Northern Virginia Roll Call

Hell ya man, last warped, its pretty crazy, i havent been since i worked on the tour in 2010. I'll pm you my cell# shoot me a text since im at work if you can, and we will be in touch. How is that home security coming along?

 

Ended up going to Rapidan WMA to camp. Saw a fully modded black second gen with a dual spare rear bumper. I stopped to say hello but did not catch his name.

 

I'm going, probably Friday afternoon to Sunday mid day.

 

Hows the camping there?

 

Anyone on here ever own an FJ Cruiser? If so, could you share your mechanical/drivability opinions on them good or bad? I am thinking of picking up one to tinker with and to replace my kid's car when he goes off to boot camp this fall. Thanks in advance.

i get jealous every time i see an overlander FJ around here wish i had the money for another vehicle to turn into a tank. good luck!

 

Do I need these too make people shit themselves on a daily basis?

 

its NoVA so yes, without a doubt.

 

Just the right mix of wheeling and camping for me. From around dusk Saturday to noon sunday only 2 trucks passed me. Several stream side camp spots are available. These are primitive sites with nothing but a rock fire ring. It can get a little busy during the day with jeeps / fishermen.

 

Loved it, would buy another in a heartbeat. Comfortable, fun/easy to drive. Big blind spots because of the way the rear windows are. Was good in the snow, not so great on gas, and they crash well

 

Thanks for that! I especially like the "crash well" part. I think I will try to pick one up before the prices get too far out of hand.

 

If you get two pairs of super tones, it’s almost guaranteed they’ll shit themselves.

 

Nice, looks like it’s in a good location. Only 2 hours for me. Might have to check it out

 

yeah that's the other nice thing. if you don't like it you can probably sell and recoup your money. in my case i made about $3k on insurance

 

Just might need to hook these up and have fun....

 

Only reason is/was the retirement honestly, plus free certs and experience if you had none. But the way companies are pulling these kids right out of college and paying them is redonkulous. DOD cant keep up, they are gonna have to highly incentivize the smarter NCO's to switch over.

 

Its after 3 where are all the Amazon deals?! im lazy.

 

I will go with you. There is good fly fishing there. @yellowdogpaddler may be interested as well!

 

They are all on www.amazon.com.
