Oregon and Washington Truck Spotting

Back on track with a potato quality photo fit for TW.

Sweet 1.5st gen on 522 in Lake Forest Park

 

Spotted in Woodinville

 

Spotted this Rebel scum in Bothell on BEH.

 

Shit, you'd go broke trying to mock up an 87" piece of plywood first.

 

Seen multiple people alluding to this lately... are we talking plywood being up 25% over a year ago or something nuttier like 300%?

 

used to be $9 a sheet now is like $55

 

GEE-SUS!

 

I was in the Issaquah Home Depot a couple of weeks ago and saw 3/4" for $103 a sheet, I'm not sure what it is now, needless to say I didn't buy any. Even the 4x2 "project boards" were $25 a piece.

 

Plastic is also way up. I go through a ton of polycarbonate for work and it's impossible to get reliably and expensive. The plastic I used to build my drawer was ridiculous

 

yeah, the plywood i used was like $50 or around there. where did you get the plastic for your drawers?

 

I went through my commercial account for the PVC board, through Clear Cut Plastics, the starboard was through Tap Plastics.

 

which one did you use for the top platform?

 

Starboard. It can take an almost limitless amount of abuse. The pvc foam board is strong and light but easily damaged throwing stuff into the bed. Both were almost 4x the cost of wood though

 

Got any interest in this piece I’m trying to unload?







Smoked tint, radiused corners, beveled edges. Plastic film is still on both sides. I bought it for a camper window and the place cut it 10 inches too short. I have literally nothing to do with it.

 

Sorry, I only use the real thin stuff, coated .060 for boat windows. I saw you had that and tried to make up an excuse/project, but I got nothin

 

No problem. I’ll probably use it for something eventually.

 

North Albany, Oregon

 

Ok, I'm sick of you chumps not spotting me...

Do you wanna play a game?



I've been toying with the idea of playing a version of capture the flag. I'd create a new thread for this, but basically...

I'd start by mounting this flag on the bed of my truck.




It would be mounted in a way that it can be easily removed by hand. If someone were to spot my truck, parked with the flag, they would "capture" the flag and put it on their own truck, until it was captured by someone else.

Of course there would be rules, like you have to make it easily removable and allow people to take it, if they spot it. Also, if you previously had it, you can't be the first to take it back.

I think it would be fun to see where this flag ends up, and possibly track its progress across the country.

If this is a stupid idea, feel free to shit all over it. I won't take it personally.

 

I like that a lot. But I have no clue where I'd put it to be easily removable

 

If you don't run a tonneau, I'm thinking a clamp that grabs onto to side rails... if you have a tonneau, maybe fold it up until someone captures it.
