Oregon and Washington BS thread

air down if you find yourself having a hard time. dont drive in the water.

 

sounds easy enough. thanks

 

Ben, you're a genius. The hairdryer worked perfectly. No more dent

 

take a shovel with you. if you start to dig into the soft sand, dig out trenches that you can get a little momentum up before trying to climb out of holes.

 

if you have 4wd you dont need to air down. Of course if your not feeling confident your welcome to. Also stay out of the water and try to.avoid wet sand. The salt content doesnt cope well with vehicles.

 

Don't forget your offroad permit and a flag!

 

Hell yeah man, good to hear. I realized my phrasing was a little confusing in my post, I hope you weren't banging on it with the hairdryer

 

depending where you go you might need a flag or offroad permit like Moe said, other places you just have to stay on x side of the sign.. bullshit LOL

 

good to know. ive got 4x4 on 285 duratracs, just don't have any experience on sand.

Thanks guys.


Also anyone in the Portland area know a good place to get a topper. I have a best top, but looking for a hardshell.

 

Watch your speed I believe on beach it's 25mph.

 

Bump, anyone?

 

Joe, first check where the water mostest from. I take it the seal from the fan exit isn't solid. Depending how much water danger their is you either A) need to replace a large chunk of the sheetrock/drywall, or B) if their isn't much water damage make sure leaks are fixed and ample time to try. Then patch the hole.

 

Damn phone changing words. Don't pay attention to my errors. Stupid phone!! Lol

 

Do you own the house or rent? If you rent, call the landlord ASAP, as it will be their responsibility.

First, you need to determine where the water is coming in from. Most likely a vent on the roof that you may need to seal/re-tar.

Next, determine how much of the ceiling is damaged, and make sure any load-bearing wood isn't damaged or rotting. You will most-likely need to cut out the damaged area, since it won't simply dry out. You can use a Sawzall to cut the damaged sheetrock and replace with a new piece and spackle it up.

I don't have much experience with home repairs, but I hope this helps a little bit. Good luck.

 

Ben let me know when you are buying/installing those lines. I'd like to do the same

 

Accessory Outfitters in Hillsboro

I didn't read it like that. I read it like "heat your plastic up, take hammer to inside and push out"

 

Thanks guys, I did a google search and it looks like a pain. Maybe I should leave it to the professionals

 

Always a good idea. Especially if you don't know what you're doing

 

if you do decide to fix it yourself, make sure to get out all the wet sheetrock and any insulation that got wet. even after insulation dries out, it loses its insulating value. any sheet rock that got wet is liable to get moldy, and once that is in the walls, it is bad news.

having the vent resealed professionally isn't a bad idea. fixing the drywall is easy enough to do on your own if you want.

 

Went out and played in some snow today
