NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Will you be camping at a designated place or going to boondock it and pitch a tent at a wide spot in the trail??

If the former -- what are you thinking and do you have a link?

Thanks! Have fun and wheel safe tomorrow!!!!

How much was shipping quoted for??

 

Nice weather should produce some very nice snow ridden mountain shots, woot

COME

I'm very curious too. If we did this my sliders would have to sit at someone's house or if they would let my Dad swing by and pick em up while I'm down in San Diego at boot camp.

 

Sounds like me

 

When myself and two other guys did BAMF sliders shipped to my work it was $50 per person ($150) for all three sets. Saved each of us roughly $100 in shipping. Under $300 for a set of sliders shipped is a damn good deal if you ask me.

Jerry makes some nice shit and it was ahead of schedule by like a month, which was unexpected.

Just keep in mind it will need to be shipped to a business address to keep the price down.

 

Heading into work for an hour or so... going to try my hardest to make the 10am meet. Ill post again when im getting out of there to let you guys know if ill be making it on time. If not, dont wait for me... ill catch uo at somenpoint as long as you guys are on fs 6830

 

On the air compressor situation, I got the el cheapo harbor freight one for about $70. First and only time I used it was on a Wilkeson trip. I am on factory Dunlop AT20s and I aired down to about 15 psi. I was able to air back up to 40 on all 4 tires but by that point, the motor must have tripped the thermal switch because it wouldn't turn back on. I haven't tried it again since then to find out. If you run larger than factory tires, that little pump won't work for long. Moral of the story, spend the extra money to get a better compressor.

BTW, to all on the trip today, when I came across Snoqualamie pass yesterday, I didn't stop at the summit, but on i90, the road was dry. Looks like going to Stevens pass is your better bet.

 

I would love to get in on this deal, however I want a new gun more than sliders. If the sale was going on after I get a new gun, and I still have money left, I could probably even use my shop as a delivery point since it is a business. Unfortunately, I don't expect to get a gun until after the sale is over. I have the LCA skids on my truck now and I have enjoyed abusing them.

If somebody wants to gift a set of sliders to me, I am onboard for that...but I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for that to happen.

On another note, I am working on a super heavy duty custom front bumper for my truck. I will probably have to go through a professional company to get it all put together. It all depends on my ability to snag a piece of steel from work. It is 3/8" sidewalls on about a 4"x12" structural boxed steel. It probably weighs about 150-200 lbs. I asked the general contractor about it and he said they had a little more structure to finish and if it was still around after that, I could have it. I could mount a winch directly onto this thing, once I drill a few holes. Good thing I have a few drill bits I don't mind burning up.

 

Hungover as shit, but I'll see ya guys in a couple hours. My friend with a Taco who's not on here is coming along as well.

 

Woo, see ya over there

Good thing the snow won't make a bumpy ride

 

I'll be there! Eating now.

 

Might be running a few minutes late. Should get there right around 10 though
