I could for parts!

Anyone want to help out a friendly Oregonian? I have a TRD supercharger just sitting waiting to be put in. I can help with install......and by that I mean pay someone to install it. ;-)

I could make a weekend trip out of it and bring it up there.

Can I take you up on that?
Looking for some rotors!

I'd be willing to help you out.

What's the info on the supercharger? 1st or 2nd gen? 7th injector or no?

 

[Funcrazy1]

Anybody want to help me out with doing my upper control arms? I will be putting in the spc UCAS I really don't have tools as I live in apt building where we are not allowed to work on cars in the parking lot

 

[eplanajr]

Just wondering if anyone has a cherry picker (engine hoist) i could borrow.

I would take care of it, return it promptly, and pay in a craft beer payment.

 

[Bennythbeaver]

Its a 2nd gen. No 7th injector. Its a Lego set. I bought the supercharger with a few bolts and a dynamic tensioner. As soon has I bought it and had it in my hand I knew I wanted everything new for it and not used bolts and what not. I bought the install kits, dynamic tensioner, belt brand new. I think i have all minus gasket for supercharger to intake manifold.?

Quick question for the locals running projector refits: any trouble with the law?

I recall reading some anecdotes about the state patrol being particularly attentive and aggro here, and strong (well aimed!) headlights are something I'm interested in with all the night and winter driving I do.

So many great examples here on the forum, too.

So im thinking of a change of trying to set up a meet-up trip. Im thinking a camping trip after a 6-7 mile trail that is said to be "easy". Here it is. Fortune Creek Trail

There are a couple more "easy" trails located close to this one and a couple "more difficult" trails are located in the area. Im thinking to head out next weekend the on the 20th. Any takers?

I won't be able to make that. Stock trucks with decent Tires can do that trail all the way up to Gallagher Head Lake. After that, the trail gets more difficult but still doable. There is a hill climb all the way up top at the end of Mine to Market that not everyone will be able to make up.

Awesome thanks for the info. I think we are going to stop at the lake considering by the time we get to the lake that will have already been about 5-6 hours of driving

We just did this trail this past weekend and it's in very good shape. A very very stock sr5 Tacoma made it up and back down with no damage. I did have to winch him up one hill... I have no idea why though. I am confident (positive) he could have made it with a bit more effort.

The only "obstacles" to speak of are a big mud hole right before the lake that anything with 4WD will have no issues getting through, and right after the lake if you decide to do the hill climb, there is a pretty deep hole on a fairly steep turn. Stock vehicles should use the bypass, which may still be a bit tricky, but doable.

There is NOTHING on this trail that can damage your vehicle if you don't drive like an idiot.

Here are some coordinates for you...

Gallagher Head Lake Camping area.. (Tons of bugs, do not recommend at night) 47.442072, -120.979149

Hole Stock Vehicles should bypass... 47.442084, -120.982352

Good camp site #1... Can fit 4-5 vehicles, but not much space for tents. 47.440867, -120.988186

Good camp site #2... Easily fit 10+ vehicles. There is a spot with softer ground for tents to stake into... Was VERY windy at night when we stayed here. Incredible sunset view of Mt. Rainier with a big cliff behind you that had some sheep on it last weekend. 47.439586, -120.995067

Awesome thanks. I think we are going to camp by the lake. Not sure i guess we will see when we make it out there. My runner will be the only one with out a lift but it did fine at elbe hills a couple weeks ago with just some 33's on it. Hope it will be fun and ill invest in a big thing of bug spray

None. Wsp are quite professional from my many experience.

As [MENTION=74071]Brilliant[/MENTION] said, I have had no issues. Drive like an adult and you'll be fine.

I have no front plate, mud flaps not big enough, flares not big enough, illegal tint, and probably some other stuff... I've not been pulled over.

That said, I go the speed limit, use my turn signals, yield, etc.

 

[0xfded]

Great, thanks guys. Helps firm up that project plan.

 

[PandaRescue89]

I'm gonna have to check that place out, all stock 4runner 4wd.

I went out to slate peak (north cascade national park) the other day. epic views. Subaru's were up there with me. so easy trail.
