NW WA Meet / BS Thread

HA! That's the truth.

Epic Customs (aside from the xzibit pimp my ride sounding name) does good work. Their prices are way better then anyone I was able to find. Granted you are willing to drive to Tacoma. No complaints with them and my truck hasn't fallen apart yet after installing my lift on a KDSS equipped 4Runner.

 

Yo dawg, I heard you have a Tacoma in Tacoma, so bring your Tacoma to Tacoma and we can Tacoma your Tacoma.

 

@Nimitz I almost posted the picture to go with the post but figured I would leave the fun for someone else hahaha

 

Thanks for the softball

 

They did a great job on my compressor install. No complaints at all. Not the cheapest but Joe, Dana, Jon and Phil seem to be a good group and excellent customer service.

 

Started making lil squishssh sound over bumps.. looks normal or time for an upgrade?

 

Time for an upgrade. Billies are great if you do mild fire roads and add no weight to your Tacoma.
I will be going to Kings CO next (until I get tired of dealing with IFS stuff)

 

Yah the canopy is making the leaf flat

 

Dude guys, does anyone have a GPS they don't use? I need to get one--I don't have a problem buying used. LMK
If not, does anyone favor a particular model?

 

Your springs dont look flat in the picture and (assuming they are stock) 200 pounds shouldnt be making them go flat either.

As for your shock..it looks wet right under the boot so I would guess blown seal. Dont think those ones are really rebuildable. Time to replace them. If you are sticking with a stock pack probably doesnt really matter what you go with (another bilstein, icon, king, fox, rancho, ect).

Id say wait for another guy to blame Icon for who knows what and off load them to jump on the King band wagon and pick up their hardly used shocks cheap and enjoy them

 

I need new rear shocks myself if anyone has any extended length rears...

 

I honestly just use my phone with some offline apps

 

@JimSnell or my garage!

 

My iPhone doesn't work when I lose reception in the mountain or on Forest roads. Do you have any apps that work without cellphone signal? I've heard GoogleMaps allows you to download areas to access offline, but not sure that if it shows you your location..? I'll need that when I'm in a maze of unmarked forest roads.

Open to ideas here.

 

Did this. New front bumper arrives thurs! Anyone want to buy my undercover hard bed top with racks?

 

Rich at Driveline Service of bellingham is the man. Old timer whose up to date on all the new stuff. Runs the show by himself and does honest fair work. Dealt with him twice. Easy to work with and knows his shit.

 

In Baja racing there is a reason they have leashes to keep your hands strapped to the steering wheel. Just glad you didnt end up like that guy on tosh.0! ☺️

 

Try backcountry navigator. They have a pay version which is worth it to me. Gaia gps is another good one, but I don't have personal experience with it.

 

If you are going Icon wait for a sale. Should be able to get 15-20% off and have them new.
