NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Is that a 4 runner with a 1st gen taco front clip and a Lexus badge??

 

Mod day

 

Yup. TOYOTA wanted $65 for just the front badge. I had an OEM one, but 2 of the 3 clips broke off. I replaced my front steering wheel with a Lexus ES300 and got all the badges free. It just went from there. The rims are also from a Lexus LX450. Same rim size as the FZJ80s. All n all, it's all still TOYOTA!

 

Gotta bail on the ride today guys sorry. Have fun!

 

Bummer wanted to see that rad truck again. I'm on my way out there.

 

Great to see all at the Mod Party at Will's.

 

it was really a great experience for me...my first mod...being there with with all the other people who share the same passion for their Tacos...cant thanks Will and Jesse enough for sticking it out....loved the tumbler!

 

Thanks Izzy! Happy to have another member to the club and happy to help out!

 

Hey guys, does any one know about radio frequencies? I picked up a few units for a good deal and trying to figure out which one I actually want to use. I don't know a whole lot about it but have been trying to do research. I picked up two CB radios that I know I can use but there is also a Humminbird DC-25 VHF unit that I was the nicest of them all. During my research I read that it wasn't technically legal to use the VHF on the road because of the frequencies it uses.

I also read something about being able to contact a CB frequency. Can a VHF unit be used to contact a CB or Ham unit?

 

Yes and no.

CB is in the HF (high frequency) band; believe it's 27 Mhz. to 28 Mhz.

Marine VHF (very high frequency) is 156.000 Mhz. to 158.000 Mhz. (Or somewhere around there).

The HAM 2 Meter band is 144.000 Mhz. to 148.000 Mhz. (VHF)

Your best bet would be to study for your Tech license, and get a HAM setup. For under $200 you can get a solid radio and antenna that'll do anything you need it to.

 

Pictures from camping trip?

 

Look up the Lost Corner Exploration thread where I have the first post. Frankenstein 4runners are welcome to join.

My house, Aug 2. I have a couple things to do to my truck. Of course I may be a bit of a drive for you since I am north of Spokane.

I agree with Brady. What is keeping you slackers from putting up camping/wheeling pics?

 

Just got out of the mountains guys, got an early start. All the other dudes were still in bed when we left so hopefully they make it out ok, I'm sure they will. I'll post some pics later. Awesome time!!

 

How did your tent work out?

 

Tent worked out awesome, I love that thing. Got some great pics parked next to JDAM with out tents all set up that I'll post when I get home.

 

cant wait to see them

 

Saw a silver runner in north bend this morning with tent on top was it one of you guys?

 

Just got home. The tent was very comfortable I think I slept until 9am. I'll start going through my pictures and videos and post them up.

 

That was me. I thought that might have been you. I'm uploading pics now guys, few more min.

 

Alright guys here are a bunch of pics from yesterday. Was a really good time, and the people were really cool. Decent amount of wheeling, a few of us camped up towards the top(was I the only one who got eaten alive by mosquitos?)

The group up at Gallagher Head Lake








Couple with a really nice GX and awesome camp trailer.









Killer Views up top.





Where we camped up top.







@JDAM and I breaking in our new tents.




I believe we were camping behind the Stuart Range



And Mt. Rainier last night.




And again this morning.



Thanks for the good times guys, it was good to meet everyone that I haven't already. Wish I took more wheeling pics, there were some good spots out there!
