NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I have the Goodridge SS Lines from OCTaco, they seem to be marginally more responsive than they were. Could be the fact that I weigh-in @ over 5600lbs.

Might look into EBC pads when I need to switch mine out.

 

that's kind of where I'm at too...I tend to drive aggressively, but it seems to brake fine. I would just like to have a more responsive "bite" when the pedal is pressed.

 

Don't worry, your secret is safe with me..I'm glad I've never done anything stupid in my truck before

 

Hey, I know mutilatedjak was looking for a single 16" rim and I found a set of 2005+ OR rims for sale on CL. I picked them up incase anyone needs one, two or three. Just let me know. $50 ea on CL $25 ea for TW members.

Magic erasers work on everything..... except my memory, a fifth of high grade whiskey works tho! (Hint hint)

 

My brakes still feel like mushy poo, but I slow down better. I'm still greeting used to their shorter stopping distance, I look like a noob when I stop 10 feet ahead of where I intended to.

I had a super short stop yesterday morning on 99 - I thought fo sho I was gonna tap the lady in front of me, but I stopped with MAYBE an inch to spare I had to stomp on them good - spilled my fukin coffee which sucked. Pretty sure me old brakes would have had different (bummer) end results.

My brute force would have left some vampire bites - win for my new brakes.

 

Damn dooood! Good thing you swapped 'em when you did...otherwise it may have been 'bye 'bye Bruteforce rear bumper.

I seriously can't wait for my rear bumper to be done. Gotta protect mah truck.

My commute is basically straight up/down Aurora/99 and sucks donkey dick big time. The road construction is fucked, the double decker bridge is about to fall down (on top of the tunnel project) and other drivers suck. Why the fuck peeps think my safe following distance is a sweet place to merge completely escapes me.

 

^^^ I feel your pain...

 

I'm in puyallup! Hopefully I can join you guys once I get my lift on.

 

Thanks! I just picked up Mikes spare wheel and tire.... Though for 25 bucks that's a damn good deal. I am still debating if I want to rotate only 4 or all five tires. If I do the 5 then I would need the nicer rim... Hmm mm what to do

 

5100lbs...the 500 for the engine doesn't count right now.

 

I was driving a full size ford van for work, roof basket loaded with steel conduit and ladders, full of stuff inside full time. that thing must have weighed in about 9000 lbs. i understand the extra gap, and the fucktards who cut in all the time. I think the van was supposed to have ABS, but i managed to lock up the front tires once or twice on bare dry pavement.

one of the nice things about spokane area is that there really isn't a rush hour or masses of traffic. the problem here are the morons who drive 5-10 under the speed limit for no apparent reason.

 

That was a low-blow Seth....really low

 

I think what you meant was...

 

Once you get the new motor you could toss the old one in the rear and say you have a V12. Wouldn't be different than the ebay fake turbo blow-offs

 

lol, love you guys! Always lookin out for me

I want to get one of these too, once I'm back in action.

Yeah, that'll be badass with that shit hanging off your exhaust!

 

Reroute the exhaust to a stacker and put that on

 

Or you could do it on the cheap:
