Oregon and Washington BS thread

I still have those Chevy springs, and you know that getting more is easy

I bought the ATO version, which is similar. I'm not keen on why Eric welded the bolt in, and wondering how he made the nut stay put - guessing it's welded as well. The reason I don't like it is that over time, the jack bangs around and dulls the bolt threading, making the wing nut harder to get on.
With the ATO version, you can replace the bolt whenever. However, the ATO was $25 more, and I think Eric's CB mount took more effort to build than either of these Just my opinion.
On mine, the mount itself keeps really well, the only thing making noise is the jack, moreso as the wing nuts loosen themselves. They only loosen a little bit, just enough to make noise on bumpy roads, so no worries of things falling off too easy. Wing nuts are also just wide enough that the I-beam shape of the jack rail prevents it from really turning.
In any case, having one of these solutions is mandatory I think!

Just got the info in the mail today. Holy Mother Moses, registered mail is a crazy process. Need to seal all seams, sign some forms, and a guy stamps EVERYWHERE on the envelope before putting things in a locked safe.


Hey, also think I found a duplex. Freaking far south, so drive to work would be 20 min, but it's looking hella good.

 

Anyone interested in a 48" Hi Lift? I'm getting rid of mine and it's never been used.

 

Hmmm, interested. Can you PM me price and details (i.e. cast-steel, all-cast, Xtreme, accessories etc.)?

 

I'll take some pics and pm you.

 

I'm interested.

Ha, for an additional 20k the truck can come with it.

 

Jonnie doesn't need it, but I do.

 

How about you read.... genius

 

For the truck?

 

You want the lt kit? Its off the truck if you do. Just need to re powder coat it.

 

Following up on that post about Lee's Falls. This one is a few miles upstream from it. Haines Falls. The road up to it is gated, so you have to get in the river and hike to reach it.




Since I only had my zoom lens on hand, camera phone pic to get everything in the frame:

 

doesn't look like i will have my sliders for the TSF meet.

 

Looks like a great hike. My boss was talking about another place that's near Multnomah falls, just to the east of it. He says you hike through some water through this canyon before you get to a cove with a waterfall. Only prob is that they might have a timber slide that prevents you from hiking it....

There's another epic hike I went on, wish I knew the place... Down by Sweet Home, you hike across downed logs, do a few river crossings, hike through woods and do a little scrabbling, and finally get to the top of a hill where there's a lake with an island in the middle. It's 12 miles in, 12 miles out. I'm typically a 10 miles round trip guy, so it kicked my butt hiking among a bunch of seasoned guys, but it was one of the best hikes I've ever been on.

I'd be really interested in getting together with a group to go do some day hikes every now and then. Sometimes we spend too much time cooped in the trucks!

Do we have any build days coming up??

Possible Garage - beaverton/hillsboro/portland area?

 

Well ladies and gentleman of my TW friends in less then 30 hours I'm getting married. Which means I'm less the. 72 hours from Hawaii.

For those who are/have been married. Any advice for the last 24 hours? Parents are starting to drive me nuts

 

I've got a garage. But limited tools

 

eh we would been a full garage setup...

But as far as the wedding goes - party hard the last 24 hours, bang hookers. Your nuts will be in between a vise for life. And everytime you get lippy she will tighten them ever so slightly by the time your 50 they will be the size or cranberries and have gone numb

That being said! CONGRATS
