One more from Wa, Woodland area
I am in Tacoma now but I am from Woodland. Not many people know where that is at.

Dogboy,
Have you guys been getting together lately? I think I fixed all those tranny problems I was having and want to test it out after i get the one-piece driveline in this weekend.

Me and Derrick had a few over the summer, but no TRS meets.

Check out the December 20th Tahuya Meet thread though! (a couple threads below this, title Winter meet, or something like that)

I'm from Western WA too. All over, Maple valley, to enumclaw, to kent, now in Bellevue. HAve to say i prefer enumclaw to bellevue, but going back to college meant i had to live closer to civilization :(


(PS, I'm in the market for a steal of a donor explorer or ranger to do a 4.0 swap. This is probably bordering on illegal in this thread, but if you have any leads a PM would be appreciated. I'm a college student and broke so when i say "steal" i mean STEAL :))

Damnit.. I had a whole post typed out and the the internet crashed...

Are you from Enumclaw, or what? I've lived here all my life! Just driving through Bellevue I can tell I would hate it there.

Anyway, I have a '94 parts Explorer, but I'm pretty sure I am keeping the motor, becuase it is basicly my spare incase I hydrolock mine, or just plain destroy it. It also has a few miles on it.. (213k miles)

But if you need the wiring harness, I have that, which you could have for pretty cheap. I don;t think i cut any of the main harness, although I did cut some things, like the wires going back to the manual tranny.
I think you'd be better off getting the parts elsewhere

I'm not sure if I have posted it before in this thread, but I'm in Enumclaw.

I Actually only lived in Enumclaw for about a year, that was just where my family landed while they looked for a house buy after we came up from Long Beach, Cali. , then we moved to east kent/ maple valley.
Bellevue isn't actually as bad as i thought it would be, I live in an older neighborhood though thats not just abunch of cookie cutter houses like the new ones, and every house in on 1/4 or 1/3 acre lots :shok:(big whoop for bellevue lol) but i still prefere maple valley.
I really like the penninsula. Thats where I hope to land permanently someday (Although the job outlook for aeronautical engineers doesnt look great over there :annoyed:)

I think I'd rather get a whole vehicle for an engine swap, since I've never doen one on RBV's before I would like to take lots of pictures and label everything correctly in the original vehicle first. THanks, though!

The peninsula is cool, that's where I'm from mostly (after living in AK). There are lots of yuppies on Bainbridge though (where I'm from).

Yeah, that's kinda what I figured you'd want. It can be a lot nicer because you can have a chance to see how things come out, before you destroy your daily driver...
