NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Photo bombed

 

Those tires make the truck look small.

 

Now i need To trim a few things...like the bed...

 

Looks like the bumper too?

 

bumper is the catalyst, might use this as an excuse to bob it to the size of a short bed

ETA: surprisingly clears fairly well

 

Some of these tire threads remind me so much of WD...

It’s going to be a nekid crawler by the time you finish.

 

How’s your RPM’s now on the freeway?

 

havent taken it on the freeway yet, Speedo is only of by 4-6 MPH vs the 15MPH I was at

also going to have to balance them once i get to work...the balancer at my home shop never got bolted down and tipped over when i put my tires on

 

Here we go! Capture the flag is live!

me and the girl friend might tag along

 

@Shadowhunter I’m around 2900 rpm at 70 MPH vs the 3400 i was at

I’m very impressed that there’s little to no vibration with these tires not being balanced yet.

 

Some more stuff came in the mail today, a friend of my dads going to let me borrow his mag drill and annular cutters to punch in this hole

im probably going to get rid of my tailgate

 

That’s about where I am at 70 with my 4.88’s

 

What’s the lake around the Rainer area that takes some work getting to...i remember seeing a video of it and the trail seemed similar to Van-Epps

 

Lonesome Lake on the N side of Rainier? 15 miles on 74 I believe it is.

 

i don’t think so, this had a pretty narrow/overgrown trail that was pretty fun looking

 

Oh, not sure. If you find out what it is let us know!

 

Well it’s amazing how something so simple can turn into a ordeal. Wife’s 3.4 runner had a misfire in cylinder 4, pulled the plug and it was shorting through the boot. No biggie, run into town and snagged new plugs, wires and a PVC valve. Got it all back together and went to swap in the new PVC and it snapped off flush in the valve cover. Tried to grab it with some needle nose and the fucker squirted down into the valve cover. Hour and a half later and some really choice words it’s all good and runs like a top.
