Seattle area 4Runner Meet Up anyone?

[BigRyan1986]

they do insurance. But I figured...Free BBQ would be a good incentive to do a quick meet.

Ah. I would love too, but thats one hell of a drive for a free burger lol.

Hi All,

I recently purchased a 4runner and am looking to get some work done to it. unfortunately I have no mechanic experience and have 2 torn shoulders from my previous life as an athlete. Because of this I am unable to complete even the simplest of tasks that require my arms to be lifted for an extended period of time.

I'm in the Seattle area and looking for reputable shops to help me out with suspension lift and any other mods I decide to do. Nothing will be too crazy but my plan is :

Strut and shock change,

Light bar/ additional lights ounted and wired and buttons placed in the dash.

Skid plates installed.

That's all I can think of for now.

Thanks for any help!

Josh

Contact [MENTION=117663]alaskafisherman[/MENTION] He is a member on here and one of my buddies. He doesnt have a shop but is semi-self employed doing mechanic work and other things.

Since it seems the 5th gens are getting antsy from being stuck in the garage and not being on some trails. Lets plan an easy trail day. Any takers? Lets come up with a date and time and place.

He does good work. He custom made coil overs for his 3rd gen. I think he has pics osted in this thread of when he did it.

Thinking of doing part of the WABDR in a couple weeks. Anyone interested?

I might be interested. I think I'm pretty booked up through the rest of July but maybe early august if you could wait that long. What sections are you thinking about doing?

Id be down to check that out when are you thinking about doing this?

Open to whatever section, 1st week of Aug probably makes most sense to me. My 4runner just took a shit on the way home so got to sort that out now.

Yeah, could probably do a 3 day weekend. Anywhere from Bethel Ridge to Lions Rock is most convenient, and also the most scenic in my opinion.

What happened to the Runner?

One of these days I'll wear you and [MENTION=63487]A.Wilson013[/MENTION] down enough to get you guys out to the coast. Headed out there in about 30min actually...

 

[busmup808]

We should camp @ the beach. I'm down for that any day! That way I could surf with Hepar!

 

[BigRyan1986]

Im not a surfer but the wife has been wanting to hit the coast for some camping. not sure whether she wants to go to Oregon coast or Washington coast. So I'd be down for something like that.

Ill talk to the wife and see whats up. We could probably meet you on the 7th. Are you going to ocean shores?

 

[K2Runner]

Anybody know this rig? Spotted in the Safeway parking lot on Monroe.

Speaking of taking the 4runner to the coast. Where are some good spots to take it off road/beach combing?
Anything in Washington or Northern Oregon Coast?
Looking for something more family fun rather than hard core.
