Oregon and Washington BS thread

It was a good weekend. For those that were invited and couldn't make it, there will be a next time, but 400 miles and three camps in three days required a pedal to the metal pace that at times felt more like work than play. Next time we won't throw the lasso so wide, and maybe some of you dudes can make it for the next one.

 

^^

did you hit up that crash site?

 

We didn't really have enough time,(it is close to the NV border) plus it was smokin' hot down in the desert and everyone wanted to get back into the woods.

 

My daughter is 6, turning 7 in August, and I have had the truck since she was newborn with no issues. Granted, I'm 5'6" and my daughter's mom is about 5'8"-ish and we've had plenty of room.

 

Golden Valley Brewery, tonight 6:30, informal Tacoma owners meetup. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/greater-portland-area-meet-thread.363783/

 

Tomorrow night!

We are going to start doing this the first Wednesday of every month.

 

oops, my bad, thanks Spoon!

 

So who wants bad news? Ok so I've put 700 miles on my LCE Pro Clutch. Still chatters like a bitch. Still sucks. SO. I called LCE to give them an update (they've been super helpful). They said that my clutch should not chatter like that at all. Its not a freaking crazy dual comp racing clutch. I was worried it was my flywheel. O'reilys took two passes off of it because it was warped and even then a small amount was left untouched. What they failed to do though is realize its a *stepped* flywheel. That means they needed to pull the dowels and grind down where the pressure plate bolts to the flywheel. The step is supposed to be 20,000 of an inch difference. Well they ended up taking 20,000 of an inch off only the main flywheel surface. So now I have double the recommended distance. Apparantly that's really bad and can burn up my clutch and is the cause for my problems. So I'm going to need to buy a new OEM flywheel since I don't want to eff with this one anymore. This sucks, the clutch guys suggested I do it before Moab and think I should go raise hell at O'reileys. Opinions? Thoughts?

 

Quit fucking around and do it right. Then go beat on your truck until you are old and fat and forget about it. Mine has been in there for ~7 years or so. Not one problem.

Yeah I'm replacing it now. But with OEM or possibly something heavier. I definitely don't want a light weight one.

 

I have a spare factory clutch disk if you need it.

 

If you had a flywheel I'd be all over it :/

 

Little brothers 94 reg cab 22re 4x4 was stolen last night... Scappoose Oregon. Has a large dent under driver door. If you see anything on craigslist please let me know.

 

Anybody from baker city on here?

 

Close, I live in Pendleton and am from John Day

 

Anyone in the Spokane area willing to check out a ride for me? Or thoughts on this. Hopefully no one poaches it.

I would get on the road right now and go buy that if I were you. You could flip it for $5K+ tomorrow if it's not your thing. Things to look out for and ask questions about are the head gasket (I'm sure it's been replaced with those miles) and the Pesky Heater Hose repair. The other thing to inspect is the knuckles up front. A little grease is normal, but if there is 90 weight oozing out you know it's time for seals and bearings. At that price, if it runs well and isn't barfing oil everywhere it's a great deal.

That is awesome!

 

I've emailed them. I'll see if its still available.

 

Cool man! There's some pretty country up here! We're carrying some tube to Portland and stayed in baker city a couple nights. You ever check out barley Browns?
