NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Some jackass, or jackass kid, smeared a gnarly snot ball across most of my passenger door. I am so pissed off right now! My husband is going to wash my truck for me tomorrow though, bless his heart...

 

Took the wife up to manastash for her first trail run letting her drive

 

Awsome shots! I let my wife drive down fortune creek.

 

I don't know about you guys but I'm a sucker for ARB gear. Overprised tire repair kit? Yes please.

 

Last time we went up there she drove the fs road out. She's never really been on trails or fs roads... city girl so it was nice to see her have fun doing it this weekend. There was a few tricky spots for a first timer, and she only hit 1 tree and a pretty a good pin strip down the passenger side.

 

Flexy...

Maybe sometime we can meet up on a trail and I'll bring my wife to drive too. I'd like to get her out on some actual trails to understand that our truck isn't a mall crawling pavement princess.

 

For sure. Gotta start them on something easy and fun but challenging at the same time so they don't get bored.

 

That last photo: did it have a super tight S turn and an off camber downhill turn?
If so, I did that one with 40mph winds and sketchy to say the least...

 

Yeah and it's really steep. We needed up lifting the driver side rear tire and got a bit tippy.

 

Took care of my y-pipe reroute/high clearance today. CATs are gone now. I bought some cheep LT headers on eBay and it came with the y-pipe but was for 2wd so lengthened it to work. Still running the O2 sensors. Also reinforced a few of the LCA alignment tabs. Ran out of time for the rear shock relocation. Should be done next weekend.

Got distracted a few times by drift car sessions and all around bull shittin. My fab buddy has a 1900lb AE86 with a 400SBC shoved in it. 380ish whp 420+ ft/lb tq. He's also working on a buddies lexus IS300 with a LS1 swapped in it from a corvette.

One pic of exhaust work and said drift car. No pic of is300

 

Anyone see the 4runner rolled over in Wilkinson? Looking for people to aid in the recovery. Don't have any more info.

 

Where is that?

 

I have quite a bit of rear flex (from the prior owner), so you can see the same area. (shitty flip phone movie)

 

Nice, you hit that super fast. From the video i think it's the same spot, it's the only real hard part of that trail beside the super tight fitting areas. When did you run it?

 

I'm trying to get my gf to drive on an easy trail but so far she has declined. I'm totally fine with her driving my truck and she's taken it by herself at times. Sometimes she drives home from the trails if I'm not looking so good on the little breathalyzer I have in the cab. lol Especially since someone remove my tag on the rear license plate and it says 2014 right now!

 

I have to be careful about the girlfriend in the truck. Wifey gets jealous...

 

Right next to Buckley.

 

Oh ya and she asked me not to wear my gun/iwb holster around him. Apparently the creaking sound of a G20 in a Mtac is almost identical to the shitting sound a 5 day old makes, diaper checks are about to drop off drastically

 

2014 summer time, I think that was the trip where the FJ sheered off two valve stems in really bad places to change a tire.

 

Holy shit my exhaust is loud now. Anything over 3000rpm and on the throttle, it's rasps. Need to figure something out to quiet it down now all the cats are gone.
