Northern Virginia Roll Call

One of the biggest things I can recommend is analyze how much you are going to use said things.then, use that information to gauge how much you will want/ be able to afford.

I would like kings, and a full lt setup.

I cant justify at this point spending the scratch on that. So, I bought an ome kit with dakars($1600), and 5 good tires ($1000). For the cost of front /rear king shocks.

I bought sliders, they should be here soon. I skimped on powder coat (150-175) and will be spray painting them, which covered my cb radio install and a snatch strap.

Skids will cost 700-800, which will happen before an rtt.those will also get spray paint.


An rtt needs a bed rack, which further increase the cost, so make sure you factor that in. That will be getting powder coat, same as a front or rear bumper, at least for me it will.

For airing up, I spent 75 bucks on Amazon for a tire inflater.

Eventually, I will get a dual arb, but right now 500 on a compressor isnt in the cards, as that's the cost of a winch.

Also, remember that a rear swingout will cost nearly a lift and tires. Or skids and sliders.

I also want a hc rear swingout.

You get 2 out of 3 options.

Fast
Inexpensive
Good stuff

 

Yeah man I got big plans in the works. Idk shit about a lift kit so I have to figure that out first.

I am getting Mobtown sliders here soon and idk exactly what skid plates I want yet.

Looking at the KB voodoo bed rack or the Rago fab bed rack. Im also looking at a safari snorkel. Also want the ARB single air compressor for the bed and I still want a bunch of other shit I probably cant afford lol

 

Come on Nick! Take the plunge! Oh and my rci skids and bedrack all shipped 24 hours after I ordered them in case you can cancel your cbi order.

 

That’s fast! I’m contemplating switching to steel skids already and was looking at RCI.

 

Here’s what I’m working on today and you’ll notice there’s another taco outside

And here’s my view while I work on it



It’s going to be a good day

 

They have a very nice finish

 

Very nice! I’ll have to see if I can find interest in my aluminum skids haha

 

I am interested! Need aluminum because I have a 4cyl.

 

That was fast haha. I have the ifs and transmission skid, would you be interested in both?

 

100$ firm.

 

Yeah, I need a new driveway before I get kings lol

 

If the price is right and it will fir a manual transmission, then yes to both, but at least the IFS!

I will shoot you a PM or you can send me one about price whenever you're ready.

 

Sounds good man, let me figure out a price and I’ll PM you!

 

Seems fair

 

why are you switching?

 

I'm interested as well maybe.

 

after you guys mentioned aluminum on rocks...they got a little banged up this weekend and I’d rather switch to steel before I destroy them haha

It probably doesn’t help that I’m not lifted yet so I’m dragging them like crazy

 

oh yea. Good point

 

Sounds good!

 

Working on this beast this morning. Anyone know him? Has 295/55/20 Ridge Grapplers, cmc, toytec lift Probably going to total loss
