Oregon and Washington BS thread

Wife and I just decided we preferred getting somewhere off the beaten path and camp instead of offroading all day. Like I've done a couple sections of the BDR, found a couple good spots along it, and now just make a B-line there, with the shortest distance from the highway. And yes, I know the BDR by no means needs armor or anything.

And with the Habitat gone, fitting on PNW trails can be questionable when you are almost 10 feet tall.

 

Trails are definitely tight. Looking forward to some camping ASAP.

 

Saw the word "Scout" and my mind jumped to International Harvester. So, here I was thinking you were building a badass offroad rig out of something made of steel.

 

Sorry to disappoint! more like made of foam, aluminum, fiberglass, glue, and prayers.

 

13mpg with 285s? Maybe for 2nd gens?

I was averaging 18 city and 20-21 hwy with 285s and armor.

My mpgs only dropped when I went to 35s and regeared to 5.29s. I’m at a combined average of 15mpg and don’t get any better than 16mpg on the freeway now usually.

 

2nd gen here: 6-13 hwy, depending on load and speed, on 32s hahahahaha

 

The windsail on the back doesn’t help…

 

13 is without the camper, lol. I just need to time my trips with the prevailing wind...

 

I know I'm super late to this party, but did he say how long he was going to be running this sale? I could use an awning.

 

That’s why I said *most* trucks. You are the exception not the rule

Although with your claims it makes me wonder if maybe math is not your thing

 

Whenever I hear about unbelievable gas mileage claims I think of my sister's Raptor with the 6.2 getting 21-22 mpg when cruising around 55. Everyone called BS, but it did it time and time again. Until the motor ate itself alive at 8400 miles on the odometer. Lemon lawed it (had many issues) and got a new Raptor with same motor. 15-16mpg like all the rest now!!

 

My truck barely saw 20 when completely stock and driving like a grandma

 

Best I ever got in my Taco, when still pretty new was 21.5. Strangely that was pulling a small trailer with a quad and a dirtbike, with another quad in the bed. it was heading down from Elma down to Sand Lake, all slow driving, most of it along 101. I'm sure it was just the fact I wasn't lead footing it everywhere.

 

I filled up this morning and was thrilled I got 15 on the last tank (adjusted for speedo error). My light has always come on at 220 miles and takes about 17 gallons at that point

 

Yeah, kinda figured that was what yall were walking about when I saw the picture.

 

Dm me.

 

O I thought that light was an indicator letting me know I just drove another 192 miles

 

I ended up reaching out to him on that facebook post. He had a few awnings left but still has a ton of tents.

 

I have a new ARB 2500 (8’) never opened that’s available...I already have one on my Lmimited and love it...in Port Orchard

 

192? Yikes!
