North West BS Thread

I'd be down for that. I'm out of town for work the week of 9/19. Other than that should be good I believe.

 

There's also another Toyota meet Sept 3 Warrenton Oregon.

 

There's a chance I may be heading up to Bellingham near the end of the month for work. I'd be happy to be the mule to get them down closer to the Columbia River. I've got a set (might be the same ones in Black) already.

 

some good news

Man I gotta remember secret Santa this year as I missed it last year!

 

Here we go gents. Finally got the video from the LT install. Builds come a long way even from this point.

Awesome! That's great you have that portion documented for you or a future buyer.

 

Yea it’s awesome. Maybe do a follow up once it’s all painted etc. I actually had someone offer $80k for the truck last week. I’m enjoying this build too much.

 

I-90 around Cle Elum was a nightmare this afternoon due to a big rig fire.
You see any of that? @Green Thunder

 

Great weekend here at Trillium lake. And of course y’all know I had to hit a few trails while out here. Lol. One trail was a good test of the new lower shock mounts and wheel spacers. The new update has fixed the clearing problem I was having rubbing the rear shock and fenders. Hope everyone had a great weekend!

 

Not me, but I saw it am sharing with y'all.

That would be cool. Let’s chat if your plans firm up for a trip this way.

. Just got back today. Took Hwy 2 both ways. The fire smoke in your area is pretty bad today. At least starting at Wenatchee

 

Officially got the last load out of Portland this weekend. Good luck to those still stuck in the Metro while I was enjoying this beautiful afternoon. Now the real work begins.

 

38 hours on the road for a 1 hour meeting. Bring back zoom.

 

Holy chit…seriously!

 

Yep. Left for PDX at 7am yesterday. Made it to hotel on east coast at 10pm. Worked til midnight. Up at 7am today. Worked until meeting at 11am. Back to airport and worked until flight out at 4pm. Back home at 9pm tonight.

Pre Covid I did this kinda trip 8-10x per year. This is second one this year and that other was like 46 hours for a 1 1/2 hour meeting because of major travel issues.

Both on United. I would like to curse them but not really sure it makes a difference.

Face to face is the way to go. This meeting went great and no way we could do it via zoom. But I miss zoom convenience.

 

Yeah, I did red eyes in and out of the Dominican Republic last month for a four hour meeting. Best solutions are often face to face conversations, but the grind is real

 

The problem with red eyes is I have to drink too much to tolerate. Kinda works coming back from Maui on a Saturday night. No Bueno for business meetings.

 

Lol. I’ve stopped drinking when I fly, other than maybe a glass of wine on the return flight. It takes me too long to rehydrate and I get headaches now for a host of reasons…don’t need to add another trigger

 

If anyone needs some Ironman parts probably have some sales going on lol I’m going to stop by and check it out. Let me know if anyone needs me to grab anything for you lol.

 

Their bumpers are tempting…still kicking myself for not jumping on the huge sale they had last year when opening the new shop.

 

@Explorer - you need a rear bumper?

 

Hello all. Went to start the truck last night and couldn’t even unlock the doors. Battery dead.

With a company car it ends up sitting for a week at a time (or more) so I was trying to be good about starting it every week. I must have missed it last week. New Interstate from Costco back in April so hoping if I charge it it will be okay.

I think my Trigger controller is draining it down so going to investigate a circuit breaker I can put inline to switch off when I park it for a while. Anyone done anything similar for any of your aux lighting or other devices?

 

What size feed does the Trigger use (how many amps)? In my recent wiring project I was going to use circuit breakers and then went a different route. I’ve got a 100A and a 120A that I could save you some money on

 

In-line fuse is 100amp. If the 100amp breaker needs a home I would happy to give it one. Let me know what you thinking on price.

Are there any issues with having a breaker and fuse on the same line? Rather than cutting the harness I was thinking I could connect the current cable to the breaker and then make my own cable to connect between circuit breaker and the battery.

 

Can’t think of any issues - you’d be double protected.
I’ll PM you

 

So how was it? I’m on their email DL and if they have a big sale this fall I might jump on it.

 

It was packed. Met some new people, they have a sale on now 25% I think. I’m heading to that other meet this morning at sunset beach. Hopefully hit some dunes while out

 

Nice. They seem to have a 25% sale a few times a year. Hoping for something bigger! I could get behind their front bumper and winch…

 

Well damn. Might have found part of my battery issue. My terminal on the end of positive connection for the Six Shooter came apart.
