Old County Buffet by the mall has a nice room that can be reserved. We had a family get-together there. It was nice an quiet and well lit. Plus everyone can pick whatever type of food they are in the mood for. Unlimited ice cream

Not too wheelin' related, but a rant.
I have taken Chinese take-out from Double Dragon Restaurant on Clearwater for years. That is my tithe to the wife when I go wheeling, camping, hunting, etc. Good food cheap, friendly. On Sunday, Chris went to pick up our order, called in well in advance. They were busy and were obviously overwhelmed. Chris did not complain, but people coming later were served 1st, they seemed to have lost our order... The young lady at the counter vented her frustration to Chris, saying, "Maybe you want my job? Here, you can even take the tip cup."
The young lady was lucky that I was at home watering my yard, because I would have picked up the tip cup and walked across the parking lot and bought burgers at Wendy's.
I called and talked to the 'manger.' She said, "Oh that was Lisa. I heard her say it."
And she still has a job?

Okay, we're a little crazy to have a Duramax for a daily driver. But if we go off our meds, we might wind up in a Prius.

Barefoot Off Road... They are over in Everett, so not exactly local, but in relative terms they are. Owner/operator, Theon, is a straight up class act. I ordered some parts online, he personally called me to let me know there was a back-order and gave me a list of OTHER VENDORS that he had already contacted on my behalf, along with their prices. Customer service DOES still exist
Yep, I've wheeled one of those, too...

what is this "customer service' you speak of?
I've got to put a word in for Peter and Charlie with Armor Performance Coatings in Richland. They do powder coating and high heat coatings. Have a super nice shop, give great advice, are super easy to work with and produce a great product. They are growing, so please send some business their way. You won't be disappointed.

Gotta say it's good to have a RV Mechanic as a Peakputter member.
So my plug is for the Trusty Wrench RV Doctor.
I've been wanting to convert my Motorhome for years to golf cart batteries, but the carriage underneath would only fit one 12v.
Paul stopped by and yanked the carriage out, took it to his shop, modded it to fit 2 new batteries, while still using the existing mounts. Had it all back together in no time. Great service, Thank you.
He stocks batteries too!

If your looking for an oddball fitting to adapt a p/s system, hydro boost, or brake part they probably have it. They had all the parts I needed to adapt the hydro boost I'm putting in my bronco.

Upholstery / Sewing Work
Having had the misfortune of ripping my rear softtop side window out of the YJ while wheeling at A&B. I found myself in need of a vendor to sew back together the vinyl window and the zipper assembly.
My wife found a great vendor I thought I would share with you all:
Final Touch Upholstery
8336 Gage Blvd
Kennewick, 99336
Victor Gomez, Owner
509-783-5002
http://www.finaltouchupholstery.com/
They resewed the window and zipper assembly while she waited, Whole 15 min and charged us $8.00. She had called several other shops and they all wanted $40-60 for the same repair.
They get two thumbs up in my book!!

U Pull It Yakima
Go there, buy stuff.
I walked out yesterday with a full XJ switch package, a new antennae, and everything I need to put cruise control on my Jeep for less than $20.
Nice people too.

I'm doubling down on the Final Touch recommendation. I just went over to see Victor because a zipper was separating on my new soft-top. He came right out- I'm sure he thought it was a 5 minute job. 1/2 an hour later and some mods to the top and we were done. He refused to bill me, so I left him with some doughnut money for his crew.

I'll give a recommendation to Firestone over on Columbia Center. I finally got all my adjustable control arms in as good as I could. I figured I'd get the arms dialed in and aligned as well. Norm did a great job getting everything dialed in. Hes a perfectionist and has owned a few Jeeps including a nicely built Cherokee that he had out front.
I also bought the lifetime alignments about 5 years ago which I definitely take advantage of.
The Jeep rides better that it has in a while, can't wait to take it off road in April.

They should lock the doors when they see us wheelers come in to buy the lifetime alignment.

Yet another plug for Final Touch.
I took my lower driver's boat seat in with a tear that has been growing for the last few years.
Because our boat is 23 years old, Victor said he couldn't match it, but he would try his best.
I think he did pretty darn great!
