NW WA Meet / BS Thread

How much?? And where?

 

$900, found it on CL down in Sumner.

 

Nice find, it's already looking good behind the runner

 

Awsome find! I've been looking for one for years. Is it converted to 12v?

 

Nice Joe!
Had a good day myself, went back up to one of my favorite spots

 

That thing looks so bad ass.

 

@BoatRacer and @velillen
I picked up my MP9 from the Monroe WAC show about 3 or 4 years ago. It was my first and so far only time going to a gun show, and happily enough, my CPL showed up a day or 2 before going. There were many tables that were non gun, like knives and other crap. There were also a few stands that were clothes, but were related to guns, 2nd amendment, that type of thing. It was a pretty weak show for a Saturday.

@GSPRunner you have probably already looked underneath your trailer, but on my utility trailer, it was SUA and I swapped it around to SOA. Took me maybe an hour. Gave me probably about 3-4" lift, which meant space to easily clear larger tires that I probably won't get. If you do this, be ready to get some mud flaps to hang on the wheel covers. Also with lift, a tongue jack usually needs more extension to reach the ground. Amazon has one that fits most jacks and has a pin on it. Link

$17 CURT 28274 Trailer Jack Foot, Fits 2" Diameter Tube, Supports 2000 lbs, 8-1/2-In Height

here. I'm probably going to get one of those for myself soon.

@northwesttaco nice pic. I'll have to try to get out with you sometime and see how long I can keep up to see some of the sights with you.

 

Thanks! It's in pretty nice shape. I've got plans for it but I wouldn't hesitate it to drag it wherever as it is now

Yep, 12v.

Thanks Zach, a SOA flip is planned and I will be matching my SCS F5s and 33" STMaxx

 

Where's that at? Sweet pic

 

Thanks!

Thanks! Up in Darrington at the top of FS 24

 

Nice project! Been on my list to do the same for awhile. Just to many other projects taking my time and money right now.

@Smar969905 the Monroe show has always been weak. Just not the crowds so vendors don't bother traveling that far. Puyuallup is better but not overly worth it unless you just want to kill time on a weekend these days. Used to be able to go and get good deals. Now the good deals are usually done Friday night/Saturday morning between vendors so the public never sees them. Or so I'm told by the dealer I use that used to do the shows.

 

Any progress on the fj?

 

Only reason for Monroe was because I was living in Lake great the time, so puyallup was a long drive

 

I've never been in that area. I need to start exploring the north side more. Been to Walker, that's about it.

 

It's funny what LT will do to your mind

 

so many toys to want and can't get them all! ugh. I'm starting to play different music on guitar(country) and pulled out my old Telecaster and now I want a Fender Twin Reverb amp. I already have two tube amps though and no space! Not making much progress on saving for regear and 35's. Maybe I should just stop putting money into an IFS truck.

 

Nothing terribly exciting. Front and rear axle fully rebuilt and painted. Frame is almost ready to go get blasted and powder coated. Previous owner oxy welded crap on so sucks having to cut it off. Which I've had to cut lots of the old exhaust hangers, the t-case cross member mount, front leaf spring hangers, and quite a few extra bits used for support on bolted on thing like the power steering. Then welding old holes I don't need closed. So lots of crap work as I like to call it.

I did get a new transmission though. A four speed h42 that I'm just putting new gasket and seals in and repainting.

Working 12s during the week on a 4am to 4pm schedule so really don't feel like doing much after work. Then weekends have been busy so finding time has mostly been an hour here and an hour there.

 

Post some progress pictures...

 

Trying to find a relatively easy place to take my wife and 3yo camping for the first time.
- As close to everett as possible
- Good view, overlooking something or on a stream/lake etc
- Could be an established camp site

Thanks!

Ive got her on board to get a RTT (YEESSSSSSS) so I want this trip to be fun so she wants to go again, but still show how a RTT would make it that much better heh heh

And if this goes well, then it will be time to debate the SMittybuilt RTT, TuffStuff with annex, or CVT....decision decisions....and no more money heh heh

 

Could go up to Darrington to where I was the other day? Although its supposed to rain for the next week here... Also Beckler road off hwy 2 in Skykomish has a bunch of spots on the river.
