Northern Virginia Roll Call

It's basically a piece of reinforced tinfoil that sits above your catalytic converter. I had the dealership replace mine twice, and after it started rattling a 3rd time, I just ripped it off.

 

yea, I'm in the same boat with school.... and between that, and looking for houses.... I'm spent.... luckily, I just sit on TW at work. haha

 

Did you get bars on yet?

 

no, last night we went and saw 2 houses in WV.... 1 new build and that house I posted on 1.5 acres..... we liked the new build house part, but didnt like the neighborhood / area that much..... and the house on 1.5 acres, I loved, and the wife is kind of "meh" on....

so we'll see...

I probably will wait until this weekend to do the bars... I still have to find time sometime this week to go drop the truck off at a tire place and get the new wheels and tires mounted / balanced

 

Has anyone looked into long range fuel tanks made in USA? I know there is a place in Australia that does them, @Wild Crow. Got one, but there has to be

Plus it has a low spot that likes to collect mud/water/slop.
I'll do some more investigating once the truck is back and moving.
Plus after finally calming down about it, if I just get the check and have the fender area fixed, it's only the corner of the bumper I can live with it like that for 10 weeks.

 

Sounds like some mods are on the way!

 

want me to look at it this weekend? i can drive it and put up on a lift to see whats up

 

That probably isn't a bad idea, may have to schedule it for later in May though, my schedule is kind of packed.

 

let me know

 

Catalytic converter heat shield?

 

what size wheels/ tires are you trying to get mounted and balanced?

 

17x8.5 +0

Guys i got home at 1:45am. Drive home wasnt bad. I left at 6, and did all the stops. I didnt go over 55. Still have 250 more miles to break in the rear diff, then to change that oil, and im good.

 

have you already gotten a quote from a shop?

 

Good to hear man, I bet that was a bitch of a drive. Hopefully you were able to make it fun in the downtimes. Just cruising around town now is the easy part.

 

Dude... full time job, and taking 4 college classes at once right now....killing myself! lol

 

nice man! glad you made it!

So I need my TPMS sensors pulled out of my stock wheels (and regular valve stems put in them) (which I already have the valve stems)

then install those TPMS in my aftermarket wheels and mount / balance my new tires

and I've gotten a few, but it looks like the frontrunner is $160

 

I had to catch up on sleep. I think i got 3 hours total. Remember, i left at 11:30pm on Sunday, after working for 12 hours too.

 

ouch. yea I am in University of Phoenix full time and work full time with a 1 year old.... I totally get it

but for both of us, it will be worth it in the end

 

so 160 for mount and balance and to swap the sensors and install valve stems?
