Oregon and Washington BS thread

Anyone got a lead for reputable audio and/or upholstery shops in the Seattle area? Got HAT and Katzkins that need pro install. Thanks.

 

Hmmmm he could just give me the 4runner and I'll find I'm some thing with more lift...

That works right? Hahahha

 

hey guys any chance you guys could shed some light on places with wood trails and cool things to see and visit? I plan on going to Oregon and Washington this summer from san diego on the 101 all the way up. I have a list of lakes and such to visit but I now most of them are centrally located which is okay but is there anything on the coast? Any good trails?
Sorry for a SOCAL thread member to post on here haha. Any advice is welcome!

 

Somehow I don't think he'll go for that deal.

I got him to realize he should have got the trail edition instead. After he had it shipped from south Carolina.

 

Welcome man! There are so many places to see here I don't think you could name them all. Ocean shores, Wa/Astoria OR area is nice if you want to spend a day by the ocean, drive on the beach and all. Here is a good site for a lot of the trails in Wa http://nwjeepn.com/WAtrails.htm we frequent Gallagher Head Lake in the summer, easy but fun trail and very good views at the top with lots of camping.
There is TSF (Tillamook State Forest) with a ton of wheeling trails of all variety just west of Portland. A lot of forest service roads can get you to the top of mountains and get you good views, just have to know which ones.
Funny Rocks/Moon rocks is a really fun place to go in Washington too.

When do you plan on coming up? We will definitely organize at least one camping trip for the time your up here with other TW members.

 

Oh awesome man! Ill check those spots out online! I plan on coming with my gf and camping along the way. I have to buy a shell and some extra recovery gear before hand. I think we're leaving may 21 right after school and my birthday, driving up from san diego camping in big sur, visit Yosemite, and head up to washington where Im not sure were to set up camp for a night or so to go visit some places and lakes, spend like 2 days going around there then go to oregon and do the same before trying to come back.
Oregon - Sparks Lake, Witches Castle, Mount Hood, Pittock Mansion, Opal Creek Wilderness (Three Pools)
Washington - Picture Lake, Cape Flattery, Gothic Basin, Lake Wilderness, Rodney Falls, Battleground Lake, Lake 22 Trail
Are some of the Places Ive seen online but have no clue if they are anywhere near each other ?!

 

That's the beauty of a part time job, I can bail on it when I get the $$$ for the truck.

 

I am hitting Seattle in September, don't know about Joe. This September, I will be running it with my brothers, both older and younger. Sounds like my older bro already set up a team and he has a bunch of people from his office that will be on the team as well

 

Reach out to New Creations USA for the upholstery. He may have a guy in Seatown. He is based in Vancouver WA, and BC, but does work in Seattle. If you reach out to WA, Dave Stone is the MAN. In BC, it is Rob Shimmin. Dave reconditioned seats in a vette my pops owned, and they looked like they just came out of the show room.

 

Right on. Thnx. Definitely willing to travel for good work. Plus it doubles as a bit of vacation and chance to explore somewhere new.

 

Witches castle to Pittock Mansion is 1 hour by foot. Google map it to get an idea. Note that it's a pretty steady descent from Pittock, so either
1. go back up the hill
2. park another car at the Macleay Park entrance. Pittock -> Witches -> Macleay is 2hrs by foot.
If you don't have the opportunity for two cars or wish to cut out the uphill hike, explore Pittock by car and then drive around to the Macleay Park entrance and get to the Witches Castle that way.

Mt. Hood is like a couple hours east, and if you are doing some sort of hiking, it's for serious folk with ice axes and all that. If you want to head that way but do a normal person hike, try Ramona Falls.
Some other notables that may or may not make the list:
Devil's Punchbowl
Ashland Shakespeare festival (if you do the culture thing)
Rogue Brewery
Jake the Alligator Man (tourist trap, but sort of a fun one)
Tillamook Cheese Factory
Florence Sand Dunes
If you like film locations, try Brownsville (Stand By Me), Cottage Grove (Animal House), Astoria (this might as well be a second Hollywood). Not much to do in the first two, but gives you some old timey small towns that not all states really enjoy.
Bridgeport Brew Pub
Tugboat Annie's in Olympia (rent a kayak, have some food overlooking the bay)

 

The wife grew up in Oly, so Annie's was a staple. Great place.

 

so, orders finally came in, still waiting to find out what city i'll be recruiting out of but I'll be moving up in the area mid august

 

You'll like the scenery a lot better than Oklahoma

 

I know I will. But, we get some pretty awesome sunrises/sunsets out here, especially during tornado season lol

 

Not edited at all. Can't remember if @AWilson013 or I took this

That radiator looks beefcake and I've been having chronic issues with my pickup running warm...

 

Anyone know a place that will charge shocks with nitrogen? Just rebuilt my Bilstiens and can't find anywhere that will do it.

 

My garage. Also most motorcycle/atv shops have Nitrogen setups.

 

Dude thanks for the heads up! I definitely have some planning ahead of me! I wanted to have a shell to camp in by the time I do this trip so maybe I'll wait till winter or next summer so I'm prepared better. Looking at a Rtt in the group buy for now tho!
