NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I'd go with a homemade fancy dual mount cut with bolt cutters and grinded with a dremel. I need to invest in a proper grinder...

 

Now I can see behind me because my spare tire was blocking my view

 

You talking angle grinder? Cause I have one you could probably borrow if you wanna do a mod day. I still need to finish doing my fog lights and Ill just use your truck as reference

Also when exactly is the next meet? I keep hearing tahuya next weekend?

 

I'm gonna end up buying one. But if you need a hand let me know

 

Stopped by Mule Outfitters today, picked up some maxtrax's and a trasharoo. They got a pretty nice setup there and fun people to talk to.

 

Nice! I was there Wednesday, still waiting to hear back on a quote for the TC race kit.

 

Thats just about everyone, I also give people about a week then I start calling back. Did you get a quote from them on gears & lockers by chance?

 

No I'm going through ECGS. They told me $3775 with f/r arb's and 4.88 gears before core return. Add about $60-$80 for the oil and solid spacer. I'll probably order within the next week for that.

 

Yeah, ECGS seems a bit tough to beat for gears & lockers.

 

Yup. It's just a straight swap basically too

 

I was also there today. Picked up a set of MaxTrax's too -- you must of been the one that picked up the drab green ones that Dana was telling me about. That was my first time there, seems like a real good bunch of people, I'll be definitely be back.

 

Haha, yep that was us.

 

Anyone wrenching tomorrow? I need to change my serpentine belt and see about the possibility of swapping magnetic clutch pulleys for my ac pump. Not that my driveway isnt capable of such mechanics, just seeing if someone else was tinkering around and wanted to drink some brews and bs. Probably a 30-60min job for me.

 

I would help but I'm in Kirkland house sitting.

 

I have a couple of minor things to install. Not really ugent, but if you need company lmk.

 

Ok when is the tillamook meet? I'm trying to plan ahead for that and coordinate some other things too in the middle of March

And are you guys doing a tahuya (I think it's spelled) run next weekend?

 

Either the weekend of the 18th or 25th, have to look at my work schedule

 

I have some wrenching to do, but I don't really want to do it...damn German engineering. Thermostat on a VW Jetta and either fixing or replacing part of the lines.

 

Heading to Snoqualmie tomorrow to go tubing. Should be fun. We'll see how well the almost 3yo likes it.
