NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I haven't moved to Washington yet...... still waiting for my girl to finish school and get her certs.
Just hanging out in here for now kinda bailed on the Idaho thread seeing how as it's died off and they Wyoming boys that pop in there don't like me.

 

Yeah 4 lo 1-2nd gear on up the mountain and then me and acouple guys took the easier trail back down in 4hi going 15-25 and I stayed in 4 hi until pavement reaching up to about 40 in some potholed fire service roads. There's plenty of more challenging terrain around though, and I think most of us took the easier lines when possible heading up.
I gotta say besides my steering wheel being slightly cocked my truck feels a lot smoother and all around better. It's like the icons literally needed to be pushed hard to break in right.

 

I don't want to push my rig to hard might not worry about it so much when I get some air bumps put in on the front end. To keep it low and not cut the body I needed to sacrifice up travel and that means unless I want to break shit I need to go slow..

But I guess I will end up getting more up travel via and aired down 42" tire.

 

You will have a bunch of chances to get in snow here thats for sure

 

that's kinda why I built the truck so big.

 

You will have to go first haha, I don't think anyone in this thread is sitting up that high. I can't wait to try my tacoma in the snow though

 

You can be the wall breaker.

Did you use the same Axle for the 3link?

 

I love snow wheeling so much I hope you do to. remember it's not about being the biggest is about staying on top

not sure what you're asking I used a drivers drop high pinion dana 60 for the front axle and a 14 bolt with 10.5" ring gear for the rear.

 

Was that the same front axle for the leaf springs? I thought you had a Dana44 for the front leafs

 

What gears are you running?

 

I have a bunch of that, for yard deco, I call it poverty jade

 

I'm back guys!! Ive been in Moab, UT! Wish all of you could have been there! Also bummed I missed out on last weekend but I know there will be more. Since I saw y'all last I did a cab mount chop and got a new high clearance bumper.



I will have plenty of pictures of the trip later (theyre all on my buddys camera ) I do have one teaser on hells revenge though


Also on this trip my alternator went out Got towed by the jeep


It happened right after Fins & Things, I basically did the whole trail running off my battery Good thing it didnt fail on the trail. It was an amazing adventure though, looking forward to catching up with y'all!

 

Hey! Another black yoter, sweet bumper!

 

leaf springs this truck was IFS before I sas'd it and when I did that I went full links in the front.

As of right now I have no lockers and only the rear regeared to 5.38 im waiting on funds to buy locker and gears for the front before I do it.

 

You got something against white yotas.....

 

I'm sorry I miss taking you for somebody else but nice truck anyway.

 

did you do the chop yourself or have someone do it? I wants it chopped on my rig!

 

I need to do this... I'm tired of rubbing. Fenders need a little dremel love as well

 

Also, anyone want to do lunch in SODO tomorrow?

 

I would but I work in Everett
