Northern Virginia Roll Call

My brother's bringing his Ram but he's working this weekend. So next weekend (25 or 26) is looking good.

 

That's cool man, I'm generally more free on Sundays but I good with whatever.

And of you guys know a good welder who could weld on some sliders and possibly make some other stuff for me in the area???

 

31''-32'' tire cover for FREE. Getting trashed at the end of the month if no one claims, been holding onto it for too long

Also please let me know if you see this bike somewhere in Northern Virginia. Guy on Reddit ("k20AzAk" for my reference) had it stolen from his secure apartment parking in Fairfax.

Black CBR600RR with flush mount front turn signals, fender eliminator, and scratches on the right front fairing.

i do alot of welding if you need anything done. i can also help you out with that lift

 

I went with a

$200 PL8540 Pop & Lock – Power Tailgate Smart Lock Combo with Bolt Technology for Toyota Tacoma, Fits 2005 to 2015 Models (OEM Color Black, PL8540)

PL8540, no complaints after almost a year.

 

So I'm flirting with the idea of painting my brake calipers red this weekend. What do you guys think? Good idea? Corny? Too ricey?

 

Some left an overturned shopping cart in my blind spot and I clipped it with my tire. Good 2-3" gash in the tire. Anyone know if I can swap the spare tire onto the aluminum wheel?

 

Yep. Should if it's the same size. Get under there and read the sidewall

 

Red calipers. I have my rotora 6 piston aluminum red calipers. But wanted the grey. Keeping the red clean is painful. Your vehicle. Customize away. Make sure you remove them from the truck, clean them 100% with heavy degreaser and wire brush. Then paint with caliper paint. Local auto parts store sell it. Might look into a high temp gloss/ clear coat too.

 

I'll be doing a ride a long with my buddy in your area on Monday...I would see if I can stop by but I don't think you would appreciate a cruiser in front of your house

I need to double check the tire model and size. From a quick glance they look the exact same. I called Toyota and they said that the tire is only meant to be used as a spare.

 

The spare on my '14 is exactly the same as my stock TRD OR tires.

 

They may only be saying that since the steel spare wheel is not meant to be used for long periods, the tire shouldn't be different than your stock tires. Unless there's some dry rot or similar problem from sitting outside under the truck the whole time it's been built?

I work on cruisers all the time finished up an 80 series recently. Swing by, I'm always home.

 

Police cruiser

Lol, that changes things a bit!

 

I'm not stressing it. The local fire chief has been stopping by to say hi lately. Trying to get him to fill my SCBA tanks.


Just keep the camera off and we are good

 

Spare was the exact same as the regular tires. Switched it to the aluminum rim. Picked up a used tire for the spare, turns out they had the same model as the stock tires.

 

Excellent
