NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Hmm.. There was a huge shitshow on Expo Portal about these; not sure if this is the same manufacturer.

Tanks were made out of the wrong material, rusted out, one guy got in an accident and the thing fatigued.. All kinds of DOT code got involved.. I think they're also around $5k or so.

In reality, there are very few places that you'll out drive the range of a Tacoma. I find it much more convenient to throw a couple of Jerry cans in my rig.

 

If I were to get a extended range tank id have VMI off road fab one up, they have done them before.

 

I didn't follow his advise. I just shifted from 2 to 1 when in 4wd LO.

This is on the Naches so the ruts/channels were rather deep:

 

What type of Disney event involves hot chicks dropping their panties?!?!

Maybe I should have kids

 

This looks like Tahuya, but I could be mistaken.

 

Means there is only one item remaining...

 

It's Naches. I recognize that massive root ball.

Also, northwesttaco is right on the money with his answer.

...and as far as the picture, the only people eyeballing my truck is a bunch of dudes

 

it was just a super short trail off of a camping site on Tinkham Rd exit on I-90.

 

That is exactly what I was thinking when I saw that picture lol

Can't believe I actually took the time to look that up.

Well. Yeah, I guess I can.

4 days until Moab..

 

nice. so are you going to try and make moab in the spring as well with rest of the Tacoma world group??

 

Hahaha

 

That's what I thought, I've driven that before, the rocks make it an interesting little spot.

 

Not sure yet, heading down to Eastern Oregon, then Moab - have 9 days to play with..

 

im telling you if you ever get the chance to go with that group it's a blast. there are some great guys you get to meet up with.

 

Looks like I need Dakars before the RTT comes.. Where is the best place to go? Wheelers?

 

I would look at Wheelers, Toytec, downsouthmotorsports, etc. Maybe check if they have them in stock first.

Just looked at Wheelers and totally found what looks like good replacement bulbs for reverse lights. Ordered them and will see how they work.

 

Will I need a driveline carrier drop? Wheelers says its recommended but never heard of anyone getting it. And no extended break lines or anything else right? This is what im looking at:

I know ubolts but thats it I believe.

 

I didn't use mine but I have it stashed away just in case. It should come with one or at least mine did when I ordered from downsouthmotorsports. I wouldn't install it unless you pick up some vibrations.

edit: Yes extended brake lines!

and you need bushings from toyota dealership.
