Oregon and Washington BS thread

HA! Stupid mirrors...still need to replace my passenger one...

 

So I started making a template to turn one of my cubbies into a sub box. It finally hit me, I have the walls cut out, why not use that expanding foam stuff to cover the floor and walls and then sand it down for the proper clearances for whatever I build the box out of? Should be far more accurate and easier to get to hug the cubby floor than cutting and taping construction paper, right? Then I would have a badass template if people showed enough interest...crank those babies out!

 

Hello fellow Northwest-ians!
Just got my first taco over labor day weekend, and figured i would introduce myself.
I also have a '90 toy as a wheeler.
This looks like a nice group of guys!

 

.........AWESOME

and welcome

 

Welcome and when you wash your truck I recommend getting the turtle wax ice liquid wax and detailing products they made my truck look awesome

 

Welcome Justin! We have a cool group of guys 'n gals up here (as you know being a fellow NW'er)

We have some meets every once in a while, so be sure to check this thread and also the NW WA Meet Thread to see if anything is going on near you.

 

hi Justin!

 

Welcome to TW. Are you in Eugene/Springtucky area?

 

Hey guys, advice time -

My friend is looking heavily at an '03 F150 4.6L auto. Anything to watch out for on this year?

 

Ahh, now I understand Portland

Gat damn hippies and their bicycles

 

Yes. Watch out for the 4.6l motor. It is slower and more gutlass than my 11 taco with the 2.7. A friend of mine had one that was DCSB with the 4.6 and auto. After I helped another friend move with that truck, he dropped me off at my car of the time (90 Camry 2.0 manual) and we raced, truck warmed up and my car cold. This was also something like November, so temps were about mid 30s to mid 40s. My cold Camry was still faster than the warmed up truck. Also, the torque convertor on it had to be replaced about 2 years ago. The truck belongs to my friend's mom now who babies the thing. I am telling you, spring the extra money and get a truck with the 5.4 not the 4.6.

 

That just made my night complete. Thank you, and remember to always ride in the bike lane.

I have been a bicyclist on the road before, and I can honestly say that it can be scary on roads, and people driving cars and some of the bigger trucks (like 3/4 and 1 ton) can be some farking idiots as they swerve toward people on bikes.

 

Isn't it funny how when you're driving those bicyclists are fxing nuts!
buuuuut
when you're a bicyclist then those car drivers are fxing nuts!

lol that always cracks me up whenever I switch positions and think about that

 

Haha, good for him. He should come to my neighborhood and hit all the joggers in the bike lane

I dig the Handsome Boy Modeling School track too

 

Ya, im in Springfield. Looks like your Eugene?

And I agree with portland, hate driving around up there!

 

The thunder and lightning last night was crazy! Kept me up most of the night.

 

We're JUST getting that here in northern Seattle

 

Live in Springfield/work in Eugene.....only reason I come over to Eugene
