Northern Virginia Roll Call

The blind leading the blind

 

0630-1900 But I usually get here early and try to get the other team out and hope they reciprocate.

 

Thats kinda how we do our relief as well, thankfully most people show up in a timely manner. I just want to go home and sleep for 10 hours before work again tomorrow lol.

 

I cannot remember the last time I slept more than 6 hours.

 

I always try to sleep a shit ton but it usually ends up being 6hours haha. although the other day i definitely slept around 11 hours unintentionally. gotta love a quiet house and blackout curtains.

 

Thanks. Just got the compressor in the engine bay. I can confirm that the 2nd Gen single mount does indeed work on the 3rd Gen! Now for the wiring...

 

If you’re not too comfortable with it don’t halfassed (Halffast) it!

 

Same here lol

 

IS THAT WHAT YOUR USERNAME MEANS?!

 

yeah... lol

 

It was easier to take out the preload on @quis23's Fox coilovers when putting the new springs one. Gotta compress them anyway, so didn't take out the preload for removal. No problems doing my Kings with or without preload for removal/install.

I got 3 hrs last night and 5 hrs the night before. My average is 6-7 hrs.

 

I spotted a great looking 2nd gen earlier over by Franconia Springfield Metro station. Heavily molded, couldn't get pics because traffic. I was in the red 80 series. Was that anyone on here?

 

Jesus Christ. I’ve even said your name out loud and didn’t pick up on that.

 

They are some great people. Did they give you the TW discount?

 

Are you serious? lol I cant tell if your joking hahaha

 

Dead ass serious

 

LOL well thats what it is

 

Well, OBA install was a success! At least I think so... I just need to finish with securing the wiring in the morning since my garage lighting is shit and in need up updating. Thanks to @Halffast555 and @EatSleepTacos for the suggestions and encouragement. Quick question for you two...which fuse did you wire the switch lighting to on the inside fuse box? I wired to ING #1, but I think I want to switch it to one that is for a dash light that dims/only comes on when the lights are on. Any suggestions?

 

There’s two wires that you’ll need to tap. One is just a switched 12v so the compressor only works when the truck is on. For that, I used ACC. The second is so the switch lights up with the dash. For that, I tapped into TAIL. Then it’ll only come in with parking/headlights.

 

I had them both tapped to ACC so its always on. Its not the end of the world for me to have it lit up.
