NW WA Meet / BS Thread

The old version and the new version are pretty much the same except the materials (I think). They should work the same way. It would be best if I could check it out next time there is a meet but I mainly just need the diameter of the main mount (red) and the distance between the "Anti-Spin" tabs (blue).



I have the same type of holes but I don't know if all of the measurments match up.

 

Looks great!

I really don't like going to that place. I have been there a few times and really don't care to go there unless I have to.

 

I'd happily fabricate a light hoop for you..

 

Thanks!

Yea, I've had very poor experience dealing with them over ordering this bumper and light hoop. Started with the manager not being willing to price match the lowest price I had found. Even though they claim to have a "90 day price match guarantee". He also wasn't trying to honor their free shipping on orders picked up in store and was trying to charge me $72 to ship it. Ended up leaving and ordering over their 800 number and had no issues getting it price matched and shipped for free to the store. But then after taking my money up front, no one could seem to tell me where my bumper was or when I could expect to see it. Every time I called to see what the deal was I got a different answer. Finally today, 5 weeks after ordering it, I called the store to ask them WTF one more time and the guy I spoke with told me he would try to figure out and call me back. 3 hours later he called and said they found my bumper in the back but couldn't find the light hoop... who knows how long its been there. Looked at their store reviews on google and it looks like I'm not the only one.

I might just take you up on that! How much?
Looking for a 1.5" .120 dom wide enough to fit a 30" led bar between. The trail gear is only wide enough for a 20"

 

^ Jake is great to work with. He built my Sliders.

 

Thanks Kolt! Yeah, I'm hoping to expand some more once I'm home again!

 

Finally starting a build thread.. If any of my WA folk have any pictures handy of my truck, please upload them!

Hey Alan, how big is cedar park? My wife and I are buying a new house in Spokane area and the seller's current address I think was Cedar Park, TX.

 

It's about 20 sq miles with a population of 60k. You could kinda call it the "Marysville of Texas" in relation to what Austin is to Seattle. It far enough away from Austin that the "Hipster Prius" stuff isn't in your face all day

 

I'll try to grab some measurements for you tomorrow.

 

I will send you a link to all the pics from our Tahuya trip. Something happened w/ my Photobucket account...none of the pictures are showing up :S

 

That's a great looking truck! I the bumpers and the fender cut outs.

 

Now that I am back... anyone still interested in a meet one of these weekends?

 

You know I'm still 'in'. When I get my truck back of course.

I have a bunch of 0/1 wire, crimpers and terminal connectors waiting in the garage. My winch sputtered out on me in Tahuya due to something with the wiring, so I'm going to do the big 3 upgrade and re-do the winch wiring when I get the truck back.

Day 10 of my truck at the dealership

 

Oh yeah and I need to finish my CMC and put on my 285s. I got a bit of rock rash on one of my wheels in Tahuya so going to make sure and use my off-road set on future wheeling trips. I went into Tahuya expecting it to be easy, so I think I was looking for trouble.

 

Will, I've been told the alternator that comes with the tow package is really quite good. If there's something to upgrade, it's really only the battery.

To do that, you need to mod the battery tray. I know that Pete on Gitout did his and added an oversized Odyssey. There's also the Pelfreybilt kit that upgrades from the group 27 battery to a group 31. It's a bit pricey at $96, so not sure if a local wants to do some work...

 

Yeah - I'm only going to upgrade the wiring from the alternator. The alternator itself will remain untouched.

I got extra length of 0/1 wire so I can put a group 31 in the tool box (with the Pelfreybilt kit) as a 2nd battery. The kit is pretty sweet looking.

 

wanted to say hello to the NW guys. new to TW and Tacomas. got a 2014!
