NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Damn! No kidding. Just another A/T.
A lower price point with some kind of modularity would be great. If one could buy the bones (frame, suspension w/wo box) it would allow someone to tailor it to their specific needs and allow for lower initial expense.

 

That's a good idea. I showed them the price of trailers and they were blown away. "people are paying that much for them?"

 

There's one in Oregon. Don't remember the name though. Seems like most are small companies and/or side businesses. I could really see a more budget minded trailer company doing well if they advertised well and stuck to one or two sizes. Basically make things into a "production" welding setup and the time gets cut down a ton.

I still want to build one myself. I just need money and time.....and less projects.

 

The lowest ones i've seen are from CVT and Smitty Built start around 6-7K

 

My current view from work.

 

Did a little playing up at Mount Spokane and Lake Coeur d'Alene today.

 

Nice. I will be in CDA for the Fourth of July. Can't wait.

 

@northwesttaco

Here you go man -- COD MW3 edition Jeep......

https://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/cto/6114716691.html

Didn't know such things existed.

 

My next build is literally going to cost about $15k less and be plenty more capable/reliable lol still not sure if the jeep is white or silver though

 

We didn't get to adventure quite as much as I would've liked, but there's a lot of potential. It was gorgeous, though! You'll love it!

 

We have been going there for 8 years or so. It's one of my favorite places.

 

Take photos at the Northwest Overland Rally at Plain, Wa on Jun 15,16,17

 

is anyone going to this, thinking of skipping the TSF meet and go to this instead?

 

My old stomping grounds! Absolutely love NorDaho. Coeur d'Alene is a lot bigger than it used to be, so now I typically head north. If you haven't checked out around Sandpoint and Lake Pend Oreille, you're in for a treat.

 

Not sure if you can get tickets or not still. I'll throw the RTT on the super duty and go with you if so

 

website still shows tickets at $95 a person for a 20x20 spot

 

I would have gone. But they're putting it on a week earlier and I have to work.

 

I'd driven past, but never really spent time there! It's gorgeous! I'll definitely have to go back soon'

Noted! I'll have to do a little more exploring in Idaho, I think.

 

Idaho is beautiful. Lived in both the south and central areas.

 

I'll be there. As will @busmup808 @Nimitz @GSPRunner and a few other people I am sure.
