Northern Virginia Roll Call

Ome 887 on Nitrochargers/ Dakar heavys


I got them shipped from headstrong

 

lol my day plan was up at 8:30 coffee egg Sammy. Go to work do as alittle as I can get away with and not be noticed for anything.

 

SO, when i get my winch, is one of these worth it? I have $300 of Amazon credit to spend and trying to decide how to do it.

I think @buyobuyo has the smittybilt version but I would say something like that is worth it. Whenever I get a winch I want the factor 55 flatlink expert since you can use a shackle in either direction.

Nice, I’m contemplating doing that kit with 888s. I’d like coilovers but that would kill my truck budget haha

 

Ill do the 888s when i buy a bumper. That wont happen for awhile, so im going to wait

 

For people that have roof top tent. do u guys have a rubber mat to put under the legs of your ladder? if so whats the benefits of this?

 

I don't. Never heard of that

 

Well, the one of the benefits are not having to bring your boots up the tent with you. Another one is keeping the tent legs free from debris

 

Ah. Ok. I have the tepui boot bags on my tent, so i hang my legs out, take them off, and they hang in bags outside overnight

 

Thats cool

 

I also have this but still may go to tractor supply and get a mat

 

Anyone have a miter/chop saw i can borrow?

 

You're an ambitious mf'er today. I helped my buddy delete the EGR on his 1MZ-FE swapped MR2 this morning and that's all I've got planned for today. Maybe I'll give myself a haircut if I'm motivated. Supposedly a couple packages are coming today, but I doubt it based on lack of tracking updates.

Post up some pictures of the flaps when you get them installed. I passed 20k on my WRX today.

Yeah. I have the Smittybilt version of that. I haven't been out and actually used it yet, but it seems to be good quality. It's a good deal at half the price of the Factor 55.

Yeah, I have a compound miter you're welcome to borrow. Shoot me a PM if you still need it.

 

I might be good but ill keep you in mind. Thanks bud.

 

Not a major mod, but got my high lift jack (and oversized base from @Mobtown Offroad) mounted today...

 

its going to snow next week

 

well I got a free set of black headlights today might see if I can restore them and retro fit them.

 

Its march, so spring is right around the corner. If i can make it through the next couple weeks with no major snowfalls ill be ok. Keeping my fingers crossed.

 

@buyobuyo ill grab some pictures of the flaps in a bit if its still light enough. I also gave myself a haircut and gotta clean off all the hair before it drives me crazy.
