Oregon and Washington BS thread

I don't swim much and I'm doing pretty good navigating my desk chair

My brother just got one of those, seemed alright from the few seconds I saw it. He and his wife are pretty good researchers so I'd imagine it's pretty good. I also saw another at Costco, might be worth a peek.

 

Yeah it was a pretty unexpected opportunity. Might be able to scoot home for a month after I finish the rebuild on the main engine on the boat I'm working on now.. We've got $150k and 10,000 pounds of parts waiting to get swapped out!

 

Is it nap time yet???? I think I need another day to recover from the weekend. Im not ready to move yet.

 

Hoo, so towing gets a lot more expensive with a HC rear bumper and a swingout.

First off, I needed about a 12" drop.
Since I'm dropping that far, I need a sold steel shank, otherwise I lose tow capacity pretty hard.
Now, there's a bunch of stuff on the back of the truck - like that big tire. Gonna need a small extension to clear it.
Now that I have all this nice stuff I need locking pins to prevent theft. Of course, that means buying two (one for extension, one for ball mount).

I could have possibly bought it cheaper online, but the people at Olympic Trailer saved me from a bunch of mistakes, and they are just about the only outfit in town that has good stuff for offroading and towing. Throwing them a bone is certainly worth it.

I'm almost $300 lighter in the wallet

Certainly different than the $40 or so 3" drop setup from Wal-Mart

 

Damn Mike.

Deterring theft blows.

But it saves $$ in the long haul

 

Came back to one of my toolboxes opened up. Some piece of shit helped themselves to a couple hundred dollars worth of my snatch-blocks.

 

Mother fuckers.

Drag em through the streets

 

Wouldn't have even made the news down in California. Didn't feel shit in Tigard. Talk to me when its a 5.0 minimum

 

Where did you go/leave it?? and was it locked???


also..

 

that's weird how tigard and beaverton people say they didn't feel it, yet out in St Helens we(her) felt it...

 

Actually that was the cheaper parts. The drop itself was about $129. You can get some adjustable drops that cost upwards of $500, lol.

I did splurge a bit on the pin locks. I got ones where the locks are set to your truck key (these ones). I've got enough damn keys on this truck as is, lol.

 

If I ever find them. I'll just cruise craiglist for pulleys for awhile. If I see mine...

Parked in front of my place in Corvegas. Unlocked. There isn't a way to lock them without fabbing something up. Used to living back home in the middle of nowhere. Two more terms and I'll be living back out in the sticks!

 

where in the sticks??? FYI...i love the sticks lol

 

FTFY

 

The parent's farm out in Yamhill. Not quite the middle of nowhere, but a hell of a lot better than Corvegas.

 

IMO - corvallis is a shit hole lol

 

It really is. Only reason I'm here is for school. It is a pretty shitty town though.

 

Interesting, I always liked it. Maybe I ran with a different crowd in a different area (north/west).

 

I've truly only been in Corvallis to drink and have sex...

 

on that note. everyone, hows my tacomaworld broskis?

Also, besides like RF..and Armortech, anyone else sell full skids together? Pelfrey sells separate but it is cheaper then RF package price. Im looking at full skids. Front, Mid, tcase, fuel. And narrowing down who makes LCA skids for Allpros LCA.
