Oregon and Washington BS thread

We're doing a mini-meet at red robin in Auburn WA (by the supermall) around 7 tonight (Saturday) if anyone is interested.

 

I'm in Medford. I love it here and i moved here a few years ago from Ouray, Co. I dont see (personally) any kind of crime (I read about it). I do run into the occasional meth head, but i chalk that up to the population and living off the i5. I am in East Medford in the higher end ($) part of town. If you do get down this way there are a few of us in our group that get out and go wheeling, fishing, camping, skiing, just about everything you can think of outdoors. Look me up.

 

Took off the factory... rock deflectors? ... not much of skids at about 8lb for both total.
Took the anti-sway bar off too, f$%*'in twisty bastard.
After an oil change, The epic Tallon skid plate goes on. I suspect the net difference will only be around +40lb or so.

 

Is it just me, or did my truck lift about 1" up front by just removing the sway bar?

I just measured to confirm it too.

You just measured, so you tell us.

I'm not convinced, my driveway is rather bumpy and truck was was moved..... might have a new fancy flat one by fall. ... so no I didn't just answer it ..

I guess the real question for clarity would be... for those who done it, did you see that much change too.



Update, its about 1/4" or a slight bit more after a bit of driving and bouncing in a nearby field, think I just needed to get it to settle in. Added sway is hardly noticeable w/o the bar.

 

I'm going to say it's you - easy up on the gas there, McQueen!
You can get the back loose in KM2s and Bighorns, too. There's no weight back there and a good deal of torque. It doesn't help that you are turning, either

Great job with the vid! Is it just me or does Ben drive it like he stole it?

 

I blame Gary. He's a bad influence.

 

I hear they're working on a Go-pro group buy for next time.
Next meet is No pro, then no go.

 

Love this. Some guy just rolls down the dangerous streets of Brazil with a big, "Ain't nobody got time for riots - I got beats!" Funk ensues!

The best part is at 30 seconds where he just stops the cart and strikes a pose.

Wow. After watching it, Mike, I feel like I missed out on a flashmob on the bad side of town last night. My fav part is where they dance in unison with their facemasks still on. Drink a bit much Sat nt? : )

 

Heyy. Don't blam me.. lol. We drive the same. Dclb crew..

On a side note. how far u live frm edgewood?

 

Haha, Tallon and Will know what's up...Longer wheel base means longer....umm....gas pedal
