Seattle Area Maintenance and Meet

Im down to do some sort of a trip, I think we should have some sort of a T4R Spring meet? Who's down? I can help set that up in people want to do it/ something not too complex, like a bbq meet up or maybe even go on some sort of a trail.....?

We have some climbers here?! :reddance: How about white water runners??? Maybe some of us could do an outdoor weekend and really have some fun!

Maybe we make an all 4runner trip over naches

I'm looking to do some wheeling this summer, and i wanted to see if you guys have any ideas for a first time wheeling noob like me to try out! My 4runner is stock and will be till probably july until i get a lift and some bigger tires.
 
btw, does anyone know where to get a good deal on used tires? Deal's on aftermarket bumpers?
I would be down for something, I like the BBQ and trail run idea over for a Spring run. I only have a 3inch, 32inch and soon a front bumper so it would need to be something on the milder end.
 
Went out to the coast and played in the sand yesterday during the last clam dig. I had fun lots of people stuck in the sand, pulled a couple out. Still wanting to do a meet soon
 
No... Unfortunaly my wife was taking pics and she lost her phone somewhere in the sand we looked for alkost two hours before we left... Some awsome pics of me dragging mini vans out

I honesty would just buy new. Mathematically, it makes sense. When you buy a tire, you don't use 100% of the tread. Lets just say for arguments sake you use a tire till 20%. If you buy new, you'll use 80% tread. 1/2 tread tires might sell for 1/2 price, but then you're really only getting 30% of useable tread, and that's not even the best traction for mud, etc. You might do better financially to refresh the new tires at 50% anyway.
 
thanks man! this actually makes sense

man, I droll while reading the mods that people on this thread have as their signatures.... I wanna see some of these rigs soon!

I'm actually going to be up in Mazama off and on all summer working on a film project. If I'm up there around then, I'd love to meet up!

This sounds quite appealing - if I get the truck fixed after the Moab damage, I'll be in.
 
ok, well.... sounds like seattle 4runners are going quiet:

The guys from Gitout.com are already going, and some extra 4runners would be nice:

I propose - Naches - August 24-25 - overnight camping, bonfire, bottle tipping, and wheeling
