Northern Virginia Roll Call

Ok Nova... and I think I already know the answer I'll get from most of y'all.... But I like to gamble/bet on NCAAF, NCAAB, NFL, NBA, etc.. and I have done really well of late dating back to college football bowl season to now. I'm up around 3k since then and am going to use some of my gambling winnings to mod the truck more.....

SO, my question is what should be my next mod or mods? Currently waiting to be installed when I get home in a week or so is 5100s, 887's, Icon progressive AAL, TRD intake, pro grill, remote start and a pop n lock. Next thing on the docket and will be ordered in the next few days for sure is a tonneau cover (thinking extang trifecta 2.0) ... But what should be next and here are the ones in no particular order that I am considering:

OVTune
Caliraised hidden grill light bar and mounts
Caliraised Passenger rear molle system
Front skid
Sliders
SSO Slimline hybrid bumper

Also going to pick some various small things while home too to keep on board like a mount for a shovel, some tow straps, emergency tool kit, etc.. But help me make up my mind and know that I am cheap and even tho that I have won 3k worth of free money, I won't be able to spend it all at once...

 

If you want to offroad more and do some light rock cralwing, then I would think sliders and skids. If you not, then other stuff might be better to buy like the ovtune and molle panel. It just depends on how you want to use your truck.

 

Never been to green top, was trying to get down last weekend.

 

I have a cooler, but its ozark. I also dont need a super nice cooler, and got this one for free, which is a price that cant be beat. Most I need one for would be week long trips.

 

so i guess im an ultimate snob...

 

skids/sliders hands down first. then slimline, and winch (do it at the same time) then ov tune

Id go so far to recommend full skids ( 900) then sliders (900) then winch (550 for x20 10k) then Slimline (800 ish)

 

how else to you carry spares to work? When i need a lung transplant from blowing out all my bullshit, Ima call you.

 

I figured skids/sliders would be the answer from most...

 

I painted my hood in 40* weather

 

The definitive purpose now is to be a truck.. I have to carry my trash to the dump, I do yard/house work and I commute when I am home and working. Plus the wife drives it when the weather is bad. I certainly want to be able to have a more fun off road as the time comes though, hence the debate... I am leaning slightly towards front skid and sliders but I also want the OVtune and don't want to kill my MPG's just yet... my commute is 40 miles when I am home.

 

All this fancy cooler talk makes me feel inferior; I guess I need to step my game up. All I have is a few Igloos to carry around my snobby ass craft beer.

Seriously though, I will probably go with Pelican or Yeti when I do take the plunge. Aren't they all made in China anyway?

Another vote for the sliders and skids. Skids are definitely next for me along with all of the recovery shit you listed (especially those recovery boards).

 

i have an rtic i use for beer while camping. i haven't been impressed with the build quality.

 

After he followed me on 28 today, I figured I would channel my inner @IPNPULZ.

 

Thanks, I will keep that in mind when shopping.

 

That place any good?

 

As long as those igloos keep that good beer cold!

 

They do...I drink that beer way too fast for the ice to completely melt. Still, I definitely have cooler envy.

Oh yeh! It’s really good. Im a big German beer fan. That is their wheelhouse. They have a really good IPA as well. It’s an IPA with a German twist.

 

I went this morning to do some TW Express action. Should’ve texted you. I was unimpressed though. Probably just the time of year but their stock was pretty unimpressive. I went in ready to drop some cash and only spent $80. $50 of it on ammo.
