Northern Virginia Roll Call

But if your interested in doing an alignment feel free to call us, my name is Nathan

 

will do. I usually go to High Tech in Chantilly. I could go to Manassas too. @quis23 is probably familiar with you. What is your price for an alignment? If I remember correctly, around $120?

 

Dang, I now have to drive to drill in Charleston, West Virginia because the airport is closed because of an airplane crash today. This blows!

 

That is correct

 

Nice pun!

 

who doesnt love a turbo s2k

 

what airport? Dulles?

 

No the airport at my base

 

That would be crazy if Dulles closed

 

@Sand_taco I may be calling soon. I replaced my UCAs, and now the wheel is to the right. I wouldnt think there is that much adjustment with uniballs.

 

Sounds good, just a heads up, im not gonna be at the shop tomorrow so if you call youll talk to daniel or freddy, just tell them you were talking with me on the forum

 

I will probably be calling next week. Have some other issues to work out first. And I am working this weekend

 

I say forget all that stuff and invest in some SKIDS. No night rides at rausch so lights are not a priority.
You can borrow a hi-lift on the trail if needed. cb is fun, but again not a necessity.
Also , make you have a tent or other sleeping arrangements.

Yeah Ptuning is right down the street from me.I remember all the VW guys would take their cars there. I never knew you guys messed with trucks though. Next time I go to Heritage Brewing , I'll pop in for a visit.

 

I wish, soon though.

 

That sucks, but there are worse drives to make. Turn that frown upside down, if you have to drive head through Seneca Rocks on 33/219 it's an amazing ride and awesome views.

 

At least you weren't on the plane...

If I'm being honest, skids arent a priority for me since I tend to stay on lighter trails or pick the easiest lines... I'll eventually get a large front skid, but other than that, I dont really plan on getting a FULL set of skids

CB would be more important on my personal list than skids (since I've literally been stuck on top of a mountain alone and a CB would have saved my ass) and although night runs are prohibited on Raush, what if we are stuck or in a recovery? I'd rather have lights (especially since they arent expensive... we are talking $100 for an entire ditch light setup and another $60-$70 for rock lights....

but I can understand where youre coming from... they are just really expensive as well.


on a better note, I took some new measurements yesterday on CV angles and I am satisfied with everything so I wont be running a diff drop or anything, but I think after driving the truck 500 miles since the lift, I will do an OME Carrier Bearing drop since when I take off I am getting a slight vibration for the first 1-2 seconds that I take off from a stop and I can tell its in my rear driveline

 

Don't venture off any green trails then. I went with stock skids and did some blues as well but I ended up dragging my y pipe since it's the lowest hanging thing on the truck

 

this is going to be you @Me. Projekt
