Northern Virginia Roll Call

oh nice!!! congrats man!!!

 

Today’s project was spark plugs!

After the first of the year, I set my goals for:

Maintenance:
Front and rear diff fluid
Trans fluid
Coolant flush

Mods:
Cap, Ditch lights, flush mount rear lights, wiring up my rock lights, and maybe a light bar on the bumper, and diff breather

Spring time:
Paint the cap, grill and rear bumper, on board air


What’s everyone else’s plans for the first quarter?

 

My only mods left are possible onboard water. Finish mounting tent and ifs skid/sliders. then I’m off never to be seen again.

 

haha you say that now...

but your truck is looking awesome man!

 

I think we really are done atleast for the big mods. We gotta get married next

 

I’m waiting for my Mobtown sliders and skids to be built. A lift will be the first big mod once I decide on one. Then I’ll nail down my recovery gear. I’d like to come up with better storage for tools and whatnot without spending a ton of money.

 

I mean for like 20$ u can get 6 bolts some quick clamps for the axe and shovels. If that’s the route u wanna go

 

Tcase too?

Here's my list of upcoming truck projects:

 

I feel ya.... I convinced the wife to get married at the court house back in the day haha

yea I am a lot more "ok" with keeping tools on my bed rails since (hopefully) I'll have a locking cap soon... and that's the route I'll be taking for my tools / hi lift

yep... pretty much all fluids are getting drained, flushed, and filled..... probably going to paint the rear diff cover while I'm at it... I really like yours!

I'm curious to see what your truck looks like at the end of the year.... I predict we'll see a front bumper / winch

 

Is your truck a manual?

 

???

 

nice! I usually keep iphone notes for short term stuff and an excel sheet for my long term to do lists

 

Yeh. I've done the rear diff oil and the transmission fluid recently. Maybe fluid isn't the right word - the trans was "oil" too.

 

Yeah I’ll probably do that for big tools but I’m thinking of like hand tools and other recovery gear like shackles and straps. For now I’ve got a few bags that I can toss in my truck for trips but I’d like to keep that stuff in the truck full time so I don’t have to carry it down from my apartment haha I’m too lazy for that.

I might take out the plastic bins to add a little more space behind the rear seats. I need to think about it more haha

A cap will be nice. I’d like one but they are so expensive haha

 

???

I keep a list on my phone because I always think of things I need or want to do at random times and if I don't write it down then and there I'll forget.

 

This is what I did with my basic recovery stuff and there is a bag of tools in the other

 

That’s basically how I have it now but it’s pretty tight. I might be putting my old sub in too which would take up that whole spot.

 

Front bumper/winch by the end of 2018 is a safe bet.
