NW WA Meet / BS Thread

a new Lamborghini Countach msrp was 41k in 1979. With inflation that's $128,777, only 8 thousand more dollars than that used Toyota Landcruiser

 

Haven't had time to really wheel the last couple of months besides a couple quick snow wheeling trips. Been busy working a ton and doing some side work/tidying things up on my truck, so managed to pull a late one tonight and run Tahuya with a couple buddies. First wheeling trip with air bumps in the rear, and wow what a difference. Yes, they are pretty damn loud on the street, but worth it for me. So nice to not have to worry about truly bottoming out or picking a tire in the rear. The front is a different story travel wise which hopefully I'm doing Lt in a couple months, but the stock lowers/spcs/tuned Foxs/superbumps do a fine job with abuse.

Little flex photo, rear still has another inch of droop (limit straps should stretch a hair) and can still pull another inch of uptravel on compression, just waiting on some bigger wheel spacers and will need to trim the fenders up a bit then. Rear tire stuffs an inch or so up into the fender right now for reference.

 

What do you have from frame to plate at full droop?

 

@Usethe2nd Found it! Well most of it. Looks like I have the main pieces and battery hold down but none of the mounting hardware. The top is also drilled and tapped for a Bluesea ML-ACR. Just needs cleaning up and probably another coat of paint

 

Did you trim the rear fender at all? I had to trim and the front of the tire is rubbing on the spot where the fender brace mounts up. Also, dibs on your superbumps when you get rid of them...

 

Nada actually, with my wheels/spacers/10.5 wide tires they tuck up just perfectly inside the flare. Rub a bit, but figured I'd wait to trim since its nothing detrimental. Also scuffs the front of the fenderwell but nothing eats up the tire, probably will just push the fender brace forward. Have the superbumps for sale if you want em

 

Let me know when I can pick it up and how much you want! Thanks

 

I'm probably starting to get the infamous needle bearing issue in my 4runner since it goes away in 4wd. That odd vibration around 40mph. Does anyone know any shops that'll replace it with the ECGS north of Seattle. I'm currently stationed on Whidbey Island. So really anything between Marysville and Bellingham? i could go farther if need be.

 

I can do it. I’m out past Wolley

 

Anyone want a wood 10/22 stock before I trash it?

 

Hope these people are ok. Anyone recognize the truck?

 

Jesus… hope everyone involved is ok..

 

Marked safe. That’s gnarly hope they make it.

 

Well there’s your problem right there…

 

That’s not my problem this one is.

 

And this one

 

How could I forget about this one too

 

Flying back into seatac on Thursday (13th), have two seabags. Anyone available between 1700-2000 that could help a coastie get home? Willing to pay for your time.

 

Are you putting in your own gears at this point or are you just got swapping diffs haha

 

Uhhhh where's the fucking roof!!???!
