NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I'm going to take off I think. I'll talk to the boss Monday about it though. Do you want to start fairly early? 9ish maybe? I could bring Levi up, but not sure how wrenching and watching the kid would work out. Gotta love 16mo kids

 

Shoot, I'll be in Everett. I can stop by on my way Back to Tacoma that day in the late Afternoon.

 

Might want to make that early afternoon. I90 is down to 1 lane, going to make all of Seattle and Bellevue hell. I might take the back way up there.

 

Bugger

 

Yep. You jet troops don't watch the news, do you?

 

Izzy, I have a mod day at my place Aug 2. It may be a bit longer of a drive though since I am near Spokane, WA, about 480 km east.

Of the Bellingham guys, Jake (Jeverich on here) is gone until sometime in September fishing in Alaska. The other guy up there, I can't remember his name on here, but as I recall, he has some mechanical knowledge and access to tools.

 

I was also planning on taking Friday off and want to remove my sway bar. I have all the tools I just need a driveway or garage or other flat surface to work on.

 

^ do it. I took mine off a long time ago and have had zero issues. Very easy to do too.

 

I need to remove mine again.

 

Do all tacoma's come with one? Haven't seen one on mine by the rear axle

 

you should have one up front

 

Which Friday do you have in mind? This coming one? I still need to place the order for the kit. Just wanted to be sure here that I am getting the right one.

 

I got you covered, JDAM. Come on by Friday. I'll PM you my address tonight when I get back into town.

 

Yeah that's like a 6 hour drive for me

Hopefully I can co ordinate with penguin.

 

lol yes its this coming Friday the 25th we are talking about meeting up. We'll do that regardless. I have an OME lift as well. If this Friday doesn't work for you we could schedule another one. Only thing for me personally is that starting this coming weekend I have 3 trips in 4 weekends so I might not be available but others might. We would want a spring compressor which is NP or maybe Ben wants to show us his cool way of doing them on the truck.

 

Izzy, I don't think you can get the kit shipped to you in a week, just an fyi.

 

i am gonna be off at 12 Pm this Friday so i can make it by 2 Pm....is that too late?

Which OME should i order...keeping in mind a winch mount in the front. should i get the 886 heavy coils and do i need to get them to assemble front shocks and coils with bushing? that another $100.

gonna place the order today and see what shakes.

 

So when I ordered my OME lift it came within 2 days. The US distributor is located in Renton. If they can deliver and you are comfortable with having it sent to my house that is not a problem with me.

$100 isn't bad. I paid $70 locally but the guys seem to do it for free one way or another.

I have a winch (synthetic line), front bumper, sliders and full armor so 886s work well. If you are going with just a winch I would consider 885s. If you're putting on a bumper and some armor, 886s. Are you getting UCAs? One last thing, we will want to get you an alignment. I would suggest it and we can help you find one here in town if you want. I installed my front and went to see about getting my rear installed. They wanted $500 just for rear. I went home and whipped it out in a couple hours with some brews.

2pm is just fine.

 

For the trail run next weekend I think my buddy wants to go in his 87 4-runner. He doesn't have a lift but has 33's and tubbed out wheel wells, sliders, and front/rear tube bumpers.

 

Yeah for sure, he will be good. 4x4 id assume? And is he camping?
