Northern Virginia Roll Call

So first impressions on this little guy(MV50/MF1050) are great! I grabbed it at a local pepboys with MIL discount for $62. It came decently packaged and with a cheap but useable storage/carry bag. Its small, compact and lightweight. I aired all my tires down to about 30 psi just to do a quick test after work. I have 255/80/17 cooper st maxx so basically 33 in. It was like a minute per tire if that to get back up to 40. Alligator clips to battery for power and it airs up pretty darn fast. It reaches all four corners comfortably. Didnt move around on my concrete garage floor and was decently quiet. Small enough to mount but i like the convenience of mobility for airing up other stuff or switching vehicles. It got a little warm after last tire so i let cool for a few minutes before i put it away in the bag. The only CON i would say is i wish it had an air gauge closer to the tire for quick reference but i can grab one and i believe attach it to existing hose. Plus i like to have a secondary device for checking just so i have two readouts on air in case one is off. All in all great bang for buck so far and I see no issues airing down to 20 and getting back up to 35-40 in 2-3 minutes per tire if that. I was also considering after quite a bit of reading and reviews the

$240 viair 400p - 40043 portable compressor kit. tire pump, truck/suv tire inflator, for up to 35" tires

viair 400p automatic for like $200 which is a solid price for a good quality compressor which can do other stuff as well. Later on i will probably upgrade if needed and relegate this little guy to the family SUV. I will update more as i get more use out of it and use in varying situations.

 

I hadnt looked at Pep boys.... so I looked online and they had a 15% off promo code, so I went ahead and ordered one as well!!! $63.09 shipped to my door!

 

Nicely done, thats great deal shipped! PEP boys had best deal around and i had to grab some more spray paint and self etching primer for my skids coming in. Man i need to do BHLM but i dont wanna take apart these lights

 

You rang?

 

I was almost crapping myself when I baked mine. Was freakin out that I would melt them or blow up the oven or something

 

ORI struts?

 

It seemed that deals were not their for a grand opening.It seems as if they run multiable seasonal sales during the year and thats their bread and butter I think. They did have 10% off deer corn and lick blocks and feeders though.

 

No have. I have toytec ulk up front (billies and eibachs, but adjustable with spanner wrench)

 

I know this, just thought you had some info on the ORIs for @boogie3478

 

Oh, my bad. Nah never looked into them. I vaguely remember a thread popped up a few years back with info on them. I believe maybe bamf started carrying them so people were discussing

 

Nice color and welcome!

 

What are you guys running for comms? CB, walkies and which brands are working well?

 

I have a

$65 Uniden Pro520XL Pro Series 40-Channel CB Radio. Compact Design. ANL Switch and PA/CB Switch. 7 Watts of Audio Output and Instant Emergency Channel 9. - Black

Uniden Pro520XL. Works well, kinda wish it had a scan function though..

 

Who's ready for camping? I believe I'm still a go. Wife is supposed to be traveling so if no house stuff comes up I'm good. Wanted to get the lift on before hand, but more important stuff came up.

 

What lift? Im off Monday and Tuesday. Can help if you're nearby. It will definitely help with the 5-8" of snow we are about to get

 

Dude I'm so ready to camp!

I was looking at unidens thanks for the heads up.

 

You're coming to Flagpole?

 

I like beer

Thanks! I've already learned a ton from this site. I'm planning way more mods than I can afford! HA

 

@CanisLupus has a set of 5100s w/ 885s I'm,gonna grab
5-8" would be amazing, just for the sake of getting one real snowfall this winter.

 

He is closer than @Me. Projekt Is to me. Once you come up here, we can slap them on pretty quickly. If you want to put them on tomorrow
