Oregon and Washington BS thread

Did you find any plate locally? I can pick some up from the metal shop tomorrow if you want.

 

Haha I saw the warning, I thought it was just an ad or I woulda grabbed it for you

 

If he wasn't in Oregon I have some odds and ends that size he could use.

 

I could getthat for him too but alas oregon Hell if it wasnt to big of a piece i coudl get HY80 and HY120 steel too. If its good enough for a sub at whatever the unclassified depth is its good enough for my use

 

Damn! I might even take you up on that offer at some point. That's some tough shit there!

 

Heavy stuff too! Long as it is small I can usually grab some out of the recycle bins at work. the excess cut off stuff that is. So can't promise what physical shape it would be lol.

 

Too bad I won't have time to drop anything off to him. I am heading to Oregon tonight. But, its with Erica and the kid, so I won't have the extra time to do it.

 

Already picked some up locally, there's a small fab shop 8 minutes from work.

 

Well this is amusing

Hi guys

Just saying hi and looking to see if anybody is from or live near or in Klamath Falls, OR?

 

Bummer man!

 

I used them a couple times. They did pretty well for the most part, forgot why I stopped going to them. Ended up going to the one on Hwy 99 and the second time they refused to touch my truck because I don't have sway bars and said it's a safety issue for on road usage. I told them I've had it off for 4+ years (at that time in 2013) with no issues but they still refuse so I said ef them. Canyon one should be fine though.

 

My father has some rental property's there. Planning on moving there?

 

Not yet.

Looking at some business opportunity there, thus looking for info on RE prices, demographics...

 

Bet he wasnt paying attention and bought the 24V. Wont have much luck selling it here for the price he wants. Would cost more to buy it and the needed stuff to convert to 12V than to just buy the 12V new. Not much runs off 24V in the US either.

 

I haven't been in here much but on Monday I'm headed from Gresham up to Lakewood to pickup a trailer and back.
Open truck if anyone has something that needs a ride. PM me

 

I'm also selling some tool boxes if interested. The stack with the husky is already sale pending. Anyone interested in the MAC

Random question:

Anyone here a cop for the city of Beaverton? Or know of anyone? Funny story. Was on my way to the gym this morning when a cop asked me about my suspension. I was drinking my pre-workout at a red light behind a couple cars when I noticed, with my peripherals, a car pulled up to the left lane and stopped. I wondered why they stopped so far away from the light so I looked over and the cop had his window down looking at me so I roll mine down and he asked how I like my camburgs didn't get to chat long as the light turned green for me.

Just thought I'd share my cool story.

 

i have a guess but since he hasn't said it on here, i won't toss his name out.

also, @JoeTacoma02 thanks for the info on the sway bar. i went to firestone yesterday and they told me i needed to replace my steering rack bushings before the alignment.

 

Gotcha! I'll wait for him to reply or say something. Was totally random and unexpected was all lol

As for Firestone, now I remember why I stopped going to the one on Canyon. When you said steering rack needs done before alignment I remember they told me my lower ball joints needs replacement before alignment can be done. I ended up taking my truck out to a shop in Hillsboro and they said it was fine. Guy even showed me what they look for when inspecting lower ball joints. and then the sway bars fiasco at the one off hwy 99 made me call it quits with them.

I've been doing mine at Les Schwab off canyon.
