NW WA Meet / BS Thread

They are looking for volunteers at my work to get HAM licenses and assist with business operations in the event of a major disaster. So maybe I'll go for it. Get a free handheld radio out of it too.

I'm kind of with Cam though for our trips. Use what everyone else is using. There have been runs where I was using CB and a FRS at the same time and exchanging info between the two groups and it was annoying as hell.

HAM would be fun to have in the truck. But if I'm stuck or broke down I'll just send you all a text through InReach device.

 

Do that shit.

 

Picked up gas turbine for my truck.

 

Is that for a new boat, or replacing the one in the boat?

 

I'm staying in Sequim for the week with the ol ball & chain. Might head down to Tahuya on Sunday before we head home--never been. Is the Overland Loop what I should be looking for?

 

I think it's called the south loop

 

your wheelin' will be limited by "burn bans"

 

Makes it look like the Tundras I saw at the Formula 1 track in Austin a few years ago. They used small turbines in the bed with ducts out the back and down to the ground facing sideways as blowers to drive around and blow everything off the track in between races.

 

Just finished this one and at the dyno with it now.

 

I've always wanted to build a small turbine out of an old turbocharger.

 

Found a solution for you @AWilson013.. Have one of everything

 

That's the guy looking to turn me in to the FCC

 

I thought it was fake when I first saw it.

 

75 lbs works great with stock suspension, don't need a bigger battery!

 

Is the bed strong enough to handle the thrust?

 

Whoa, and I thought I had a lot crammed into my overhead console:




Sadly, my console is probably sitting in the basement of some meth head's parent's now.

 

@Haslefre

your bro/broinlaw(?) still looking?

BAMF. UCA skids. Best offer in next 48 hours.
These have been relieved so that they do not hit or scrape at full droop on +2 mid travel, so you don't have to screw with it!

 

What do you mean by +2 mid travel?
