Northern Virginia Roll Call

Man that happened on post at Bragg....gotta make a few calls and see how that AAR at the fire department went, I know there is going to be a safety frago coming out in the next few days....

 

Man that thread was great, provided me with some good laughs

 

I don't know if the headlights are sealed together with the exact same material, but back in the early 2000's I was in a Toyota Celica club here in this area and baked our headlights for mods. We just preheated the oven to 325°. Then when it reached that temp, we turned the oven off and THEN placed the headlamp in the oven on a towel, and closed the oven door. Leave them in there 5 minutes max.
Came right apart. No melting. No fire. No fire dept.

 

Morning ladies .......shit is already on fire in here lol! Good stuff!

 

Hey @boogie3478 , as you probably already know, my left headlamp has been getting moisture in it for a few months now. So last week I left my truck inside the shop overnight and pulled the side marker bulb socket out and pulled the rubber boot away from around the his bulb to let some air in there overnight hoping it would dry out.
Came in the next morning and was much drier with only a few drops of moisture in the inside of the lens. So I put the rubber boot and socket back in and put the truck back outside. At lunchtime I go out to the truck and it's fully fogged up again! No rain at all! Just removed it from the warm shop to the cold parking lot for 4 hours.
Maybe it's TOO sealed up? Is this lens sweating from temp difference inside and out?

 

Yeah if a single drop of moisture is left in the headlight then the temperature swing will fog it up quickly. That's why when I dried mine out I made damn sure they were 100% dry before sealing.

 

I used This thread and the low range Offroad video made it stupid easy.

Also used a 2 carpros video on front brake lines and i just Applied the same basic concept to rears although that damn bracket makes it much harder to get into.

Well shit, I took my AP front skid plate off a few months back and now I can't seem to find any of the 6 bolts that hold the damn thing on. I think all of those 2nd gen aftermarket front IFS skids mount at the same place so does anyone know the size of the bolts needed?

 

The old girl finally got a well deserved was today. I think the last time it was washed was three off roading adventures ago.

 

you should get @3pooches suspension, so you can have some real lift..
