Northern Virginia Roll Call

I wouldn't buy unless it went through an FFL for me. I used to have a concealed, but havnt had a need for a weapon lately in the ride so I havnt renewed.

Private sale is convenient and legal. If you wanted it and wanted to go through FFL, then all the fees are on you.

 

That's what I would expect, to me whats $30-35 more for a legit transaction for both people since guns tend to cost a couple hundred at a minimum. Again, this is just what I prefer though unless I am friends with the person.

Let me know what you want to do. I've connections with an FFL guy.

 

at least you can do the easy stuff like a hood light. haha

 

Idk maybe under 100 cause I don't want to ask for too much

 

do you already have a rear recovery point? you could get a a hitch mounted shackle with a lock so you can have the standard 3/4" D ring on your hitch
some ARB EZ tire deflators?
maybe a Viair compressor?
Caliraised flag pole mount?
hood deflector? vent visors?
Hi Lift Jack?
you could also pull an auxbeam / Amazon light bar for under $100

hopefully this helps!

 

Yes.

being able to air yourself up or down is critical IMO... I've been stuck down in OBX because I didnt air down

 

Dude my pops pulled that bowner in his Jeep Commander (ultimate mall crawler jeep). We were at OBX, and I was like pops...you are going to get stuck if you don't air down and you will be THAT GUY. He was like no Im not doing that, its a Jeep, don't worry.

He went like 7 feet.

I was a little embarrassed, but laughed my ass off in the inside while I was helping him air down. After that he slowly got out of there. Old man hasn't wheeled his shit since.

Commanders are those huge heavy things, right? Doesn't sound like a good sand vehicle to me.

 

Yea man that's it alright. Honestly after he aired down he could of cruised around well enough. I think he was so embarrassed as he tried to go back and forth thinking his nifty "off-road" buttons could save him when it only dug him a bigger hole. Finally he realized he was done-zo and had to submit to the son's punchline. Don't get it twisted though, Jeeps are more than capable in the sand with a knowledgeable driver behind the wheel.

I had a gigantic bro diesel 38s when I was 17 and I had a similar thought "pshhh this thing is on 38s, I got this" I literally got the rear tires onto the sand before i sunk like a rock. Luckily, there was a guy that saw my youth / inexperience and pulled me out.

ahh the things you do when you are young to get laid.....

 

Agreed man, we got to do what we got to do to keep the species going. Sounds like a legit ride though. Got any pics of that beast?

then my 2 most recent builds:

2016 Wrangler Sahara (I bought my wife a 2016 4Runner and actually sold this to buy my Taco because I loved it so much)


and my 2006 Nissan Xterra

 

Those are some nice rides, but DAMN that Jeep! Was that hard to let go?

Coot

 

extremely... it was my first brand new vehicle and I put my heart and soul into that thing. haha I had many of hours wrenching and installing everything. I was in Denver and i took a new job in Hawaii and since it was "oversized" they wanted $5k to ship it out here...

I paid $37k for it and put $7500 into it and sold it for $50,000 (Jeeps sell for way more in Colorado haha)

So I sold it, and got to Hawaii and bought my Taco.... but honestly, I love the Taco more than the Jeep (and my Taco is pretty much stock for now)

The Jeep, I felt like I needed to replace everything to get it up to par (crappy halogen headlights with no projector) it didnt have navigation (they wanted $3000 more to add that) so I bought an aftermarket nav system, the sound system was garbage.... I loved it, but it needed a lot of $$$ out of the box to be on par with the Taco in my opinion.

 

Ah true man, when I was in Hawaii with the rents it took forever for our vehicles to get there. Im guessing you must of lived on Oahu out by K-bay? That is pretty cool that you got your money back out of the jeep. As nice as it looks, I wouldn't of thought it was that out of date by modern standards. Atleast you made coin off that bad boy. Think you will miss the "aloha" state?

Hey Chris i have my old one for you

 

Ah nice man! Wasn't sure if you still needed that or not.
