Northern Virginia Roll Call

I got some rigid fogs for mine, but long story short most just cut off the factory connector and splice in the one that comes with the kit. I know it seems crazy to hack off factory connections such as this, but for fogs I believe you can get a better, waterproof connection over the stock one.

 

And they are getting ready to go up again.......

ARLINGTON, VA — Bad news, Arlington County homeowners: your property taxes are going up again under the new $1.25 billion fiscal 2018 budget just adopted by the Arlington County Board.

Property owners will see a 1.5-cent property tax hike, which will go largely to Metro and local schools, according to a statement from the county.

Loudoun is 2018/19 to cover I think it is the expected $1.65B fiscal budget to help cover the Metro.....And I think the Property tax is going from I think 2.53% to 3.61% in 18 or 19...

These fuckers should all be in jail!

 

@fatfurious2

 

What locks precious?

 

Bro I had papa yesterday as well...what did you get? I jumped on the 30% off single large that I upgraded for 3 bucks more.

LUNCH WILL BE EPIC!

 

David knows a guy that sells "security cables" that enables you to lock your gear up.... and they are pretty cheap as well.

 

Oh yeah, that's @Shmellmopwho. Pretty neat product.

 

@Shmellmopwho is the man! I've ordered a few from him. Great stuff.

 

yea he mentioned that he was on the forum somewhere... I couldnt remember his name

Thanks! I'll probably end up hitting him up for 4 cables.... 1 for the Rotopax, 1 for the hi lift, 1 for the recovery boards, and an extra haha

 

Well he also makes a hi-lift slider adapter. I got that too.

 

I will warn you, Baja designs doesn't recommend their fogs for normal all day street driving as they are bright and very likely wont pass inspection. As off road lights they are bad ass. I assume you are just going to use the voodoo rack for utility right? It is versatile, in demand, modular to upgrade/swap. My driving force for that would be to rock an RTT, but maybe you can fasten a full size spare on top of it instead?

I say go for the rack...unless you do driving at night a lot you wont need lights and stuff right away. Cali raised lights are pretty cheap as it is to acquire in case you want to do some night runs. I would run a reg viair air compressor, but that's me at the moment.

 

what did that run you?

 

@Shmellmopwho makes custom length cables to lock stuff

 

I want to say it was like $55 shipped. It's the piece below with the curved part that goes around the slider.

 

Ive seen it. But no 2nd gen stuff I don't think

 

yea I am not 100% decided on the BD lights.... in fact the Demello bumper that I'm getting from @TacoCat already has some amber fogs, but I'm a "white fog" guy.... so who knows what I'll decide to run.

and that's a really good idea about the full size spare on the roof for off roading!

 

Ah that makes sense now...I always wondered where metro gets their subsidized funds from. Government has to pull it from somewhere. Cool fact people may not know...metro would need to charge OVER 3x the amount for a one way ticket just to break even. Sorry to see this.

 

I got rigids on mine solely because they are "DOT" approved. If not, then they would be BD. My fogs are also white...

 

His are circular fogs though right? If so...could be a little more challenging to find.

Edit: Morimoto makes a drop in white fog that I believe @Superman910 has that I assisted in with his install. They have a clean look to them if 7" fogs will work in that bumper.

Unfortunately, yea they are round... I emailed Jason Demello and asked him what fogs they recommend and they told me the BD Driving lights... but we'll see.... I might have to do some trial and error.
