Northern Virginia Roll Call

If I go anywhere up that way, I usually take my wife's accord. It surely isn't going anywhere....just hit me up when you are down here...

 

I fish and freedive VA beach area all the time. I'm sure something could be arranged if and when the need arises.

 

Sounds like Mark (fjfar80) to me. His truck is sweet!

I just looked at some of his build photos and it had to be him.............sweet truck for sure.

 

Ran across this article at work this morning, thought I'd share. I was unaware that the US actually pilled up our old Tacos and shipped them off to countries as "non-lethal aid".....add a machine gun to the back, and bam!

I saw this truck on 495 west heading into VA from MD about 3 weeks or so ago. It was a nice sight. I did get the chance to give the thumbs up.

 

That was me...I usually ride the Express from Braddock north all the way past Tysons on my commute to the great unknown.

It's a Demello Offroad front bumper, custom dual swing-out Brutforce Fab rear bumper (high-clearance with bed chop), King / Total Chaos / Dakar suspension, and Yakima racks...of course with my Softopper.

Hope I didn't run you over...which is highly unlikely since my wife says I drive like an old man.

I think I remember seeing you just inside the Virginia border...black Tacoma right?

I've seen your tacoma on 495 too. badass lookin truck man. can't wait to move closer to my work so i stop racking up the miles on mine.

 

There was a WTF post about them awhile ago with full on videos in the WTF thread - http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/off-topic-discussion/26810-things-make-you-say-wtf.html

 

Nah I was right beside you as you came down off the ramp and I couldn't really see inside because of the tint but I did notice you kept falling further and further behind...... I get off at either Westpark or Jones Branch as I work in between those two. That day I was getting it because I just spent 2 hours in traffic from Stafford and paid $7 to get in the hot lanes so I was milking it for all of my $7! That is one good thing about the little Matrix, it gets in and out of all those little traffic jams like a peach. Tomorrow is a truck day so I will be taking it a little slower and plus I keep my eyes open behind me so no one slams into the still fairly new CBI bumper!

A bunch of vehicles in my neighborhood got egged last night, including mine. In cleaning it off, I noticed the paint was all chipped at the point of impact. Looks like I'm gonna have to get the door painted. FUCKERS!

 

That sucks. A long time ago I had my car parked on the street and the cars got egged. Unfortunately it was July and by the time I found it, it had baked on. It mostly was on my window though so paint was ok. Just scraped it off and was good. Other cars didn't fare as well as mine.

 

Getting egged is still better than getting your window shot out like we had over here in Centreville. About 60+ cars got it with a BB gun. I think you should be able to get that paint fixed easily. I went to Miller Toyota used car lot and in the back there is a guy named Buck (seriously) at the back of the lot and he'll take care of that for you on the spot for $20. He took scratches out of my door (pinstriping) out in 15 minutes for $25 and that was the whole door!

 

Close, dark gray. I was doing my best to make sure you saw my skyward thumb out the window. Thanks for the details on your truck. I'm very slowly getting there.

Great Article!
