Oregon and Washington BS thread

Well I sold the Yota. I know I might get some shit for this. But I turned it in for a 2014 Silverado. I loved the yota but I cant fit 2 car seats in the back seat. I wasn’t surprised but it was sold to someone at the dealership the next day. Guess Ill be seeing it around Spokane now

 

That's pretty much the standard response I hear for people selling. Baby seats are huge. Gripes me because it affects the industry and I miss the small utilitarian trucks of the 80s.

 

Hey @stikle how's the move been? Hopefully you are doing alright and getting things set up in central Oregon

 

Damn...I'd love to move to Oregon someday.

 

Should have got a double cab in trade. I fit my 5,6,7 year old in the back. With out issues

 

I fit 3 car seats in my double cab no problem. Two of them are for kids that are 4 and 2 and the other is for a 5 month old. We've found that if you spend a little more money and get a good compact seat they fit just fine.

 

I know you can. We wanted something a little bigger. And the fact that the Silverado get better gas mileage

 

I loved the size of the Tacoma, but I wish Toyota would put some R&D into gas mileage. Look what other companies are doing, trucks 2000 pounds heavier get same or better gas mileage.

 

My dad's new F350 diesel gets 18mpg, which is about the same or better than me. It also has 440 HP and 925 lb-ft of torque

 

I'm just repeating what I hear. My back seat usually has a guitar, a gun, or a horde of camping gear running across it

 

Living in Portland now always looking to go wheeling

 

might seem amazing....until the first major repair bill comes in lol.

 

Anyone have a recommendation on where to buy a canopy? I live really close to NW Truck Accessories so I'll start there.

 

There's literally not a single canopy on the Portland Craigslist haha.

 

Just wait, there's sure enough to be one that pops up in a color you don't want

 

I wouldn't be surprised, I refer to it as the moon rocket. There's stupid amounts of tech packed in there.
I've also discovered I'm pretty crap when it comes to using reverse cameras to back up a trailer, ha.

 

Anybody know of any good trails around the Spokane area?

 

If anyone is going to Moab this weekend we have space on white rim for and over night trip

@manintheglass : DON'T. I bought mine from them and they suck. I have to figure out a way to get it off now to replace the folded piece of foam and silcon they used to seal the head-end instead of spending $10 for a piece of proper gasket.

Seriously considering selling my topper though and going a different route. 2nd Gen DCLB...

 

Does anyone in the Portland area (or Tacoma area for this weekend Oct. 13-17) have 275/70R18 or 285/75R18 tires that I could test fit on my truck before I buy some?

PM me if you do I can bring everything to try them out.
