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

I don't beleve so

 

I'm not even going to act like I have the balls to do it myself. I still owe 18k on it, so, id like someone who knows exactly what they are doing to do it if I go that route

 

Opinions needed.

I bought a set of Rigid Spots at the Carlisle Truck Show two weeks ago. They are not operational yet but I did mount them on my brush bar.

I initially installed them above the bar (top picture) but then realized they might not survive the beating they're gonna get going through a car wash. So I decided to mount them inverted (bottom picture).

The question is, do they look ghey hanging underneath rather than the more traditional above-the-bar position?

 

Should be the exact same as one on a 2nd gen. Done several.

 

I like the lights on top better myself just hand wash it if concerned

 

I'm curious too and would like to see it done.

 

99% of all shops aren't going to let you watch/participate. Too much liability associated with welding.

Yet again, it is the same principle/method as a 2nd gen.

 

I'm kinda digging the hanging below look, but I like things a bit untraditional.

 

So here's what I got to do this weekend. My son had his Boy Scout Eagle Scout project, building four benches for a homeless outreach for our family church in Virginia Beach. There's only three in the picture because they were staining the fourth one. Luckily I have a truck to deliver these next weekend! Not bad for a bunch of kids (they aren't allowed to work power tools so the adults cut the boards).

 

The forecast for Friday is looking good. Anyone committing to meeting up in Culpeper for the winery tasting/pizza?

Tag others I forgot. The more the merrier.

 

Took the Tonka down to Richmond last evening to have Katzkins and seat heaters (or as my wife calls them, "Bun Warmers") installed.

Stay tuned.

 

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Choco this evening. Looking forward to seeing some of you friday evening

 

Hey Nick, I'm in Front Royal too, but I live in town. What mountain are you on? Apple Mtn? Blue Mtn? High Knob? I've probably seen your truck around. I commute to Dulles/Sterling every day and back. I can do the cab mount chop for you, if and when you're ready. I'm an autobody frame tech with 38 yrs of experience.

 

Where do you work around Dulles? I work in the body shop for the airport authority

 

Truck parks just keep coming. 4xinnovations rock sliders with 2in kick out and a new exedy clutch. Clutch is going in tomorrow evening and I'm going to hopefully get to the rock sliders soon as my buddy has time to do some welding for me.

 

Man your really getting some cool stuff done there Kyle! The 4x sliders are pretty nice justin and I did a set last year. Funny I thought you said your truck was a prerunner jaylyn told me 4wd your gonna make a monster out of it keep going

 

Nice. I want the 4x Innovations rear bumper when I decide it's time for that.

I think I'm going to have to do the clutch in my truck before too long. I just need to decide which clutch. LCE and Competition Clutch through URD are the only aftermarket options for the 2tr-fe.

 

Chris - great meeting you! Very sorry I'm not going to be able to make it to the Winery tomorrow night, as I'm sure it would be a blast for everyone!

 

My wife just calls them butt warmers, and when we went to buy another minivan last year (yeah, I know, I hate it but she likes it) the only thing I told the dealer is it had to have butt warmers, didn't care about any other add-ons.

Me - I would rather have air cooled seats because I'm always burning up in those leather seats.

 

Damn Im planning to head down early Sat morning so I wont be able to make this unfortunately. It def sounds like a blast though!
