Northern Virginia Roll Call

Alright you jokers what have I missed in the last 600 pages since we passed 1000 without trying very hard

 

Just trying to make you proud crunchy!

 

how much did that set you back if you don't mind me asking?

 

$464

I ordered it through a link in the Deals/Coupon forum. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/smittybilt-x20-10k-winch.491557/
I messaged Mike from AutoAnything (@eccracer104), as well. I don't think he's on here during the weekends, but he got back with me today and price matched the price from the Deals/Coupon thread. Unfortunately, I had already ordered.

 

Haha yep, just checked it out, ironically the same price I use to price match those winches

 

hmm that's a solid idea! thanks man!

that's GREAT man! and yea I dont think you'll have an issue w/ door to door.... or WORST case, a Fastenal warehouse or something.

are you rolling over for the mod day on the 26th?

well..... I have another Tacoma.... we close on the house in Harpers Ferry tomorrow, moving in this Saturday... we're having a mod day at my house on the 26th, youre of course welcome to join....

oh..... and @Superman910 isnt stock as fuck anymore..... he's quite the opposite.

 

It's coming via Roadrunner unless they change carriers when they get the NC. They don't have any terminals in VA or MD.

Most likely, I'll roll out for the mod day. That would be the most expedient way to get @TacoCat my stock pieces. I've got my fog lights already, and according to the tracking the winch will be here on Wednesday. If they can deliver in the evening after work next week, I'll try to get it all premounted on the bumper if that's a good idea.

 

I would wait to mount it until you get here to the house... so it's easier to load / unload the bumper (you dont want to drop a steel bumper on the ground) and bumper + winch youre probably looking at 150+ lbs

but yes. pre mounting it before we actually bolt it on is a great idea.

 

Anyone interested in some oem led taco lights? The passenger side is 100%. The drivers side has a small chip and the lense popped off, which i will reattach.

 

nah man still stock.

 

"stock"

 

that has a few mods man

 

I got the aluminum, so it's only around 55 lb. Amazon says the winch is 62.5 lb, so total will only be about 120 pounds. The steel Demello bumper is around 120 pounds by itself. The same winch with steel cable, instead of synthetic, is 87 lb, so nearly double. lol

 

With the back wide open, why not lose the front doors?

 

I love the little block thats supposed to keep it from rollin. Like an ant against a elephant foot.

 

@JDEMELLO creeping in here.......

 

Wow i think my demello single hoop weighed in at 105 or 110#. I have actually taken off and remounted the bumper by myself. Damn near gave myself a hernia doing it, but its doable. I wouldnt recommend it though. If your bumper is only half that, it will be easy to mount. If you have someone to help you load it in the bed, you could mount the winch before hand. Not sure how much work it saves on the other end but itll be a busy day.

 

Haha. Hes seeing everyone talking about the bumpers. Getting quite a few of them in the NoVA area.

 

What happens when you got bomb ass sales

 

I picked mine up several years ago. Still love it. Glad it will find a new home with Caleb rather than getting traded in.
