Oregon and Washington BS thread

Hey guys, I'm traveling across the country in my 3rd gen 4Runner, I started in Alabama and am currently in Seattle. Are there any beaches in Oregon that you can drive/camp on like Pismo in California? I plan to drive along the coast in a few days. Thanks for any suggestions!

 

Florence, OR

 

Not sure how I missed this one. Been on YT for a long time... Any who here are my rigs.

My 1uz powered 4Runner!

Went to Aussie for this Diesel Hilux. Sitting on the hill checking out his new shop building as the foundation and slab are poured!

Thanks! I'll check that out.

 

Anyone here have a 1lb to 20lb propane hose adapter?

I've got one for my Colman camp stove. But everytime I use it, the gas will slowly die out and no more flame. If I wait a minute and try to lite again, it'll lite but the flame is sooooo small. I'm not sure if it's freezing somehow? Or not sealed enough even tho I tighten tight by hand? I've tried Google but most issues I've read are with one specific brand stove and there solution isn't working for me.

Any thought would be appreciated, as I'm stumped and hate the 1lb cans.

 

Put a regulator inline like on your bbq and it won't freeze as easy. Will be able to control flame height easier as well. It will still freeze if you run it wide open though. I use a single burner coleman for my homemade hillbilly smoker. Set on low it will run 225F all night for large cuts of meat.

 

Good meme is good

 

I'm pretty sure that has happened in my old truck. Many people found religion in the passenger seat, and drunks would quickly sober up. It even had methods and kings at one point.

 

I think I just sold my truck today... Time for a 2018 something...

 

Time for a new build

 

Love that color man

 

Initial thoughts between your old one and this?

 

Anyone selling a set of bed bars in the Salem PDX area? My 2nd gen ones are a little short and I’d really like to mount this tent. There was a dude in CL making them for $90 up on vantucky but I don’t his post anymore.

Also have a 2nd gen set for sale for $140 obo/trade

 

I'm looking for rock sliders if anyones selling. Preferably weld-on but open to bolt-on for the right price.

Any recommendations for local shops that sell and can weld them on for me would be greatly appreciated!

 

Well its crazy nice inside. Stock suspension is a lot stiffer than the Icon lift I had on the 08. No worries there. I'm thinking I'm going to live with it till November when they normally sell that stuff for 10% off plus free shipping. It actually sits higher than the 08 did. It's only 2 inches lower than my old one was.

Its chocked full of electronic shit I'm still trying to figure out. It's kinda overwhelming. But its kind of nice. Much quieter ride. It does feel more powerful but the tranny is awkward. My wife drives a 2016 Legacy that has a very similar tranny so I understand how its going to be. I'm okay with the mod. I was getting 12MPG on the 08 and right now i'm averaging 20 so that is a massive gain.

I'm just going to do the stage 3 Icon lift this time on the truck and ad skids. Going to hold off on the bumpers. No light bars etc. I thought the bed was the same. I can't use my 2nd gen bed bars from relentelss on the new bed. They don't extend to my new rails. Which is super frustrating as I guess i'm sleeping on the ground this weekend.

There is a shit ton of buttons. I mean a shit ton. Like who actually has wireless charging on your phone? Well I have the latest and greatest phone and I don't have it. But I have a button for it . The lane depart is kinda bull shit. You have to be going 40MPH and be like fully off the road until it hits you.

I guess that's my initial review. Fucking love the truck. Just wish you didn't have to buy all the bullshit to get all the off road options. But lets be real. Its super nice!!! I'm happy!

 

My previous phone had it, and used the shit out of it. My new one does not. Only downside I found was you couldn't used your phone while charging vs having a cable plugged in.

 

I've had an Iphone since the beginning. Not sure i'll try to change soon. But I was looking at cases that will charge with the new option. Idk maybe. They really really do sell you a lot of bull shit. Although in toyota's defense the tow pack is standard now and no more chrome bumbers.

 

Psst...my iPhone 8 has had wireless charging since it was released last September...so does the iPhone X, Samsung Galaxy S7, S8, S9, upcoming S10...

How is the dispersed camping near crater lake? I'm looking to get out camping in a few weeks and it's on the list possibly.
