Idaho BS thread in the PNW

That's awesome! Super jealous!

 

Yeah not going through that intersection I’m sure has been nice. Hope your settled in at your new place and new settings. Let me know if you need a hand with anything.

 

Thanks man, I think I've got all the stuff I needed help with, just gotta get some small stuff loaded now. We moved the LS and toolboxes yesterday which was a huge relief to get that big stuff moved. I have a HF 20 ton press I've gotta find a new home for, not practical to store it.

 

Screaming deal for a North Idaho person look like some quality units

 

I got a 12 ton press I’m give a local shop. DIY shop so you can go in and rent a 2 post lift and all the tools for like 50$/hour. Local wheeling group goes and takes over the place every month and we get a bunch of stuff done and hangout. If I had room I’d definitely keep the press but if you don’t have a shop setup a full press is a little much to have in storage.

 

Can I just say... no regrets on the Diode dynamics yellow fogs.

 

How crazy expensive is Twin Falls and surrounding areas?

 

Compared to...?

 

Denver. Of course I don't know Denver prices cause I'm paying $550 for a bedroom and basically my own bath.
My journeyman Electrician license is good there. Always curious of different states as I'm not married and no kids.

 

I'm sure Google would give you a decent data set compared to anecdotes of forum users on a truck forum, but what makes you interested in Twin? In general Idaho isn't cheap place like it used to be. People have flocked here for one reason or another whether it's political, the access to public lands, or our love of fry sauce. And with more people moving ng at a fast pace it has driven up prices of a lot of things.

It’s on the cheaper side of Idaho, if you can imagine a farm town grew up. What brings you to Idaho?

 

Just thinking out loud. Idaho is one of the states my license is good in. I'd honestly like to go a little warmer but Colorado is so overly populated and expensive it's getting old

 

In south Idaho we get some hot summers but I doubt it overall would be much warmer than Colorado. The magic valley (twin falls area) isnt on a population boom like the treasure valley (Boise area) so it shouldn't get crowded too fast. Treasure valley is the next Denver.

 

Thanks for the response, man.

 

As Ben said our summers are pretty warm but it really depends on where in the state you go to twin falls doesn’t get cold but the wind chill out on that flat land will freeze you solid and then blow you a few counties away.

 

Merry Christmas everybody!

 

Merry Christmas! Hope you all have a great holiday!

 

Those are rookie numbers, you gotta pump those numbers up! Mine was 2 years old in October.

 

I thought I had read that Twin Falls was the fastest growing city in the US in like 2020 or 2021. Though I don't know that it still is and it's still no where near as big as the Boise area.

It's a farming area with a lot of dairies and a large Hispanic population. Twin Falls itself is part of the banana belt of Idaho and gets relatively mild winters. If you stray just 30 minutes east into the Hazelton/Eden and Burley area they get heavy winters and crazy wind similar to what I get here in Idaho Falls. I was at my in-laws on Thanksgiving in Hazelton and we woke up to 12+ inches of snow! It was pretty crazy.

I think my only complaint with Twin is that almost everything is down one main road and it makes traffic miserable especially with the population boom the last few years.
