NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Do a search on this thread for posts by me written this week. I talked a bit about compressors. I'm out for the trip tomorrow. I meant to say something sooner but this week has kept me from being on top of things - I've been creating work instead of solving anything, and I need the weekend to get some sanity. n.clark, I didn't hear back from you about if you want the spare tire. I'll give a text here soon. cosmicfires, you have next dibs, but we'll have to work out a way to meet up. We'll cross that bridge if it comes to that.

 

I ended up getting this one.

$240 VIAIR 400P Portable Compressor Kit - 40043

I just ordered a set of sliders from Jerry. If any of you guys end up purchasing some I would love to go in together on shipping if it can be arranged

 

I have this ARB and used it a bunch this summer. Awesome compressor & fast. 2.65cfm.

 

I may need to use someone's compressor tomorrow... depending on how low I go with my PSI maybe I can get to Safeway in Monroe on 10-15 PSI if the snow isn't that deep/bad

If I had to do it again, this would be my solution...

 

I got this lil guy for $70.

It's not the fastest, but get all 4 tires from 13-35 in about 20 mins.

 

Will you be camping at a designated place or going to boondock it and pitch a tent at a wide spot in the trail??

If the former -- what are you thinking and do you have a link?

Thanks! Have fun and wheel safe tomorrow!!!!

 

As much as it absolutely kills me to say this i will not be participating tomorow
Might as well go cry myself to sleep now lol

 

That's why I joined Tacoma World. You guys do stuff. 4Runner.org does not.

 

I sure hope so! Im really bummed about this one;( I have a month from december 12 to jan 12 with no work no school and no responsibilities.
Lets go wheel!!

How much was shipping quoted for??

 

Nice weather should produce some very nice snow ridden mountain shots, woot

COME

I'm very curious too. If we did this my sliders would have to sit at someone's house or if they would let my Dad swing by and pick em up while I'm down in San Diego at boot camp.

 

Sounds like me

 

When myself and two other guys did BAMF sliders shipped to my work it was $50 per person ($150) for all three sets. Saved each of us roughly $100 in shipping. Under $300 for a set of sliders shipped is a damn good deal if you ask me.

Jerry makes some nice shit and it was ahead of schedule by like a month, which was unexpected.

Just keep in mind it will need to be shipped to a business address to keep the price down.
