Seattle Area Maintenance and Meet

I also have a set of rear springs I'm gonna toss here soon. 52k on them. No sag, but they came off an '01, so they're not very tall.
 
Does anyone have a welder or know where I can go to get some simple welds. I am installing a roll cage so I need to re weld front pads on to make it fit. I'm willing to pay money, food, beer, etc. PM if you can I am trying to get it done ASAP because it is just siting at my friends house and his wife is not happy because she kicked it the other day with her bare feet (ouch!)

Thanks!
 
I wouldn't let 4WP install a shift knob on any of my rigs. 2x on Auburn Car Repair and Offroad. Owner is a NW-Wheeler. John Mathews.
 
Anyone know a 4x4 shop in the Seattle area? I'm wanting some rear shock hoops welded on.

Thanks

Also interested in a place like this... Been contacting the local fab shops to get my sliders installed and see about a bumper or two and no one is returning calls.

4 Wheel Parts in Lynnwood

Not sure if serious...

A little outside of Seattle but try auburn car repair and off-road.

I'll be calling them today.
 
Try the guys at Badlands. They'll weld up sliders for $75 flat and I'm sure they'll tackle any other welding project at a good price.

They were the first ones I called, off of your recommendation. No answer, no call back. Have called at least a half dozen times.
 
Olympic 4x4 in Snohomish does that. Further North, I know. In my opinion though, worth it.

Went and checked out the shop Das Mule in Issaquah on Saturday. It's a little expo shop that just opened behind the XXX Root Beer. Pretty cool little shop and nice people. I'm sure I'll spend some money there. I believe I saw [MENTION=95746]richmeyer[/MENTION] leaving in his awesome 4Runner as we arrived as well.
 
Yup! That was me, squeaky suspension and all. I would have stopped and chatted but I'm afraid of strangers...

Das Mule (Mule Expedition Outfitters) is a cool little shop, picked up some quick fist mounts (nice to have a local place for this stuff) and a mini shovel/pick. Nice folks too, I'd recommend checking them out before ordering anything online. They also carry Maxpedition stuff, which is also nice to have local. Its funny, I used to love ordering stuff online but now I'd much rather go someplace and pick it up. :driving:

Worth the visit to check out the shop and more importantly, probably one of the better build Syncro Westys I've ever seen.

Ahahaha. That's really funny because as you drove by I commented to a couple guys I was how absolutely bananas I go over suspension noises. I swear I never listen to the stereo anymore in fear that I'll miss a suspension noise.

That shops cool, I'm looking to get a tent soon, and that TJM they had out front seems like a satisfactory cheaper option than let's say a CVT.
 
I found the source of the squeak and hit it with some spray lube on Friday, took all of a day for it to return. Soon as I have some time I need to pull off the wheel and use some grease. Trust me, it drives me bonkers too. A few months ago I almost sold the truck over a rattle that I couldn't find. Turns out it was a loose mudflap that was vibrating at highway speed. Sounded like it was coming from the dash though. It was pretty close to the best day of my life when I figured it out. I might have a bit of a problem...

"Hi, my name is richmeyer and I'm obsessive compulsive over vehicle squeaks, rattles and vibrations" "Hi richmeyer"...
