Northern Virginia Roll Call

yea me and @ilubtimmyhos went and aimed them after we put them in... they were only about an inch too low right out of the box and a half an inch inward on the passenger side

 

I got my headlights aligned at a shop near my work and the drivers side is slightly lower than the passenger side. Absolutely drives me nuts.

 

Supposed to me that way. It's so you don't blind oncoming drivers.

 

I had it pegged on fuel economy as a tent above the roof will def impede your mpg now that you have a cap. At the end of the day, is 6 inches really worth it though? Seems a lot of commitment for such small results but looks do account for things in this hobby.

 

Pretty sure an 8mm socket could fix that in about 5 seconds.

 

@fatfurious2 were you there when the guy with the hardshell RTT told us his loophole for getting it so cheap?

 

No i wasnt

 

Anyone want any of the stuff i have? If not, it will either go on the parts market place or in the trash.

Very used 5100s for the front, still work fine.
Mgm door handles, set of 4.
Black plastic oem mirrors
Stock struts and springs with 1" pre-load spacer and 1/2" top plate spacer, 62k miles on them
Stock upper control arms, 62k miles on them

 

He said he contacted the factory in china directly (not sure how) and told them he's interested in a sample. That way they were able to sell him a single unit. He paid extra to get it brought over by air, and only paid $1500. He could've saved another couple hundred bucks if he was patient and had it brought by boat.

 

But that requires effort

 

Fuel economy isnt it. I have 4.56s.

I want a change anyways. It started with the cap. I don't want that super high center of gravity. And plus it will be really high

 

Hmm. Not sure how i can look into that part. I don't want to PM him, and ask for the super secret details

 

That is true man, gears alone kind of blew that argument out of the water. I imagine though height wise from Mark, the more lower profile the better on the trail from not smacking all sorts of shit.

 

Yeah I have no idea how exactly he did it, but it may be worth looking into if you're interested in the hard shell tent. I wanna say the tent itself was only like $800.

 

Yea.

 

When I first had my lights hooked up, I had an 8mm socket behind my seat for these "on the fly" adjustments. It takes longer to open my hood then to correct the lights.

 

Oh id pay that in a heartbeat! Even though the one I want is 400 more plus shipping

 

$1200 for a tent really isn't too bad though! How many does it sleep?

 

2 people

 

True that man, thats what I paid used for my 3 man!
