Seattle Area Maintenance and Meet

Hey, so when's this snow wheeling thing happening? Getting a lift soon and a hi-lift tomorrow! Need to see some snow. I'm hopefully getting my rig out of the body shop soon, so I need to scratch this itch for adventure soon!
 
We're not going down to Oregon this weekend so Saturday/Sunday will work for me! Plus Darkie3495 (4th gen guy) is up for some snow wheeling too.
 
Alright so we have potentially 5 trucks going. That's enough for me to want to go personally so let's finalize the details. Who is in for sure and where and when should we meet?
 
what time were we thinking about meeting up? I really want to go, but I have to work at 5 that evening. so if I can be back in Woodinville by 4:30 that would be awesome. but if not then I'm out. :/
 
i might be in on this, fireroad snow run?

need some chains... maybe find some out when black friday shopping

forest pass?
cb?
novice?
 
I'm going this Saturday for sure. I haven't used chains before in snow but a flat nosed shovel always came in handy.

I believe we'll need the forest pass.

CB, not required but very handy.

Chains, YES!

Shovel, YES!



QFC might be a good spot to meet?
 
What weight of chain would you recommend?
Looking at some Laclede Alpine Sports

local fab shop

Anyone know if there are local fab shops?

I would like to get something like this front bumper replicated. I like this bumper a lot because it doesnt look as massive as many plate bumpers since it sits so close to the vehicle. I'd drop the winch an inch to be able to put a piece of removable plexi on top, and also add a couple holes for some small fogs.

I've got no experience with them, but I see their stuff on CL. Maybe give them a call to see if they'll do something custom.

Toyota Tacoma, 4runner winch bumper kits

way over priced and idk its kinda sketch if you ask me... i talked to the guy about building me a back bumper, and he didnt want me to come out and talk to him in person about it(kinda hard to have someone build you a custom bumper if you never see them or they never see the rig in person, idk maybe its just me), he wanted the cash up front, then stopped returning my calls. im just happy i didnt hand over any benjis. the one bumper i have seen made by them(saw it a few weeks ago), i would not trust with a winch in it... its all 1/8 and just reenforced mounting holes. he is charging a premium for what hes offering i think. -and i live down here, youd have to drive at least 2hrs one way to get stood up lol

Well, there you go. But that's IF you want to take the word of a guy who took FOREVER to lift his vehicle AND rolled around with a front brush guard for even longer. :moon:




(just in case you couldn't read the sarcasm, I'm totally kidding. I would take his word on it for sure)
