Same here. Create an event here and through the Facebook page and invite everyone that follows the Facebook group, include the nwc buy sell trade group members. I'm down for a Milwaukie meetup night, maybe round table? I'm guessing nobody ever goes and checks the forums anymore. If you do the...

I've got an explorer 8.8 3.73 limited slip disc brake near portland if that tickles your jimmies. even have new in box weld on spring perches if interested. pm me or email @ metalpoint_ at hotmail.com

I'm at 4.5 on 32's and my ride is cush. I use rubicon express coils, shackle relocation brackets in rear and drop brackets up front, and ome leafs with a spring removed (dont remember the part number but they were 5.5" before pulling a leaf) and I think 1.5" longer shackles I'm using bilstein...

swapped stats and same issue, tested the old stat and it opens at 195. Just seems odd that two separate sensors are both showing max temps around 160, maybe a grounding issue? I've check with the non contact laser thermometer and the upper hose shows above what the cts does, but not as high as...

So I have a REM (renix engine monitor) that displays the sensor values that the computer sees, so both the cts and the gauge senders are reading around 165 fully warmed up. The radiator is a close-to-oem as I can get copper brass one, cost twice as much as the cheapo aluminum plastic parts...

'87 always runs cold? I bought a REM to diagnose this and I'm stumped. The dash gauge and the signal from the cts show that the coolant only ever gets to 160-170. I put in a new thermostat and tested the old one and it opened near 195 where it was supposed to with no change in the running...

we ran the west side (tried to hit everything west of lyda) the tuesday before and didn't see any snow at all

last weekend in June is the Gambler 500 so no go then, and the Pistons WIld poker run is the weekend before that. I'm ok with september

I've never been anywhere in central Oregon, but Naches would be awesome too. Only went there once 8 years ago.

Opal and I are tentatively in. we have some driveshaft vibes to diagnose on her rig and have plans to hang out with some old friends that night but those are not set in stone yet.

jeeps are all fixed, will be up early am tomorrow

Got Opal's driveshaft dropped off at six states for an extension, they promised* it would be ready friday. Found the source of some of the new jeep noises on the Sexpalace, looks like I destroyed an upper control arm in Moab. I guess you really do need only one? Seems to drive normal-ish still...

How about Woods Point?

We'll be there, small chance of thursday but by friday for sure

Thanks Bob! We couldn't have done it without your help. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk
