Northern Virginia Roll Call

What's the actual location of sleepy creek? All I could find is a RV park. Is it a primitive camp no rules kind of place like flagpole?

 

I can probably make this. I have a couple of WRX mods that I've been putting off because it's hot AF. If I have the truck back, I could haul the fiberglass besides up to put on.

 

Cool. But I don't think you truck will fit through the door, but plenty of room outside.

 

I might swing by but more than likely I’ll just ride the bike up there and BS/lend an extra set of hands. I have no practical knowledge to contribute. I was actually cruising through B-Ville yesterday…

Also, @Halffast555 is becoming the @ChadsPride of the NOVA thread with all the likes he’s doling out.

 

Hands are good. BS is better!

 

No worries if I don't fit. Outside isn't a problem. I'll have to measure how tall I am once I get the truck back.

 

need an opinion from you guys (again) I cant decide on the best value... I want something that's going to handle a slimline bumper, winch, sliders, and eventually a bed rack w/ some light accessories in the rear (no RTT or anything super heavy)

Lift option 1: $920
5100s up front w/ OME 888 and 5160s in the rear w/ AAL

Lift option 2: $1520
Icon 2.5" coilovers up front w/ Icon 2.0 shocks in the rear (w/ AAL)

Lift option 3: $925
OME kit w/ 888 coils and firm ride shocks w/ AAL

Lift option 4: $1520
Fox "level 2" which is 2.5" front coilovers with 2.0 w/ remote res

Lift option 5: $1370
OME kit w/ 888 coils, firm ride shocks, and dakar hd

 

The lake-

I've only run the trails there,never camped. I did notice some sweet primitive camp spots with nice views along the trails that would fit a few vehicles.
I know a few guys have camped at the actual lake, so hopefully they'll chime in.
The southern trailhead is located at the Brush Creek Access point.

Morning all...

I might join @LocoLocal and swing by for BS/helping...

The OME with Dakars is the route I went, albeit with softride shocks not the firm ones. I also initially had the 886 coils, but have since gone to 888. I wanted to stay away from the AAL route this time and liked my OME setup from before, which is why I went that route. I did have some vibes, but 3 degree shims on the Dakars with the CB drop fixed those. I will say that I did look at the Fox kit for a while as well, but Marie at Headstrong talked me out of it since I wanted to add the same type of stuff you are looking at in the future.

 

awesome! thanks for the advice!

 

Check out this high centering!

 

I think I just puked a little

 

I have option #3 with 886. However, I would suggest option #5, as I am going to switch to dakars eventually

 

Work called me this morning and said to just stay home since work is slow right now...actually they said "go fishing". Lol.
If tomorrow's going to be the same way, I'll be leaving for the beach tonight to beat the labor day traffic down I-95.

 

I keep forgetting labor day is this weekend. Time sure does fly. And traffic is gonna suck on 95.

 

I did OME/Dakars.

 

I agree with the others on #5. AAL are ok but only putting a bandaid on a weak stock leafpack. Full leafs would be better over long term.

 

Most campsites are at sleepy creek lake from what i can tell.

Coordinates are Sleepy Creek Coords
39.392871, -78.208430 (atleast this is where we usually go in)

 

so it looks like the overwhelming opinion is OME + Dakars

why OME w/ Dakars instead of 5100s w/ Dakars? just curious
