NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Went up to yahoo lake kloochman rock, didnt catch anything but a buzz at the lake. Made the loop up the stequaliho and down the north side. Then down to my buds place in humptulips, and we worked our way on the upper wynochee area. On the way home we cruised porter creek and stayed on the east side of the forest. Final day was running and mapping the Tahuya area. Although I mapped all of it like normal.

 

It seems like there is a crazy amount of folks with BP's around here.

 

It's the current "cool thing" for overlanders

 

Wait, I thought Kings were the latest cool thing.

 

Maybe it's just a good suspension?

 

I really like the ride, don't like how they adjust though. It's a total pain in the arse.

 

Guess I am older than i thought.

 

Maybe just have more sense then some of us.

 

No..no i am just hall trash.. Cant let ones head get to big.

Just a different mindset, I still look forward to hearing the op opinion on how they perform.
The S.S office still wont let me change my name to Robbie Gordon.

 

That's my only complaint as well. They ride so damn well. Said it once, and I'll say it a thousand more times. They blow my much more expensive Icon setup out of the water.

 

My wife and I went for ride in a friends Jk that rides on Icon stage 1million or whatever the Bypass stuff is called. It road better than any 4x I had ever been in. I thought my Bilsteins where good enough till then. The next day I started researching all the big names and stumbled across the BP's. I'm convinced everyone else is way over changing for their shocks.

 

You definitely are paying extra for the name, no doubt. But surprised ARB is the cheapest, typically their stuff is $$$$

 

PLES NO MOAR BP51 SPEK

MAH BILSHITSTIN GOATTA LAST

 

I think they wanted to immediately taken icon, so they needed to come in cheaper.

 

You know you want them.

Also I still need to give you Back your Torx bit.

 

We were at Toys for Tots a couple years back and some guy walked up to my 4Runner and said "man, all this money on this truck and he can't even get some Bilsteins??"

Uh... right.

 

When I worked at Cascade Designs we could pro-deal shit from ARB.

They hadn't released the BP51s

I bought an awning















Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

 

I have some factory Bilstein shocks for you if you want them. I can bring them over on Tough Mudder weekend, so a week out from now.

 

Doug at ToyTec back in Colorado hooked me up on their 1st set they got in and was able to ship them up to me. I was deciding between those and kings. Went with the OME because of the ability to adjust the rebound and compression. Once dialed in it's like riding on a cloud

They seem pretty easy to adjust to me I've adjusted out on the trail with no issues at all

 

Anyone have a camping spot recommendation?

Remote, low likelihood of neighbors
Swimming opportunity for dog
Cool views

In order of priorities
