NW WA Meet / BS Thread

What's up everybody. I'm in the Bonney lake area. Just wondering if you guys still do meets or anything. I see a few Tacos around but I'm not sure if any of them are on here.

 

Sure do! I moved here in January and I've been on 3 wheeling trips, but I missed a mod day and whatnot.

 

Cool. My struck is stock suspension wise and unarmored right now. But I'm getting divorced and looking for a new hobby so Ill try and come out to a meet sometime.

 

You can always ride shotgun with someone until your truck gets some upgrades

 

Sounds awesome! Thanks.

 

I am right there with you I just have a standard prerunner I live in federal way can't wait for the next meet to see other tacos

 

I'll be living in Auburn. Got my place lined up already.

 

I work in Auburn and just moved from there to Bonney Lake

 

How long of a drive is it to the top camping and wheeling trip from Seattle or redmond? Still trying to bribe my wife......

 

This is exactly what i was looking for!!

I was told to come and say hello!

Im running a fab shop in the yakima area, and also the Washington state distributor for Olympus Off Road gear. (they are a up and coming offroad company with many big time sponsors in the colorado area)

I havent really spent much time on here before, had an account a while ago but never really used it, decided it would help me out by getting on here again and making some connections!

We also have a meet coming up on July 21st in Castlerock WA. We will be having a barbeque and stuff starting around 11 AM. There will be a bunch of olympus offroad gear there for sale as well as some give aways!(synthetic winch lines, led bars, pods, shirts, hats, coozies)

We also have a group buy going on right now for some 20in bars. Im not sure if this is the right place to be announcing that, i also posted in the group buy thread.


Anyway, im glad to be back on here!

 

Right enough spot to announce it, glad to have you around. Not sure what I'm doing the 21st but I'd be interested in hearing more

 

Looks like about 3.5 hours. Here are the directions from Seattle: http://goo.gl/maps/15c8C

 

Why don't you look at the beautiful map I made on the info page?

 

hey if you need anything, im like 2-3 minutes away from auburn...

 

Good deal. I'll be up there a month before the wife too.

 

because I like making you sad...heh heh jk

at work my phone signal is hit or miss so there is a better chance for some text from a post to get through rather than loading map and other links.

so... another noob question. The first post in the TSF annual meet and wheel thread is edited with the current dates and info right... I havnt had the chance to read through all 100 pages to get up to speed yet. More importantly it is this up coming weekend correct?

Thanks!

 

Yup. Mike put together all the info. in the first post. It has tons of good info, links to pics, and all the necessary fixins for a great trip! Great map btw, I hadn't checked it out yet

Commence quoting....

 

You don't need to read all the pages because it's an ongoing thread. I try to post the 'current event talk begins here' to give a start to the conversation, but the annual meet (especially this one) gets a lot of talk.

the dates are correct

if you want to come I suggest you get friday off and meet Ben and myself in Olympia at the buttcrack of dawn (I think Ben had us rolling out at 8am). Otherwise, be in North Plains Oregon by 8am on Saturday for the caravan. Talk to J88logue, I think he's the caravan guy.

you need the oregon ohv permit. you need to get it from a store in oregon because mailing takes weeks. It's cheap. If you are coming Friday then you can get one with my caravan.

have cash for camping (its cheap) if you are doing that

have a fire extinguisher. We are currently talking about that in the thread.

 

I thought that I'd stop in and say hi. I bought my Tacoma a couple weeks ago and hopefully I'll be able to go to some of the meets and events. I've been going through the truck and doing maintenance work on it to make it more trail worthy.

On another note, I'm not sure if any of you know anyone or can yourselves, but I'm in need of someone to tune my truck. It has the TRD S/C on it, and as part of my maintenance and upgrades to get it running better I bought the URD 7th injector kit for it. I'd appreciate it if anyone has a direction to point me in for getting it tuned.

A run down on my truck, I'm sure I'm missing somethings too:

2000 Tacoma ext cab SR5 TRD 4x4
3.4L v6
TRD supercharger
TRD stainless steel headers
URD 7th Injector kit
URD 2.1" s/c pulley @ 10.5psi
URD o2 simulator
Short ram intake pipe
Icon/DR coilovers
Camburg UCA's
Bilstein 5125's
Icon leaf springs
Regeared, I'm not sure with what though maybe 4.56?
BFG m/t 33/10.5/15
All Pro Baja bumper
Custom rock sliders
Custom rear tube bumper
Custom exhaust

I'm just getting into the truck world, so all of this is pretty new to me. Before this truck I've had a bunch of cars that I've modded for power, but I'm loving the change so far. I look forward to meeting you guys, and I'm sure I'll be learning a lot from you guys!

 

Truck sounds legit! I've heard a few references to people going to carb connection up in the kirkland or redmond area? I'm interested in doing the same thing - maybe we could get a discount/group rate?
