Northern Virginia Roll Call

Anybody want to buy rhis license plate mount from me?

https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...rill-license-plate-bracket-35-shipped.429680/

I bought one but my bumper is already so hacked up from the light bar it doesn't really matter if I drill two more holes in it. Never even opened the package. I would let it go for $30.

 

Bringing back the stupid ass ideas high schoolers are coming up with...deodorant challenge. They are seeing who can spray deodorant on their arms the longest....

Edit: some nasty burns are in the article if you don’t like that kind of stuff

 

Oh god, that injury is terrible!!!

 

Anybody ever rebuild two-stroke carbs? I'll be at Smith Mountain Lake for a week next month and I want to get my skis readied up for the trip.

 

It's pretty simple if you buy the right rebuild kit - even I was able to do it! I rebuilt a 2 barrel carb on my old Bronco. I don't know how different jet ski carbs are though.

 

I may have to give it a shot. If I do it now I'll have enough time to get it fixed if I screw it up haha

 

Seriously, like why would someone do that haha

 

I say go for it. As I mentioned, I am not very mechanically inclined, so being able to do it was kind of rewarding to me, even if it was a simple job.

 

I managed to do it on an old weber 32/36 I slapped on my E21 but that was a POS car and if it didn't run it didn't cripple me. Screw it I'll order some kits!

 

Have some faith in yourself. The ill educated, cerebrally challenge (such as myself) have been taking carbs apart in the back woods with pocket knives to fix a stuck plunger and what not for millions of years. And that was before YouTube.

 

Any of you fellers looking to get rid of an RTT in the near future?

Everything seems to be for sale across the country.

Nice, thats a biggun!

 

Lunchtime lull in activity...came across this in my web surfing: http://www.thedrive.com/news/20722/...nds-dream-1966-ford-mustang-for-a-new-audi-s5

No. Just no.

 

It appears out of stock, but I had this one for a little bit. Ended up selling it, but only because the RTT life isn’t for me. It was a nice tent though, and I love that the annex is included. Another perk is you can enter the tent from the annex, which is handy if it’s raining. Shipping was also free.

that's not a bad price. I don't want to spend a bunch of money on a high quality tent as I will probably only use it for a few trips a year. It would be nice to have so I can "bugout" whenever I want and get away from people for a weekend.

 

That’s why I picked that tent originally. It’s a great “budget” tent. Another option is become a member of REI and wait for their 20% off anything coupon. They sell RTT so you can get it for about $750. Plus they’ll ship it to their store for free.

 

I have heard of people turning cans of compressed air upside down and doing that too. Causes a nasty blistering.

 

better than eating Tide pods

 

Haha true... I used to spray upside down compressed air on inanimate objects...I was never into causing myself pain like that
