Northern Virginia Roll Call

if anyone has a welding helmet laying around NASA says shade 12 or higher can be used to view the eclipse

 

a quick glance wont hurt right?

 

Will hurt. Word is, stand with your back facing the sun, use your front face camera on your phone to watch it. YMMV

 

Happy Monday everybody

And a special hello to @Me. Projekt

 

aw.... special good morning to you to... but you could have just rolled over in bed and told me Good Morning!


I was right at home this weekend.... the Uhaul was a Ford! haha

 

3rd Gen leaking diff.

 

I almost spit my coffee out

 

def going to have to postpone the mod day for this Saturday.... there are SOOOOOO many boxes in my garage and there is no way I'll have my tools unpacked and ready to go.

sorry @buyobuyo and @TacoCat

we'll reschedule for the 9th if that works for you guys.... since the weekend after this upcoming weekend is Labor Day

 

quiet in here today

 

My welding helmets go up to level 13 but they are auto darkening. I'm interested to see if they stay dark after staring at the sun. And then if they stay dark as the eclipse happens. Will report back if I can see the keyboard.

 

curious to see if anyone wanted to buy my 4Runner TRD Pro wheels.... 17x8 I think the offset is +5mm? instead of the OEM TRD Pro wheels 17x7..... they are brand new in box... $700?

not sure I want to sell them....just gauging interest

 

On my way to allpro! Told the wife we can go south to see the eclipse better

 

well played sir.

 

That's fine by me. I may still try to install my bumper if it gets here. Tracking says it left Charlotte, NC at noon on Friday for Richmond, and it still hasn't made it there. Longest 5 hr drive ever, or some trucker has a new Demello bumper.

 

haha yea that's rough... I never check shipping for that exact reason.... because there is always a little crazy voice inside me that says "just drive down and get it... you'll have it today!"

 

fackin busy monday man, debating cutting my sport rear bumper and putting in flush reverse lights or just doing flood ditch light on a mount like @Coot83 or possibly two ditch light side shooter on rear of prinsu rack? So many options and decisions. For the caliraised guys who have the ditch lights did it come with the right wiring harness and button? or did you get a separate one? Also fog light anytime mod with ditch lights? i suck at electrical.....

 

cutting your rear bumper? to make it hi clearance? I'd like to see that done.... pull it off, cut it, install some flush mount LEDs, and then paint it / get rid of the chrome.......

 

just cut outs for the flush mounts, it is already color matched #sportproblems lol no chrome for me. But i eventually will get a rear swing out and sell the color matched bumper which usually sells pretty easy.

 

ahh ok makes sense.... yea I was actually considering doing that as well.... either bumper or just mount them on the Voodoo Rack.... decisions decisions....

 

Bro...don't cut that shit. Just mount them up high. That way they are out of the way and you can swivel them instead of one fixed orientation.

Nothing says "fuck you" like a strong Monday.
