NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I might be in for that if the price is right. My OEM leafs with AAL are finally starting to sag.

 

Anyone know where the snow level is around Greenwater/Stampede Pass? Considering a run in a week or so.

 

Anyone need some wheels/tires?

*copied from my classified thread*
A friend of mine is selling his C rated 265/75R16 Duratracs and Bronze SCS SR8s with center caps for $1,300.

He's willing to ship at buyer's expense.

The wheels are in very good condition, and the tires have 14/32 tread and even wear. I'll post some detailed photos later today, but for now, here are these.

 

From the Snoqualmie side Stampede was still closed last weekend. I imagine any section of road with tree cover will still be completely snowed in

 

Tree cover and northern facing slopes. Will probably be another month or so before it is completely passable. Nothing like coming around a corner and finding a 2-3ft wall of snow.

 

Good info, thanks. Wasn't sure how they manage these routes with closures and whatnot.

 

Forgot to mention, about 2 weeks ago my mom got Washington's first 2017 Grey TRD off road (not trail edition) 4runner, or at least we were told.. Had .2 miles on it when we got it and had to order it and be built in Japan. I told her not to get KDSS so that I could through so Kings on it, then she tells me she bought the 9 year extended warranty

 

The "Trail Edition" is now referred to as the "TRD Off Road" for 2017, otherwise there is no changes over the previous model year. Nice rig, and the best color. I don't understand how these vehicles have less than 5 miles at delivery, they are supposed to drive them a few miles as part of the pre-delivery inspection. I see it a lot though, technicians not doing that.

 

I had a feeling all they did was change over the badges. Does yours have any TRD accessories? This one has the TRD shift nob, I haven't looked in the engine bay yet to see if it has the air intake or oil fill cap.

 

I think the badges, shift knob, maybe floor mats and subtle changes to the wheels are the only things that are different for the "TRD Off-Road"

 

Floor mats look normal, no TRD symbols on them. But yeah I think you're right.

 

You make a good point Jeff. There isn't anything wrong with my Dakars with the AAL after 2 years of moderate use. They still have a lot of curve and lift to them. Although they squeak, it doesn't bother me as much as some people (@twalchlii1) talkin to you!

I really like the set up i bought from wheelers, it was a little over $1000 i think. Fully loaded rear it barely sags at all, with a rear swing out gate bumper and a canopy, plus gear.

Dakars with the AAL preinstalled.
Icon ext travel rear shocks
wheelers bumpstops, with a relentless u-bolt flip.
OME leaf bushings.
- need to install the rear leaf shims

 

This will pretty much be my setup. I've already got extended travel icons. New bumper is going to add ~230 lbs. it's going to take 374738 years to get my bumpers from Relentless so I've got a couple months to get the rear suspension set up for it. Anyone have any recommendations on lights? My prinsu should be here tomorrow and I got a cutout for a single row 40" bar. Don't think I want to spend Rigid or Baja prices but something in a moderate price point that will last.

 

Its not a terribly expensive part If you only need 1. The dealer should be able to get it for you. Here it is though. Ive also seen them made out of simple angle iron picked up from Lowes/HD.

I love the stories the tell people to sell vehicles.

There are quite a few of these rolling around- the manager at my Discount Tire has one

When I was there a few weeks ago he was asking me questions about plasti-dip. Wants to do the fender flares "so they look like bushwhackers".

 

Yeah I figured haha maybe the first one from Rodland Toyota then.

 

Deavers for $220- don't remember who needed them.

Nice man!! I'm looking at getting at single row 20in Rough Country for my front bumper and then eventually a 40in for the prinsu. I read a thread about what light bars fit in the cut out on the pelfreybilt bumper and these do.

pretty good price too, you can get 3 of these for the price of a rigid, and they have good reviews.
