Northern Virginia Roll Call

Depends on the inspector. You are not allowed to have more than four forward facing lights (2 headlights and 2 foglights) uncovered per VA law, not inspection guidelines.

I've had some inspectors that don't care about my lightbar, the last guy I went to gave me shit and wouldn't pass me so I just loosened my bracket and rotated my lightbar 90* up.

I think otherwise he still would've been dumb about it but I was getting pissed since he told me it had to be covered with a plastic cover. I told him to show me in the inspection guidelines where exactly it said that, he spent like 10 minutes trying to find it so I just told him I would rotate it and he reluctantly agreed.

Tech any light that can be turned on while your high beams are on have to be covered

 

that's kinda what i was thinking. like no need to bother with foglight anytime mod because they are required to cut off when you turn on your highbeams

 

my baby girl the firefighter

 

I go past there all the time Chris! My parents can probably see it from their house

 

Good info! I should have stated that I have two PIAA fog lights and two PIAA driving lights as well as the light bar on the roof forward facing. Fog lights are on top center of the bumper while the driving lights are recessed in the bumper. Both sets of PIAAs have those cages on them (rock guard?) that may be considered covers. I don't know. My light bar doesn't have a cover, so I guess it is inspector prerogative. I am moving to led lights for the bumper (1 set), but they're not dot approved (I had a problem with inspection about that before)....so....I guess I'll take em off before inspection!

 

So I got in the mood to do some work on the truck. So here is where it's at.

 

So pretty....

 

That thing looks like a monster.. Can't wait to see it all finished

 

me either lol.

 

played with truck a little today took it from this


to this

 

That looks great! How did you color match it? Where did you find the paint?

 

Finally got my front windows tinted.

 

Plastidip? Looking more like my truck now

 

yep just plasti dip if i like it i'll buy a white grill or just keep it like it is. what did you do sell your bumper

 

This is an old picture. I love my bumper!

 

i figured as much after all your still building

 

So I test drove a 2016 today and I'm just not sure about it.....

And no surprise the dealer tried to lowball my trade in ($20,000) so I walked and he asked where I was going and I replied to get some KY as that would hurt if I didn't.....

 

i test drove several and in the end liked my 13 better some of the interior features were nice but it felt too big to me oh well to each their own

 

Yeah unless he calls me back with a reasonable trade in I won't be going back....
