Oregon and Washington BS thread

When my truck was basically stock with the 35x10.5s, I got 21mpg corrected driving to Moab. Now its like 13-15mpg if I cruise at normal highway speeds, worse if I'm doing 75mph+ with the big tares and moar weight

 

Puts me about 13.5mpg, nothing in the bed, 35’s and 3.73’s right now. Normally driving highway and freeway going with the flow of traffic.

 

my 4.56s on 32s kill my unloaded mileage. But seriously help my acceleration and drive-ability when loaded down.

 

You taking into consideration the nearly 15% distance increase you are driving based on your 35s vs stock?

 

No I’m being generous with a 20%

 

They are getting harder and harder to find and the price keeps going up. Sell it and you can probably afford a heck of a truck and camper.

 

Wrong type of Scout. Mine is a Scout Yoho truck bed camper, lol.

 

Great shot

 

Are you taking that thing camping Father’s Day weekend over in Plain?

 

Met a friend through Avants Off-Road at those events we put on at Dirt Fish. He's a photographer and comes out to take pics and to help spot obstacles. We had some downtime and he convinced me to take the truck around the track for some shots. Got some really good ones. Scout used a few of them on Instagram and such (they asked permission at the NWOL Rally). Technically, my friend worked for them at the time, but I met him AFTER I ordered the Scout, and before he got a job there.

 

Planning, too. Same as last year. I think Nicole is staying home though. She has seen everything she wanted to the last few times and was just hanging out crocheting and reading in the camper the whole time. I spent most of my time there actually up clearing trail the day before our trail run. Was fun meeting you out there. Nice to meet folks from on here, I RARELY do.

 

See you there

 

Plain is a location?

 

Plain, Washington. Near Leavenworth, WA. It's the location of the yearly Northwest Overland Rally.

Scratch that... Totally forgot wife and I have the following week off to head to California. Leaving that Friday to head south with the Camper. Still planning to run trail with my buddy Mike though for the rally, just won't be there for the ACTUAL event hahaha.

 

Just renewed Carista to turn off alarms in tundra. If anyone wants to use it we can meet in kent

 

Well I’m afraid the worst has happened. Is OEM the only way to go for head gaskets?

 

Hi all! Making the move up to the Oregon City area from just outside Phoenix, AZ. Anyone know of places to shoot within 45 min or so? Either public land or ranges? I'll be looking into more camping, wheelin, and brews as we get settled up there. Thanks!

 

I went by hand calculation on top of what the trucks computer said to validate. I’m also taking into consideration the tire size affecting the mpg read out.

I have a very minimal lift (~2”), no roof rack or RTT, light weight tires/wheels and my front bumper is aluminum. I also drive like a granny.

it’s like people seem to not realize that the 2GR is a whole .5 liters smaller and more efficient. You getting 13-15 with the 37s?

 

Yep 13-15 hwy with stock gears, in my heavy 6100lb pig
