NW WA Meet / BS Thread

They will quite literally tell you when it’s time

 

Nice. Used to go to The Tracyton for wings quite often before I moved out to Port Orchard

 

What’s The Tracyton? U mean the public house near the boat ramp?

 

Lol yeah. It was always just The Tracyton growing up

 

I would at least grease them if they are not rattling

 

Guess i actually never knew who you worked for lol. I know the couple Praxair drivers who come on base and thats it. Well know enough to say hi and BS with them at least[/QUOTE]

I work for Praxair. I take of the big bulk tanks that sit outside. I'm all over Oregon and S. Washington.

 

Ya, just had the same thing happen. Figured with 185K on 'em the rest weren't far behind so let T of Burien do the work. Gonna pick it up on Friday. Read some threads on DIY rebooting them, but don't have all the tools needed, and it seems like a full day job (I'm sloooowww at this stuff), so the $$ seemed worth the benefit to me of not DIY.

 

Nice. I take care of basically all non bulk, including machines and consumables. Biggest things I move are the 180 liter liquid vessels.

 

Yeah I’m in a similar boat, just shy of rolling my mid life crisis (200k ) but I have a new set coming from CVJ

Had some other front end maintenece to do as well so it kind of worked out

 

We just called it the Tracyton Tavern. Public House title is new. Moved from the East Coast to Bremerton when I was 10 in '86. High School was Olympic. Parents still live close by off McWilliams and by the Rolling Hills Golf Course.

I'm in Tacoma now, but still make it that way once or twice a month.

 

I can walk over to that place from my house. Guess I ought to check out the wings.

 

I have not participated much on the forum, I’ve been busy moving and working.

In other news, got this.

 

Needed a bigger bed to carry more chainsaws?

 

No clue how they are now. Used to be decent. Been probably 5 years since Ive been there

 

Alright ballers, my fracking BP-51’s are leaking again. I’ve reached out to arb for warranty replacement on them. As soon as I get the replacements I’m going to sell them and do something else. Suggestions? I’m seriously considering just going back to a bilstein setup.

 

I’m a big fan of these pro comp 2.75 coilovers. And they’re very affordable

 

I will check them out

 

I’ve seen them on Amazon prime for as low as 385$ a piece

 

Trade for 5w30 or 10w30 or premix gas. I have no use for this.

 

I just picked up bilstien 6112/5160 struts/shocks and am very impressed with them thus far. Take it with a grain of salt though as I haven't installed yet so can't provide real world analysis of them. Build quality seems top notch and the price can't be beat so there's that
