Oregon and Washington BS thread

Looking for closer to 3000sqft

 

Any specific reason for OR aside that housing is more affordable? You're also paying income tax there. Which is why sole reason why vancouver exists lol. You can still find some decently priced houses there with property.

 

I always enjoy driving thru Sandy. A really nice town!

If I was a longtime resident of rural Damascus, I’d imagine watching the suburban sprawl coming down the hill from Happy Valley was like watching lava flowing from Kilauea towards your village.

 

We still have to look around a bit and get to know the area. My wife just really liked the areas that we mentioned. She also liked west linn and lake Oswego but there’s no way I can live there.

Yes that’s exactly what I said to here about the urban sprawl. My good friend lives in the Hawthorne Ridge subdivision and Damascus is right outside his Portland neighborhood. Sandy seems more like the place we want to be

 

You've got plenty of people giving their two cents, so I’m gonna go pound sand.. but one more question first...

Have you looked into Canby? Nice area. Not as cool as Sandy, but friendly and just big enough to have the necessities. West Linn and Oregon City are only a few minutes north.

 

Regardless of where I live, I won’t be living in Multnomah County lol.

We looked there, wife didn’t like it regretfully. She kept saying the the Japanese school she wants our kid to attend was a far drive. I have no clue clue where the school is, I think it’s south East Portland. I’m letting her pick the area cause I get to pick the house. So I’m just going with the flow.

 

You can always join us down here in Salem.

 

Witches man

 

Aint no polar-rollers in Salem!

 

Troof. But State's got a few things down here for ICS literate peeps. Or it's closer to PDX than you think (about an hour in good traffic)... or roughly the same as Tacoma <> Seattle in meh traffic.

 

hey guys, i have an ongoing driveline vibe issue.
had a block lift, then switched to deaver springs, archive hangers, and an 8.4 with 4:10's and a trutrac. sweet! then i had mid travel kings installed. vibe issues. driveline tuned at drivelines northwest, vibes. bought a digial angle finder, measured, thought i was only 2* out and installed 2* shims. VIBES, still. bought a tracbar soon to be installed by my man @JimSnell . need feedback. do i get the angle perfect before tracbar install?? i totally trust jim to do ace work as he has for me many times. but we are both treading new ground as i mod fast and aggressive. any help or guidance would be fantastic. currently i think im within 1* but have bad vibes 0-20mph. slight after that.

 

I think you have two options.... Take out the batteries, or turn it off.

 

Got another cortisone shot in my knee today. Holy crap, that needle was huge with no anesthetizing. Puncture wound is about 1/16" long.
Also gave me a shiny new walking stick.

 

Honestly, a Trac bar is just a bandaid to vibrations and doesn't solve the real issue. If you're having wicked axle wrap, then a Trac bar would be beneficial. Where are you feeling the vibrations? Steering wheel? The seat? At certain speeds or rpms? Are you still running the 2 piece drive shaft or did DLNW set you up with a one piece? Did they phase the drive shaft correctly? Have you tried different wheels or tires? Sounds like you've changed everything but the wheels and tires. If the wheels and tires are the only thing that stayed the same, I'd try to rule those out by running a different set to see if anything changes.

 

I didn't see U-joint or carrier bearing in that list.
I replaced my carrier bearing with the Inner Empire one that is poly, not the OEM rubber one that cracks.
Also, when replacing the carrier bearing, I was diligent on making sure the phase was correct by using my daughter's Hello Kitty pink finger nail polish to mark alignment lines. Once installed, the squealing of the u-joint was clear as were the vibrations.
The 3rd member u-joint at the pinion was bad....ovaled… blocked... yeah.

 

This carrier bearing

IEDLS

 

That would have been next on my list of amateur diagnostics depending on if he's one piece or 2. Also if the carrier itself has been shimmed.

Do you know how long I've been trying to buy a poly carrier??!!!!!? so long that I gave up. I've read several threads on them but all links dead ended.

Do the 1st and 2nd gen share the same CB?





I'd like to think if he had dlnw build one for him they used new and quality ujoints so I'd hope they are good. Ujoints can be deceiving some times. They look good from the outside since the caps can be fine, but the needle bearings and shit housed. You don't know until you remove it.

 

the links are dead but the website should be active = here

 

Bob, buy mine! It's from the original IEDLS group buy. I never did anything with it. Still have it, still in the box.
