 3 in the morning this time! Good job Alan!

 

X2!

Glad to see Alan is getting a lot of use out of his truck. I'm still busy licking my wounds from the last trip and getting geared up for wheeling this weekend. Got a dent puller last night and going to try that on my door tomorrow.

Also spent half the day getting my exhaust rerouted. Came home to put on the rest of my ATO skids only to find that the location for the crossmember is already being occupied by one of the mounting plates for my slider. Should be an easy workaround once daylight returns.

 

What's this weekend? (doesn't matter I guess I will be gone)
How much for the exhaust reroute? Got a pic?

 

That would be cool. I have mesh and was just gonna do one myself but if you already have one done I'll buy it off you or something

 

Well this weekend Sean was possibly going to Liberty but definitely wheeling. That sounds like a Sunday activity.

In terms of the exhaust reroute, I would almost recommend this to anybody whether you plan to get a full set of skids or not.








Total cost was $200. I got estimates from a couple places, including custom exhaust shop in Kirkland who gave me a $250 estimate. However, after reading reviews and talking to the people working in the shop, I went with Dan Fast in Bellevue and am 100% happy with the results.

I'll post a pic of the installed skids later. I put them on at midnight in the driveway last night . Hope the neighbors weren't bothered by the sound of my impact wrench.

 

I'll probly be cruising around Evans creek on Saturday if anyone wants to join. Just gunna hit up some of the random ass roads around there. The trails where pretty tight and don't wan to take the truck on them just yet but I'm sure I could find something else around there

 

Sunday actually works for me. Are you still planning on going?

 

I'm still potentially interested if we can get a few committed people... I think it would be fun to do. I may be able to do saturday now too actually... I know its last minute, but can we get a list going of people who would be interested in going over, and which day works best?

 

^^where ya guys going?

 

From previous post:

So, I want to gauge some interest - anyone wanting to try out the Liberty area? There are some great trail write-ups on nwjeepn.com. I'm wanting to try out some of the more/most difficult ones. Trail run choice would depend on the number of interested vehicles. I've ran part of Guard Station before and it was awesome.

I want to give this one in particular a try:

If Saturday, I personally can't start until noon. But otherwise I'm open to both days. I was actualy thinking of doing a little scouting on Saturday across Stampede Pass, maybe taking a quick walk through Lester (the ghost town), and ending up in Greenwater. However, I'm always open for a wheeling session. Either day works for me. If it's Saturday I might have to catch up with you guys in the middle somewhere.

 

Arg, that sounds like an awesome day - a bit of time in a truck, a bit of time poking through some old town. If I was up here through the weekend I'd be joining, but I've got some bank stuff to do in Oregon.

 

Sat is now a nogo for me. Possibly sunday...

 

Sunday is a go for me! Lets do this!

 

Ok, who else is in for Sunday? Currently I believe it's myself, penguinscc, and 4runner316

 

Been a while since we've seen you Brandon - you possibly available Saturday?

 

I'm taking the girls up to tiger mountain on saturday to check it out. I don't think there is any trails or anything but I'd like to clear it off my list!
