Idaho BS thread in the PNW

Cool, Opatija looks like a neat little place, and very close to Venice. Any chance you can get to Dubrovnik?

Holiday travel there w/ family should make it nice, too. You'll actually get more real cultural immersion and less of the general summer Eurotrash looniness. Although that can be very fun, too.

I've never been to any of those particular spots. I loved Italy, but only covered central Italy when I was there (only, LOL). My buddy planned to hit Amsterdam years ago, but he got ripped off in Hamburg, and that screwed our schedule, so we had to go straight to Paris after we got it sorted out.

 

I'm jelly. Europe is on my to do list because I want to see where I was born.

 

Cant wait to go back this summer!

 

your not far away, there will be more to come

 

I know Mikes been wanting to do it. maybe the two of you could come up for a run

 

yup forsure. If we started friday morning we could be out by sunday or monday

 

whipsaw looks wonderful. maybe i can try to swing it there?





also, last night, holy fuck

town house never fails to deliver. crazy shit. people said it rivaled halloween, which was fucking nuts

 

naw, was more like 20. ive found i cant really go over that without it getting out of hand and REALLY pissing off the neighbors. They still came by at 12:30 and asked us to mitigate the noise haha. I was too drunk to be effective so i put my room mate in charge of being party police and keeping the noise down.

you are welcome here ben (and the rest of you goons too) you would have had a blast

Andy also came!! That was rad. I drunk texted him at the last party I was at and told him how much I wanted to play beer pong with him and such. so sure enough he came over and stayed for a while! I got him to play kings cup with us, and we played doubles beer pong...and he kicked ass! I was so impressed. I think i got like, one cup, and he just kept getting cup after cup lol.
Here is andy, 35, playing beer pong and drinking with all of us 20 somethings. It was great, i think he enjoyed getting out of the house for a bit too

 

No ginger derps allowed in Canada sorry



I went out last night too. Bars were open till 8am for the mens gold olymipic hockey game. But they cut us off at 2 so we didnt last long

 

he most certainly did haha

 

Tim's is 24 hours lol

It was amazing having beer at 5am lol

 

we dont have a tims in Nelson. Closest one is 45mins away...

I heard some places they were serving alcohol all night.

 

thats my kind of night

 

It would be cool to do it this summer but really too early to begin planning something like this. Has to be mid to late August for me.


From a 2nd gen 8.4

 

oh wow. what were they doing to snap the ring gear like that

 

Its from a 2011 Sport with ~20K miles and Toyota has refused to cover it under warranty. Said it was from excessive abuse.

It did happen on a trail at a place that is not that hardcode. I was not present so I can't say what the specific circumstances were.

 

Wut???

Same rear diff as me...which..actually technically is stronger then yours..

But..2nd gen issues.

 

x2, with monte. that rear end is stronger than yours. how can it be "notoriously weak", its the same toyota axle we all have.

 

I thought I had read about the the 2nd gen housing or cage was capable of flexing enough to cause the ring to pull way from the pinion in certain high stress situations.

8.0 FTW

 

Not the diffs fault

2nd gen issue.


8.4 is stronger
