Northern Virginia Roll Call

The Advance by me said they stopped doing it. Bastards.

 

Yep

 

Well maybe we can do that tomorrow if you are back in NOVA!

 

Any one going to that toyota takeover thing?

 

what thread??? can someone link me? nothing is coming up no matter what I search...

 

Ill be there

 

I did already! Go back 2 pages

Or search "ebay bumper "

 

I didnt see it....

and i found it.... turns out I was accidentally searching in 3rd gen forum by habit

 

Search using titles only. Ebay bumper

 

yea I found it... luckily, someone posted some cliffs notes....


and I actually had one of their bumpers on my JK Jeep and had ZERO issues... in fact, my "smittybilt" bumper gave me issues before the KO offroad...


I might end up picking up one of these things..... then we can test it for ourselves

 

Yea...im prepared for it. Gonna be doing the dual battery in front before bumper probably and that will help a little. So I dont really want to have to do it all over again.

 

headstrong doesnt recommend 886s and the Bilstein 5100s.... does anyone know why??? (they arent even on the list to pick a coil)

 

How many people did you run off the road?

 

Hopefully none

 

Marie told me yesterday that they dont recommend it because they havent had a chance to test it out for themselves. People are running them and she hasnt heard of any failures yet but until they have time to confirm it for themselves they wont recommend. Cant blame her for that! She said the only issue she could see would be if they could handle the weight that everyone throws at the 886 coils. Doesnt know if they would hold up to it. Im gonna give'em a try though, and then when the weight gets added gonna add spacers to get me back to 3". Oh and you have to contact Marie to get the 886 coils.

 

@boogie3478 il be back in Nova around 6:45

 

nice! please let me know how it works out, I'm debating on going w/ this setup if I snag a 2nd gen..... I just was thinking about using them for a bumper, winch, and sliders... I'm fine w/ 2.75-3" ish of lift....

 

Well i decided to go with toytec. There entry level, build it yourslef kit isnt much more expensive than ome and 5100's. I ended up getting talked into the toytec ultimate (which also was only slightly more expensive) . Hopefully i dont regret my decision

 

What do you guys use to wash your trucks with ideally after taking it out and it has maybe excess mud and dirt on it anything special?
My tires have a dry gray look to them after i got done with them at the car wash i had a buddy suggest spray 9.
