North West BS Thread

I can't spell, so don't copy me lol

 

Thanks. Even if I don't find any, going to be hiking with some friends so it will be a good trip regardless.

Best hunting show there is by far. Steve reynella is a awesome hunting advocate.

 

Yes. I've sort of hacked together an updated EWD for it. Need to do the write-up on my build thread, but need to head to bed tonight.

 

That’s the right way to do it. Let me know how it goes again once you get into your routine with it!

 

Any of you recommend a place to do a level/lift in the Tric-Cities, WA area? Most places I talk to push the Rough Country Strut as I wan more than just spacers. Was thinking Bilstein 5100 in the front only but places say “their” suppliers cannot get them and will not let me supply the parts. Appreciate any input.

 

5 acres knocked out by 8am. Came back to bacon, eggs and coffee.

 

Good luck. I don’t know anyone in that area unfortunately. I will say that the Les Schwabs in my region do not have the skills they used to. They have buggered up jobs on a few of my previous vehicles and I’ll never go back. If I was to do anything, I’d leave my truck with 4 Wheel Parts. But as you know, it is often less about the shop and more about the crew doing the job. That’s hard to flush out. I hope someone will chime in here with actual experience.

 

Ditto on Schwabs, wouldn't take my truck there if it was free.
Loose lug nuts and hand tight shock bolts are too common.
Sorry, not familiar with any Tri-Cities shops.

 

I was hoping it was an anomaly to my area. Would love to do business with them since they are a local company. Nope

 

Nice! I used to mow the pasture and yard at my mom’s farm before she sold it. I always loved it. Kind of like therapy seeing the result of what I was doing.

 

I like it too, pleasing to the eye when it's done.
Excellent time to think about the day, or just zone out!

 

Twas a good day in the driveway. Got my rear brake light fixed (I broke it), installed the tailgate lock, inspected my spare tire and increased the pressure and measured where I need to cut my Desert Eagle catalytic cover to work with the TRD skid plate.
Plus added a few accessories to the Corolla… whew

 

Drive out to Franklin High School (Potland) this morning for my wife to do some workout with her “class” - never realized how BIG that place was. Then we cruised out to Hood River for some chicken and pork and then back to the house. Gonna have chops for dinner, got the chickens cut up and into the freezer, and now (re)building a “mister” for my chickens for when the weather is hot.

 

Just saw a brand new lunar rock crew max on the back of a truck headed to some lucky person south on i5 near woodburn Oregon.

 

Have you tried Creo Chocolate? They make their own, starting with the raw cacao beans.

 

No morels. Way to dry for this time of year. But it was a good day anyways. Dogs had a blast.

 

Damn that blue is sexy.

 

Hard to miss that's for sure! Buddy found me pretty easily.

 

Looks great! I can smell the wet dog from here!

 

Smelt more like mudd then wet dog actually. Once it dried it flaked off of them pretty well.

 

PSA: Hammocks might be one of the worlds best inventions. Especially after a dinner of wood fire pizza and a few hard ciders. Enjoy your evening everyone!

 

I was thinking the same thing!

We don't see your Pro enough, love your setup @jewsNbrews

 

thanks. I need to take more pictures is what it comes down to.

 

Flight is definitely quality stuff.
I forgot to talk to the wife. I may just order some more and not tell her

Im not sure of any other shops in the same category as Flight. However, if you haven’t been to Papa Hayden’s for dessert you need to go check that out. Pre 2 years ago I would only go to the location in NW off of 23rd. I’ve been going there since the late 90’s before I went to Western Culinary Institute.
I love their stuff so much I told my wife they were without question making our wedding cake. She agreed.
They have a second location that’s not in downtown also.

if cookies that are the definition of “Extra” are your thing then check out PDX Cookie Co. I need to get some of those as well. My daughter has a soccer tournament next month on the Couve side of the river...maybe I’ll grab some and take them to @RainMan_PNW for hooking up the last Flight order.

How about Ironman? As for installing maybe one of your Toyota dealers? The vast majority of them in Portland sell/install their lifts.

We have no complaints on the 4Runner.

 

Wow. Just wow. Beautiful. Now that is a dog park! Looks like a great time.

They really are. Naps in hammocks are spiritual.

Got down to my buddies house and he notched up the cat cover so it should work now. Getting some rattle can drying on it now. This shield also covers the tranny pan. Nice to have extra protection there, but I’m going to have to watch the tranny temps closely now.

 

Look like it’s at lithia Toyota of Springfield if anyone is interested

 

Almost certainly already sold though. For the past month I’ve been calling all the dealers in The PNW and these trucks coming in were typically claimed 6 months ago.

I finally found one (double cab) in Minnesota because someone changed their mind. On the bright side, I get to drive it back to Oregon with my brother.

Hit me up if anyone needs anything picked up in MN, ND, MT or ID and brought out west in early June.

 

Wow, that’s a haul. Have a fun road trip.

 

Happy hump day folks!

Last call for chocolate. I’m going to pick up my chocolate (and wine) Friday afternoon. Please PM me if you have an order you want delivered.

 

Gonna pass on this go Stu - looks like we'll be up there that weekend anyway.
