Because We're Not North Enough To Be NOVA, We're Just Stuck Between the North and the True South

Blakey ridge in madco we stayed on the main trial the whole time but there is a bunch of trails that will take you all the way across the mountain towards Harrisonburg and Cville.

 

I thought it looked familiar. I understand now your going to have to get a sticker to go there. Like $50 a year but hey free camping and only like 35 minutes from home

 

hmm haven't heard anything about buying a pass. My dad goes up there a lot and he said as long as you have a hunting or fishing license then you're allowed to be up there because you can use that as like your "fee/excuse" to be on the trials and yeah it's pretty nice only being 30-40 minutes away.

 

It's supposed to be a new thing just starting this year.

 

Playing in my backyard I see. Haha That trail looks like it has gotten better than it was 8 months ago.

 

Sitting at my kids Boy Scout camp for the week and wanted to play with the plasti-dip. Anyone who's done this, do you have to clean the area first? We are in a gravel parking lot and way in the woods so not sure if I can clean it or not. I could use regular water but that's about it.

 

I used some rubbing alcohol to help clean mine up but it had been waxed recently. At a minimum try to wipe off the emblems a little to help clean the surface prior.

 

I did my grill and emblems recently and read through the whole plastidip thread before hand. One thing that kept coming up and I made sure that I did was surface prep. The cleaner the better. I used acetone after a good washing to get rid of all the road oil and grease. I was happy with the results.

I know it's probably not what you want to hear but I wouldn't waste my time messing with it unless you can get your surfaces prepped right.

 

I did the grill on my truck no prep at all just taped it up and sprayed it on haven't had a single problem with it peeling or anything.

 

Okay thanks guys. I think I will try and do just the grill emblem and see how that goes. I will take it off and prep with some soap and water as much as possible here at the camp. Worst case it doesn't work and I pull it all off and start again later.

 

Anyone have access to an auto salvage yard? I'm looking for a dash wiring harness for a 2013 (or so) Honda Accord. Don't ask.

 

That's the beauty of it. Give it a shot, if it doesn't turn out, get rid of it and hit it again!

 

Well, step 1 is done and that was the most nerve-wracking. Taking the grill off without breaking any tabs, which I do but a small piece so hoping it doesn't affect anything. I also took off the speed dial gauge surround pieces to dip those also. Man, if you do that BE PATIENT!

 

Got my @CaliRaisedLed ditch lights on can't wait to see what they look like at night.

 

Yeah lol I tried to text to see if you wanted to tag along but couldn't get a hold of you. Me and my buddy with the white 2nd gen are talking about making a flagpole run soon and if we ever get a date set you and some of the other guys on here need to tag along

 

Bald mtn any closer?

 

Trucks looking good kyle

 

Ok, Flexidip done on the grill emblem and the speed dial surround pieces. How you guys like it? I really dig it and am happy with the end result.

 

I'm in no way trying to be a smart ass but if your tickled with it that's all that matters what we think is of no consequence. I do like it though
