NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I’d do it in 1 second if I won a very large lottery. Otherwise it’s Auburn for the next 3 years.

 

I'm fucking slammed at work this week. Just lost the holiday to a trip to bend and prineville, and i won't get back from Spokane till Saturday. No rest for the drunk?

 

You'd have to give up your toys!

 

Jim installed the winch and Jarred's old U.S. Offroad mount in the Tacoma on Friday at the rally!
Thanks @JimSnell and @JDAM
I'll post some pics after the work week is done!

 

You found time to work in between drinking? Awesome! Glad it went to a good home.

 

Wheeled to wilkinson area over by sun lake on Friday.
Then to Kaner Flats to 676 Aarkvard Hill on Saturday.
Then out Quartz Mt on Sunday.

 

Good to finally meet @bobsuruncle

 

Anybody in the Gig Harbor/Tacoma area have an alignment shop that won't have issues installing bigger tires and knows their way around adjusting LR upper control arms? Just finished my lift today and tires show up tomorrow. Looking for a whole mount/balance/align package.

 

You too! I found that write up explaining Toyota axles pretty much from 79-04. There's some in there about 05+ tacomas also.

Your drive shaft to tire rotation would indicate 4.10.

Here the site with the rpm/speed/gear ration calculator.

@bobsuruncle you did the OVtune for your truck didn't you?

 

No, it was hot out and we had to stay hydrated. So we drank and worked.

 

Auburn..that's your problem right there...

I like so-cal, just couldn't live there. Even if I was filthy rich, I wouldn't want to live there permanently. Would have a nice beach house estate but that's about it.

 

Yessir

 

Did you regear as well or did the tune do enough?

 

I'll be regearing in the future, but the truck doesn't hunt between 4th/D all the time anymore, and it will hold a gear better when moderately accelerating. Im currently running my LR-E 285/70's and it feels/responds better than before. Floor it at speed and it won't hesitate to drop to the gear it needs, where before it would drop a gear then be like, oh shit, and drop another to deliver the get up and go. Butt Dyno approves, but without an actual Dyno run, I can't specifically give any gains from the tune. I'm running the 92octane/e-shift tune. I received his 87/e-shift tune also. At $70 a fill up, I'm ready to try the 87 tune, but only have less than 500miles on the OVtune so far.

 

I was curious on the 87 tune haha. I wish he would do a towing specific tune too. Thats mostly where im interested in is how it would improve towing. Im actually ok.....or just to used too....the stock tune

 

From what it seems like, there will be more to come but for right now, he's playing catch-up and that's what he has to offer for the moment. He advertised custom tunes specific to the vehicle and I emailed him about data logging for a more defined tune for my bolt ons, and he said right now he's mainly working on getting full support for the 05-15 1grfe, so I can understand that. I've been waiting since Thanksgiving for this. Just got it last week.

 

I wish there was a tune to improve gas mileage..
