NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Did his fender bend because he flexed into it or did he hit something?

 

^^^ Imagine stepping on the end of a rake and having the handle hit you in the head. That's kind of what happened.

 

has anyone been to the Monroe Adventure Park? Would it be fun for a mildly built truck?

I haven't been there when they are doing the events but I have gone back there just to see it. Mainly it is for the redneck hicks of Monroe and surround to go mudding and bring their rock crawlers. Basically that video is all they do. So I guess if you want to rip your truck up through big mud puddles but I am not into it. There is a reason you don't see any trucks without any big dents or massive lifts there

 

That's what I figured. I think I'll be camping in the Gold Bar area this week. Know anything fun to drive around there?

also, what about Reiter ORV park?

 

Reiter is like Walker from what I have heard, I haven't been back there myself.

 

From what I have heard, Reiter is going to give damage.

Brian, aren't there a few trails closer to stevens pass, or even forest service roads?

 

There are a ton of forest service roads but most are either gated and locked, or the main road is open; every spur road has a gate, or is blocked by boulders so there aren't many camp sites/shooting spots now. They used to be all open but they are shutting them down slowly

 

Your best bet would be to go back Beckler road outside of Skykomish. About 20 minutes East of Goldbar but so many more miles of roads. You used to be able to go from Skykomish down to Index on Forest Service roads, until the road washed out in Index

 

Fuck, I just got the new wheels and tires put on, turned in reverse and of course there is rubbing lol.
The good news is I am now driving an offroad truck, not a car-truck. Setup looks badass to me

 

What wheels/tires? and size?

Chop, Chop!





I love posting this shot

 

mine did the same thing , I had them redo the alignment and it fix it. not sure why but fixed it

 

More Caster if rubbing on the cab mount. But it may no be enough. Then...Chop! Chop!

 

Don't want to chop but may have too. I drove it around a bit tonight and noticed on the sharp turns and turns in reverse that on Ly the right side is rubbing, probably just the inner fender towards the rear. Gonna carve it out a little and see if it improves.

 

What exactly is going on in that pic?

 

Cab Mount Chop, Fender And flare cut back about 1", and pinch weld pounded flat. I did choose to reinstall my inner liner and bend the fender "tab" to mount it to(most just remove it). I'm clearing 295/70R17 at full stuff, lock to lock(I think).

 

See this is where I wouldn't mind a meet to see what exactly in person others have done to clear.
Pic of new setup

 

I installed Light Racing UCAs and clocked the upper ball joints forward. This moved my wheel center forward over an inch. My 33s clear the cab mounts. They're 285/70-17 and the wheels have a 4.5" backspace.
