NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I am planning to stop off to see Sean and Natasha on my way down to give them some parts from my matrix to put on their matrix.

 

Id love to go but with my truck not being in top shape and actually being "totaled" I'm gonna have to sit out this one. Hopefully she'll be fixed by the next run..

 

Not an excuse. Tahuya is an easy run. In case you missed it, there is the bet going for a few of us that first one to put it in 4hi or get stuck has to buy the first round

 

hmmmm well if someone could help me tighten up my bumper then I would probably be down to go. It rattles like crazy and I have a feeling i would end up being on top of it

 

What happened to the truck???

 

You know where I live and I haven't packed my tools up yet. Busy tomorrow?

 

I may or may not have been paying attention for a whole 2 seconds and rear ended someone at about 50mph +/-.. 5 cars involved. Insurance isn't covering it due to my lovely crazy ex (a whole other story) so I have to fix it out of pocket. The truck is technically totaled due to frame damage but I'm still driving it. Hopefully will get it fixed with my tax return. The whole story and pics are on my build thread. Can barely tell its wrecked though.

 

I work tomorrow I may get one of my friends to help me tonight if they are around. I have a couple out lights too that I was gonna have them look at. Im not totally sure if the bumper can be tightened up though since its bent so much.

 

Spotted LAoffroadin going by seatac a little bit ago

Ouch. That ain't gonna just rub out.

 

Good project truck. Only 2500 for it

 

Well, the more the merrier for this trip!!

I'm anxious for this 2WD challenge. Does 2Lo count???

 

Unless you have some sort of bypass to be able to go into low without being in 4hi, it won't go to 2 lo. Also that won't help you when it is your truck tied to a tree.

 

I just got a good look at my vessel forecast at work; and looks like I'll definitely be able to go. There's also a very high chance that I'll get off work early enough to go home and get some sleep; then caravan down with some of you north-enders.

I saw the locker anytime, but this is so much cooler. I'm curious about doing it sometime

 

I've got all the bits for it, just need to do it. Since I have the manual transmission it will be so helpful for certain things.

 

I may have to raid my work van for pieces and parts for this. Like everybody else in that thread that did it, I have trailers and lo range with turning ability would be nice.

 

So is there an unofficial official meet-for-caravan time/location for the Olympia area people? I saw a "Costco for gas" referenced...I might need to gas up too.
