Oregon and Washington BS thread

http://kpr.craigslist.org/cto/6009400247.html Speaking of over on the dry side. This isn't a bad deal for a 1st Gen if anyone was looking

 

Ah sorry didn't see this until today. Was up in Kirkland yesterday.

 

I keep on seeing a black DC long travel tacoma in Corvallis... Anyone here?

 

Is it a chick driver? Have you seen the white first gen LT?

 

Sorry man I was in Winthrop all weekend. Def another time tho!

I sent mine to CVJ, totally worth the $160 (for both CV's) for them to switch out the shafts. At the same time they gave me new boots for free since im a returning customer and the boots on there had some wear.

 

Well that's no help haha.

I've done it before, but this time around things are being a real pain lol.

 

Just put grease on it, slide it and use a small screw driver to get the c-clip started then pop it in.

 

You guys and gals have alignment shop recommendations?

How about alignment numbers (I think there is a thread somewhere... but I'm looking for local experience)?

My go-to shop is a couple months out.

Thanks.

I made an appointment to straighten out my rear end and they had it done when they said they would. I did early morning drop off. When I went to pick it up, there were people in cars all over the place. They are seriously busy. I would not attempt randomly stopping by to see if they have an opening. I seem to remember the price being fair in my mind.

 

Thank you.

 

Hoseclamp. Smack. Remove hoseclamp. Beer.

 

Anyone in the PDX area have a King spanner wrench?

 

I'm in sun river bend area for couple days. Where's is some good places to wheel/shoot?

 

Haha genius idea sir. I managed to get it in with a prybar pushing the clip in, then one good whack.

I'll definitely not forget the hose clamp idea tho, makes it super simple haha.

 

Me and the wife are debating about moving our family to the pnw. Where is a good area to raise a family? I'm a DOD worker and my wife works for the usps. So preferably near a military base and somewhere that doesn't snow too much. Thanks in advance

 

I saw you @Benson X when you were going down I-5 south, just north of Ft Lewis. The one good thing about my job is, I see all kinds of modded Tacoma, 4Runners and FJs.

 

If you're looking near the military base, you're looking around the JBLM area, which is where I live. Lots of places close enough to commute, if necessary. We also don't typically get much snow, if any (this year has been a bit of a fluke....). Tacoma and Spanaway are obvious choices and both spots range from nice area to completely ghetto. Puyallup is also a slightly classier, very much suburban area. Graham is great, too, but a little more rural.

Let me know if you have any other specific questions! I'm more than happy to answer anything!

 

Thanks. Gonna look on USAjobs for something around there. Was eyeing puyallup, seems like a nice city with decent priced housing.
