Northern Virginia Roll Call

One in Sterling off Nokes was good when I got my and my brothers rear bumper.

Fitting two high clearance rear bumpers with swingouts in a short bed was quite a feat

i have been back a few times. You can tell her you know the guy with the white Tacoma. I think she remembers. And she wants one herself

 

oh wow. I bet! I dont think I'll have any problem fitting a lo pro streamline bumper in a short bed

 

ive seen a rear axle fit in a short bed.

 

lol apparently the notes worked and the UPS guy delivered my lift. he apologized about yesterday he said he was off and there was a substitute driver.

he laughed at the notes and actually moved the lift into the garage for me. the wife said he started asking her questions about the lift and all that

 

Good shit man!

 

my UPS guy asks me what all the heavy stuff I order is too haha

 

soooooo excited..... kinda want to take a day off of work and just install it. haha but my dumb sister had to be born this weekend. haha

yea he seemed like he was genuinely interested and he commented on the 4Runner and all that to

 

I was going to say you dont see many lifted 5th gens around here.. but Ive seen 3 recently. Very weird. One dark blue one with front and rear bumpers

 

yea man, the wife got complimented so many times "tell your husband that his 4Runner is cool" that she made a sticker and put it on the back window that said "Hers not His" (even though I bought it for her as a gift when we had our daughter.)

 

Wait she got a 4Runner as a gift for having your daughter. I'm having your next baby

 

hahahaha nice... yea she was driving some tiny VW Jetta, and I told her I would feel better about the baby in a big tank of an SUV and so I bought her / us the 4Runner for her "mom-mobile"

and she pretty much knows I have to lift / mod anything I own. haha

 

hey man.... found this on Youtube... thought it might help you

Someone had showed me something like this when we talked about this a few months ago in this thread, but I am still weary. There is almost 600 pounds of pressure in those springs...a lot could go wrong. I think I am just going to have @DOUBLLD take care of it for me. Much quicker and safer.

 

let me know when you want me to do it.

 

ok cool!

 

Hi every, I'm new to the quantico area and I was inferring if anyone knew of any good off road shops. I'm looking to get a lift, wheels, and tires for my taco. I appreciate it

 

If you are looking to get a lift installed, several members in the northern VA area can help if you want to DIY, or @DOUBLLD has a shop in Sterling and is reasonable priced, does great work too.

 

are you looking to get one INSTALLED or to BUY it?

I would suggest buying your wheels / tires online

For your lift, I would suggest Calling, PMing, or checking out @HeadStrong Off-Road and talk to Marie... she has the best prices / customer service around

and we are installing my lift, wheels, and tires not this weekend but next if you'd like to join / watch /meet some people.

 

Thanks for the info guys. I need to buy one and I'm looking to have it installed so I'll probably talk to @DOUBLLD. Do any of you guys have a 3 in lift or more? I stuck between a king mid travel and an ICON. Over all I'm looking for a 3" lift to fit 33's with minimal rubbing. Do you have any any suggestions?
