NW WA Meet / BS Thread

33s. Goal of trading up from the 88p is to make airing up faster. I think I'll probably end up with the viair 400

in my experience there isn't enough existing holes in the frame to securely bolt on sliders from front to back. You can hit the existing holes and have it half ass secured. Or have them welded or get some titanium drill bits and finish it.

 

Yeah, I have bolt on Pelfreybilt. Zero drilling required, as it's supposed to be

 

Link please

 

I have metaltechs and they have an option to drill additional holes for reinforcement. I spoke with them about these mounting points, and then decided there was no need to drill and use them. So far they are secured just fine with what the truck already offers.

I was thinking about picking one of each, after some thought though I am not a complying

 

some lady on FB called KCSO and they said they won't enforce or hand out fines.. not a real law blah blah blah
not sure if true

 

where are the reinforcement points and are you comfortable with using a hi-lift jack there? My reinforcements are up close to front tires. I still need to drill those holes. Though I think I can jack from the front bumper now anyways.

 

Lets keep politics out, but here is a response from my town's police department and we are in king county.

 

I hate to be a downer and appreciate not listening to authority figures, but the coronavirus kills as many people A DAY (in just the United States) as the terrorist attacks on 9/11. Please listen to people who have spent their entire careers studying large scale viral outbreaks and not what you read on Facebook.

Good luck getting that through to the social media degenerates

 

All I offer is information. At this point I’m exhausted at the futility of trying to change people’s minds

 

I feel your pain dude....but at least you tried

 

Nice i still Need to do this.

 

Yeah me too!

 

I have Used a high lift jack on my bolt on RCI sliders many times without issue and my truck is a Fat heavy warpig!

 

So when i get back need to change out my tie rod ends. Anyone know a good place or offer services for minimal fee or beer and food plus i will Help/ do it myself if not to hard. I prefer To learn and doesn’t seem to hard. Just need someone to make sure i don’t break some shit.

 

Can confirm
