Oregon and Washington BS thread

have any of you ever been through La Dee flats out in clackamas? How is it? Im planning on taking a day trip out to mt.hood later this week.

Planning on going to timothy lake or roaring river to do a little swimming/picnic. I happened to find La Dee flats while i was looking for stuff to do around mt.hood and was just wondering if anyone has been out there before and can give me a little info on whats there.

 

Beautiful! Checked online yesterday and saw my brother and I drew successful for 3 pt+ elk this year @ Saddle Mtn Unit

 

Sweet. I'm flinging sharp sticks at them again this year. I don't know why I even do it. 3 years of tag sammich.

 

Finally figured it out.... kinda

Chickenmunga

 

I am the man. I am the mystery.

 

Les Schwab refused to do an alignment because I welded a crack on my frame...

 

Thanks, I'll have to give them a call.

Anyone dealt with fixing fatigue in body panels? The floor near one of the front body mounts is cracked. Not quite sure how to go about fixing that...

 

Truck jumping problems...

 

Yea...I don't do that anymore haha

 

I had the same issue before I got a cage. Right around the front cab mounts. I filled the cracks with kitty hair, and then in the cab laid down a few layers of carbon/kevlar on the floors to stiffen it up. Then I did a layer of sound deadner and foam. It's held up for years. The cage helps I'm sure...

 

That really worked?! I've never heard of that solution. I guess all it needs is a little extra support.

Ideally I would find a rolled yota that I could get a straight frame from. I'm thinking it would be nice to have a lower portion of totalled cab to go full 45acp on and cut the floor out. Do a proper tube frame floor with a cage tied into it. I could get all that done on that cab then swap my cab over to it. It would really cut down on the down time for my pickup.

Fuuuuck I hope the Stimson gig turns into a permanent spot. Really need to start raking in some money I can depend on for awhile haha

 

Oh and...

 

My truck sale is pending

 

Oh?

 

Yea, decided to sell it so I could scale down my finances to start school.

 

You will regret that man. I am keeping my truck, paying for school and modifying it a little at a time.

 

This I already know, but the guy who's buying it is a lurker on TW and I think he will be able to finish the old girl. I am looking for a 90s 4runner if you see any sweetdeals

 

Are you stuck on a 4runner? I think the 90's runners were kind of a black eye for Toyota. The 22RE and 3.slow are both poor engine choices for something that heavy. At least find one with a 3.4! I would strongly suggest an 80 series landcruiser, or even a clean 100 series. They are built much stronger and are just an all around better, more reliable vehicle, all for the same price point as an equal 4runner. Just sayin'- http://bend.craigslist.org/cto/5058813701.html

Or if you are on a tighter budget- http://bend.craigslist.org/cto/5098705443.html

 

There's a beater LC for sale in Fallcity

 

Not stuck on it, I'll look into some LCs
