NW WA Meet / BS Thread

So I'm trackin' you mean Sunday the 18th? Not this Sunday right?

I would be "down" for this. Where are we going?

 

Looking forward to eventually being able to make a meet/wheel..

Think a RTT is next on the list.. Maybe a supercharger.

Hoping to make an expo trip out to Colorado, Ouray - Imogene Pass - kind of sucks, because I won't have time until middle of October. Everything's probably going to be impassable by then.

 

wild idea here Will...bring your new toys to the BBQ meet, and we can install them there. i am pretty sure all of us like to play with new toys, even if it is putting them on somebody else's truck.

Also, since nobody else will make a decision, I will do it. BBQ meet at my house Sunday Aug 18. PM me for an address. Show up around 11. From Auburn/Tacoma/anywhere down that way it is about an hour and 15 to hour and a half drive. From Mount Vernon area (Forster), more like 40-45 min.

if anybody else has anything to install, bring it. i don't have a welder, but I do have all the basic hand tools, and 4 heavy duty ramps (2@ 7", 2@13").

Next questions:

Who is coming? What will you be bringing, both for install and food/drink consumption. Need plates, cups, silverware (only the finest plastic here), food.

I will supply some beer. What is your favorite style of beer? (pale, lager, IPA, amber, red, porter, stout)

 

1. you can practice backing your trailer through my turn around while the others drool over it.
2. you can camp out on my property, and there are areas where i would never know you were even there.
3. just curious, why the pintle hitch compared to a ball mount?
4. at my house, i don't have the best of covered areas in case it rains other than going inside the house. that just means I have to get the fire going really hot to evaporate the rain around us before it makes it down to us.

 

Too bad I will miss this, I have lots of goodies I need to put on also I couple really go for a beer right now... ARG!

 

If you guys have any advice on this, please pitch in

 

Interesting. How old are your BJs? How much for new ones? How long was the tear in the boot there? You'll need to pull that boot back and inspect. It might be OK. You'll have to weigh your options with the answers to questions like these. I like how the write-up said to rotate the springs a little to clear.

I need to check mine...

 

39780 miles on the UCAs
$65 per side for BJs, $9 for the boots

 

BJs.

Sorry; had to chime in...

 

I was expecting it, but more like 4 hours ago. TW seems slow today.

 

Big difference. If the bj looks good, then just relube and new boot. Then rotate the springs.

 

Would a BBQ/install meet be better for everybody on Aug 24 or 25th?

 

Sat is better for me but both will work.

 

Either...or... It helps for a little more of a notice

 

Or you could wait till sept, or have another one in sept

 

Thats Naches!

 

I'm out for this weekend too. Wife has decided that we need to stay home since we haven't had a weekend to ourselves for 2 months.

 

I have been meaning to make it to a meet and would be down soon but I've been working on remodeling our house constantly. I am looking to order a Mid travel soon (Kings if I sell some equipment, Icons if not) and would probably need help installing it.

 

I am trying to clear out the garage and get some cash for future wheeling trips...

If anyone locally is interested let me know!

I am still up in the air about Naches but I am trying to go, and if I can I will be sure to post on gitout.

 

I have to see what my schedule is that weekend, but id be down for either wheelin or bbqin if i can.
