Northern Virginia Roll Call

Yeah we did a big event October of I think 2014. It was a pretty cool place but semi-expensive.

Trails ranging from basically dirt roads to rock gardens. You can pick the trails you want and bypass certain parts also.

Looks pretty cool, seems like you get a lot for the price of admission.

 

That looks like a lot of fun!

 

Anyone have a spare driver side tail light (LED version) laying around they're looking to sell? I cracked mine and need to get it fixed so I can pass inspection.

 

Ouch. How bad is the crack? Did they already put a failed inspection sticker on your wind shield? If your tail light isn't leaking you might just want to try taking it to any Korean-owned shop ... they tend to be very lenient on inspections.

 

I know of a shop that you could try. Took my old car there when the LCAs needed bushings and you could move the wheel.

Theres a gas station at Nutley St and rt29. Called A K Auto

 

Less of a crack, more of a hole. Reverse light is under water. Haven't gotten it inspected yet but inspection is technically overdue on 4/1 lol

I'll be out of town/out of the country from next Wednesday until the 25th for my wedding and honeymoon so I'm debating just fixing it and getting it inspected when I get back. I won't be driving so I shouldn't get a ticket for expired inspection parked in my apartment parking garage.

 

Can anyone recommend a good alignment shop that understands the LR UCA's. Looking to do some more tweaky to get my numbers exactly where i want. Thanks

 

High Tech Truck and Auto in Chantilly. Very knowledgeable, but a little pricey. $140 for the alignment

 

I would not go to Hi Tech anymore, go right around the corner to GTPeace one of their old Toyota Techs is there now and much better quality and pricing. I got an alignment at HiTech first and it was shit, then found out about this dude at GTPeace literally same shopping center but down the street and much better way more real and down to earth and quality. Just my two cents.

 

Any thoughts on Firestone's lifetime alignments program? I was thinking about doing that, pays for itself after two trips...

 

If you are not lifted, do it. If you are, I've found those ships are retarded when it comes to "custom" specs for alignment numbers.

Matt

 

Never heard of them, but I'll give them a try next time I need an alignment. I've used Hi Tech before and had good results, but cant stand the price.

 

Yeah, that's what I was wondering about. I'm not lifted at the moment, but will be eventually.

 

I scheduled to go see them, They claim knowledgeable with the LR UCA's

 

They did my alignment in 45 min. And helped answer all of my noob questions

 

I am not the biggest fan of trusting a shop to answer any NOOB questions, I am sure they love new guys with money and big dreams and ideas rolling in there with no clue about anything. My experience over there was I waited almost 3 hours (busy day perhaps no biggie) but after they aligned it to what they claimed was way better than the specs I requested it was rubbing like crazy. They said the only solution was a CMC. I took it to another shop and they quickly put it on their rack and said the alignment was WAYYYY off the tech even called his old buddy from there (since he used to work there) and said dude what is this shit. I dunno that was my experience. The new shop aka GTPeace that was I mentioned not only beat Hi Techs alignment price but also were way cool and genuine in my opinion. Hi Tech sees lifted trucks all day everyday and doesnt care about a personalized experience in my opinion that place is getting too big for their britches. But again hope others have good experiences wherever they go. That was just mine. I wont be returning. No time for that. also this was a very recent experience on my 2016 they had not had according to the mechanic that was working on my 2016 a single 2016 in their shop yet.

 

@DOUBLLD you wont go, too scared. LOL. we are gonna go and camp out and bring the pew pews's for some outdoor time at their range.

 

Lol. I don't having anything to go in lol

 

dude you can be my co-pilot/spotter and fire starter at the camp site. LOLOLO im only kidding but seriously you can ride with me if you wanna roll.
