Northern Virginia Roll Call

Morning all.

Every time I park - auto trans. Mine has never frozen on either of my 3rd gens.

 

does anyone here have any personal experience with the wotefusi snorkel? i know its in the diy thread but i was just curious if anyone had any side input. considering buying one for my truck since the price is friendly. 2nd has anyone ever tried any products from extreme light bars? I cant justify spending 1700 on a light bar and these guys are offering similar products with similar warranties for 1/3rd of the price.

If you want a cheaper alternative you can check out Aurora LED. It's still Chinese made but the are IP69K rated and they are almost exact clones of Rigid. In fact I heard Rigid is suing them or something. I've got two scene lights from them that were $40 a piece and i'm pretty impressed with the quality....and those suckers are bright. Full light bars from Aurora are still not free. But they are a lot cheaper than Rigid. I personally don't think Rigid is worth the price tag. I do however think Baja Designs is worth the price tag. I have all three and Baja blows everything out of the water (it's not even close).

im running amber baja pods and rigid 20 in bar and side shooters currently. i am really interested in the combo bar and cant make myself pay for what baja wants for one lol.

 

any issues keeping boots on vs off? I know @boogie3478 took his off I think?

 

Yeah took mine off about a year and a half ago. The damn boots were always moving and getting bent and folded at weird angles.

 

I read something awhile ago about how’s theres a different type of seal on ones with a boot vs ones designed to run no boot. That no boot ones are designed for the dirty shock shaft sliding in (sounds so wrong) and expelling that dirt, whereas the other kind can damage the seals prematurely. Not sure on the acccuracy on that but I left the boots on because of it.

Before I installed mine I used my wife’s hairdryer to massage them and stretch them out, and I use hose clamps to secure them. They compress and extend nicely

 

So you warmed and massaged your dirty shock shaft boot before putting it on?

 

interesting I will do some more research. I haven't had any issues with mine just wondering cus I kinda wanna take the boot off.

 

Guess what winter broooooought me?

Convenient for anyone to grab?

 

I was going to say herpes or something else immature and inappropriate along those lines but after seeing the picture i have no clue what is going on there.

Might be able to this Saturday. PM me.

 

Summer gave me that first thing.

The picture is of another cabin water leak. Up to 6 separate ones now.

 

So, how many times was the windshield replaced and by who?

 

I mean, I've been know to uninstall and reinstall windshields with bathroom caulk after pounding a few Coors Lights, wasn't me this time though.

But for real, never. The Toyota dealer reinstalled the factory installed roof rack and it didn't help.

 

Have you located the source and the area they appear from?

 

This time, on the right middle side of the drivers floorboard.

 

I cant find the words right now...

 

So @EatSleepTacos and I were pretty sure my spindle was bent. I guess we have good instincts.....

 

At least this sexy beast will be ready to hit the road once it gets an alignment.
