NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Redheaded stepchild company of 19th group based in Utah. Nice to be away from any other military bases.

 

Duuuude I’m trying to sign up this summer for national guard to make my way to 19th

 

Just a heads up though, when I was in 19th, it was pretty much like being AGR or active duty. They deployed a lot and went to a lot of different places for training so it was nowhere near the 1 weekend a month and 2 weeks out of a year for most. It was fun, and good people though. I was a 25F (now 25N? I dunno) but was acting 18E commo sergeant on a team. I was at 1st group and 51st sig (north carolina before they split up) during active duty.

 

Not bad at all since I live in west seattle im opposite of traffic. 45min each way is how it works out. Better then when im in Bellevue, Everett or Tacoma.

 

Oh how I do not miss the days of ever changing job location.

 

Easiest mod EVAH! Top plate spacer. Takes like 5 seconds to put on. But I didn't seem to get any lift from it. Maybe need a thicker spacer?

 

?

 

I was thinking about adding that 1/4 " spacer to get back some lost lift. After installing a bumper and winch, the front is sagging a little.

 

That was smart-assedness. Placing a spacer there won't do anything. It has to be between the coil spring on the coil spring bucket.

 

"It has to be between the coil spring on the coil spring bucket"- that is what I will do and hopping that it will recover some of the lost lift. Other direction is getting me either 650 or 700 coil spring to get the job done. The differences of course the $$$$$.

 

For you Steve

 

Not to start a big debate, but if you do any full flex off roading, you are WAY better off saving the $ and doing it right the 1 st time. This from a guy on his 3rd suspension. Spacers are ok if you keep it on the street or light off roading tho.
As @NorthwestCruiser says, “buy once, cry once”
And he’s right.

 

Mine is strictly to fix "taco lean". My driver's side is a whole 1" lower than the passenger's side on 885x coils.

 

Eh top plate spacers are fine, its the the 2/3" leveling kits that are crap.
Also please don't get 700lb coils

 

For an idea on prices for those box seats I was talking about...

He has 4 tickets to Sasquatch. For 3 days, two VIP parking spots (in case you have people that don't want to camp), etc. it's $200/day so $600 for the 3 days.

 

Anyone in the Vancouver/Portland area or within a hour that has a level driveway? I need to change the oil in my engine, front diff, rear diff and xfer case. I just need to drop my 3 skids in the process.

 

That's what he says now, at least!

 

Im really digging those diamond axles... buy once smile forever.. ?

 

They are coming to visit from TN/KY and I thought it was you they were saying something about potentially meeting up with. Guess not haha

 

Levi the one with LT and 37's?
