Oregon and Washington BS thread

When my dad was looking we went to dwane layne in everett, they seemed good at the time.

 

Okay cool thanks man. Add that place to the list.
How do you like the new setup in the rear so far?

 

Saw this truck today at survivor mud run. Anyone?

 

I love it! Shocks still need to be broken but I can already tell a huge improvement. Never knew how frappe bilsteins were until I went to kings haha

 

CLICK ME YOU MONGOLS

 

Thats good dude! Oh i bet they are a huge improvement.

 

Question for you guys with kids and a DC...so my wife and I are expecting, what is the room like with a car seat in the rear seat? Do the front seats need to scooted up, is there enough room in the front in the back? Doesn't seem like there will be enough room without having to have your knees in the dash. ( I'm 6'2, wife is 5'8)

 

Well, I sold my 01 extra cab last week and picked up an 05 TRD Sport over the weekend. It was an older lady's truck (mid 80's) that hasn't been able to drive for a little while thus it just rolled over 101k miles. It's been maintained meticulously and other than a few minor scratched is essentially in new condition. It even had the original battery, which failed the night I bought it, but that only further proves it's been sitting for a while. I had been trying to get something a little newer than this, but I saved big $$$ so I can afford to order a lift, wheels, and tires immediately.

 

Nice score. I just 100000 on my 05 few months back.

 

My kids are 12yo and 9yo, no issues with seats but I am in an '03 DCSB. Not sure about the new DCs with air and climate zones, etc.

One would assume that the rear facing car seat is on the passenger side with the car seat base attached to the LATCH system (for ease of use).
Best way to find out is to take your planned car seat system to various models and do a test fit(s).

 

It was a good weekend. For those that were invited and couldn't make it, there will be a next time, but 400 miles and three camps in three days required a pedal to the metal pace that at times felt more like work than play. Next time we won't throw the lasso so wide, and maybe some of you dudes can make it for the next one.

 

^^

did you hit up that crash site?

 

We didn't really have enough time,(it is close to the NV border) plus it was smokin' hot down in the desert and everyone wanted to get back into the woods.

 

My daughter is 6, turning 7 in August, and I have had the truck since she was newborn with no issues. Granted, I'm 5'6" and my daughter's mom is about 5'8"-ish and we've had plenty of room.

 

Golden Valley Brewery, tonight 6:30, informal Tacoma owners meetup. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/greater-portland-area-meet-thread.363783/

 

Tomorrow night!

We are going to start doing this the first Wednesday of every month.

 

oops, my bad, thanks Spoon!

 

So who wants bad news? Ok so I've put 700 miles on my LCE Pro Clutch. Still chatters like a bitch. Still sucks. SO. I called LCE to give them an update (they've been super helpful). They said that my clutch should not chatter like that at all. Its not a freaking crazy dual comp racing clutch. I was worried it was my flywheel. O'reilys took two passes off of it because it was warped and even then a small amount was left untouched. What they failed to do though is realize its a *stepped* flywheel. That means they needed to pull the dowels and grind down where the pressure plate bolts to the flywheel. The step is supposed to be 20,000 of an inch difference. Well they ended up taking 20,000 of an inch off only the main flywheel surface. So now I have double the recommended distance. Apparantly that's really bad and can burn up my clutch and is the cause for my problems. So I'm going to need to buy a new OEM flywheel since I don't want to eff with this one anymore. This sucks, the clutch guys suggested I do it before Moab and think I should go raise hell at O'reileys. Opinions? Thoughts?

 

Quit fucking around and do it right. Then go beat on your truck until you are old and fat and forget about it. Mine has been in there for ~7 years or so. Not one problem.

Yeah I'm replacing it now. But with OEM or possibly something heavier. I definitely don't want a light weight one.
