North West BS Thread

I won’t ride the light rail here in Portland due to safety and it’s usually faster to drive.

 

Yea, we used to enjoy going to that area for dinner and shops. Nowadays I refuse to take any vehicles or ourselves down there. What's also interesting is we live in a nice area now and definitely not cheap in rent. Im noticing the last few years the decline of quality in people moving in. Renters/owners I asked myself how some are even affording living in these as rentals or even buying. Told the ol lady its time to find another place. I need more garage space/driveway and an office.

We're In progress ridge

 

Man, I feel like I brought the vibe down with my joke. Sorry! My bad!

 

I think it was a good joke, now everyone is just dancing around trying to avoid saying something that will get them the big ban hammer. And that's where I'm going to leave that as well

 

I’m stoked that I am going to have to use my sunglasses on the way home! I might even open the sunroof and crack the back window a bit!

 

Don’t get used to it! This is that tease we get every February from Mother Nature. Then like cruel b*tch she is, weather will turn crappy from late Feb to July 4th.

 

Truth! Still doing this today!

 

Lol. Yeah, we do that dance well here. Shit will get real if we ever get around a campfire with some bevs

Heat to the feet and drop the windows!

That is so true!

 

None taken. I spend way more of my day dealing with the damage that these "people" cause then I would like to. I'm like 97% blaming them and like 3% the fact that there is no real help for anyone that would be willing to take it.

Thats freaking annoying! Fedex and occasionally UPS like to play games. Its almost like if they are to efficient and get the package to you quicker then what you paid they make up for it by sending it to the nearest sorting center for it to get lost for a couple days. Or just leave it on a truck in the yard...and it never goes anywhere.

Those are recycled fence boards. Check CL before paying for them. I found someone that had replaced their fence. So they put them up for free. Picked up all of them. Pressure washed them then cut the rotted parts out. Reposted the stuff I didn't need.
I painted the sheetrock black first in case of gaps, knots, etc. If I were to do it again, I would hang up that OBX stuff, paint it black, then nail up the boards.

 

Here is the thread I started when I started my gym. Its gone through a couple changes. Bout to go through another one soon.

We lived in Progress Ridge before we bought our house. Moved out of there in 2015. Was a nice spot. Used to take my kids for a walk down to New Seasons to get meat for dinner. Tried my hardest to avoid every other part of that store...except for the fresh bread. Their garlic bread is pretty awesome!

 

Is this FedEx? They are so unbelievably bad.

 

Naa, it is some freight company Estes Express.

 

Ha that garlic bread is no joke!

 

So I just had a thought for my low key prelander build. Thought about adding these behind the grill to maintain that clean look. 2 Amber 2 white.

pops has lights on the bumper which does look cool but for some reason I want the sleeper look lol.

 

Happy Friday Gents!

 

Yes, Happy Friday!

Just got my cover delivered. Looks like it was dragged from PA. Fortunately nothing was damaged other than some black paint worn off a hinge. Didn’t even flag it; I’ll clean it up and rattle can before install

 

I like your pops setup. I’m not a big DD fan. If I keep this truck the first thing I’m doing is pulling their fogs and going back to BD. I’ll post the DD ones up here.
I like the SDHQ bulge mounts but seems to be a mixed review on problems after install. I also want clean install so trying to figure out a good combo.

 

What didn't you like about the DD lights out of curiosity?

 

I am tired of messing with the aiming. I had them in and out multiple times when I got them to try and get them right. Then they are kinda loose in their mounts. So to secure them most people will ziptie them to whatever they can so they don't wiggle/vibrate around in the mount. I also have the Pro's and not to sure they are worth the extra price. I will admit the cutoff is much cleaner then the BD.

I had BD wide cornering on my last Tundra, the wife's 4R has them and I like them much better. Her setup is pretty sweet, but she also has the Morimoto headlights.

 

I think the overall tundra fog pocket design is terrible. lol

 

Hey guys, been MIA as I've been flying back and forth to Florida looking at homes. Had an offer accepted for a nice place on 4+ acres, and has a bonus 30x40 stick built shop. Time for a big adventure

 

I don’t disagree with that.

Unrelated I either just realized or it’s new, but SDHQ now has a lower bumper kit. Used to just be DD down their. Again lots of people having to adjust brackets or whatever to make theirs work.
Well had to use the truck for a truck today. Sure was nice not to have to fold down seats or anything.

 

That's awesome, congrats!
New job? Selling your place here too?

 

Any of you PNW guys need a set of almost new 5th gen 4R wheels,tires,sensors?

Will take pictures if anyone needs.

Cheers!

Just cleaning the garage after selling some gym equipment.

Getting after it early this year! Nice work man.

 

Nice. Your truck is CLEAN.

 

Shit yes! I wanna go camping bad.

I’ve got a few people coming to check the wrangler that’s for sale hopefully sell it quick and order more parts lol
