NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Wheres all the wheeling pictures, looks like everyone just hung around the pound

 

I dunno I didn't take any. I know people have video out there and they are probably editing right meow and hopefully getting it down to 5 min or less because I lose interest after that LOL. I actually have some dash cam video but it may not be interesting at all. Really slow moving and just looking at someones ass end. I'll look through it though. Or maybe I could give my best video to someone else making an awesome youtubes.

 

Per owners manual: front- 1.59 qt, rear- 3.12 qt, transfer- 1.1 qt.

 

^^ thanks bruddah

 

Lol, not really. It's all part of the experience

Looks like they've changed things around a bit up there.

 

Did anyone make it up Yellowjacket Hill? That seems to be the most challenging obstacle in all of Tahuya.

 

Which one's that?

 

Most of the footage from yesterday was shot in time-lapse by accident... so mad at myself....

 

It's the rowdy hillclimb near the North entrance. There's an easy bypass if you stick to the Right of the hill.

Bunch of pics here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/tahuya-meet-1-26-14.312459/page-3#post-8081226

 

I believe it is 8 qts if you have the 6 spd MT to change as well, otherwise these numbers look correct. And just remember when you go to re-fill them make sure the truck is level, if you have the front up on ramps and the rears on the ground you might not be able to get all the fluid in that each one takes (don't ask how I know this ).

I used Redline MT-90, it's kinda of spendy but so far in my experience it is good stuff. Also I have read that you have to add an LSD additive to the rear if you have LSD but don't take my word on that.

 

yeah I have a auto trans and its a SR5 so I was trying to see what was up thanks

 

No one attempted. I would have if I had my truck and @Skootter14 was going to but didn't want to be the only one to drag everyone back.

Not the most challenging anymore though. The other hill that you go down to get to the bottom of yellow jacket is much harder. Well if you were to go up it

 

I need to make it up there again soon to see what's changed.

Finally getting some long overdue projects wrapped-up before starting on other mods. Itching to get out soon.

 

They are redoing quite a bit towards the end of the loop. The last trail was closed

 

"Closed" haha

 

@JimSnell you must have put that "gently used" skid up for sale after yesterday's run... asking a bit much?

 

Not mine. Look for thee one with fresh rattlecan on it sometime next week.

 

Still good paint under there somewhere.

 

How's dem fish tails

 

Man, I know that feeling all too well. I worked in ND in 2014. Ranged from 90 to 120 hours PER WEEK. You just become a gear in the machine to them.

It was beyond miserable.

There comes a point where all the money in the world isn't worth losing your sanity/health.

On a happier note, all the pics are great! Who's heading up the next run? I think @Skootter14 and @Kappes03 are deploying in March IIRC? We should get something on the books before then.

Also, best of luck with MEPS tomorrow @Greenhatter ... duck walk like a boss!
