Northern Virginia Roll Call

Agreed way better deal.

 

Tourniquet application should be on the list. I don’t think most classes train that, at least WFA doesn’t. I’ve never been taught how other than watching YouTube even though it seems simple

 

Absolutely a good thing to train on.

 

Anyone have a good connection for an A.R.E. truck cap? I'm looking at the CX HD and best price I've found thus far is still $3k. Even the standard CX is coming back at $2,250.

 

I'm down for some training, but I'm not good with blood. If things get too graphic, I might need scraped off the floor.

I think basic first aid plus splinting/stabilizing sprains/broken bones would cover most things people would come across day-to-day and offroading. Initial treatment to stem/stop the bleeding from a GSW while waiting for EMTs would also be a good subject given the number of people on here that work around guns, carry and/or use them extensively for recreation.

A group buy on pre-assembled first aid kits or on items for a DIY kit. Then discussion/training covering more specialized items in the kit like tournaquets, splints, quick clot, etc. I've got a kit in the truck that should be good for me, but I need to go through it and replace anything that's expired. It also came with a book on general/wilderness first aid. I haven't sat down and read it, but I've perused through it.

 

Yeah they are seized that's why it went back in the first place. @EatSleepTacos pointed it out when he did the suspension install.

I guess I'll need an alignment again after the ECGS bushing anyway?

 

No the ECGS bushing won’t mess with alignment at all which is nice.

 

Is there a local FB group we use to sell/trade parts?

 

Busted window isnt a huge issue, i used to be an auto glass installer, but also would consider fabbing a hatch door.

 

Anyone one here in F’burg today that drives a silver 3rd gen with roof rack and hi viz tent on the back!

 

Craigslist is my go to if u wait and or willing to travel u can pick them up cheap. I got my CX with windoors duel locks carpet sliding and fold down front for 1k. It’s better to wait and get used trust me

 

There's a NoVA Tacoma group on FB that some of us on here are in. However, it's rarely posted to, since we just post here. If you're just looking to sell some stuff local-ish, post it in the Southest Yard Sale or New England Buy/Sell threads, or just post in in this thread.

 

Try getting a quote from Tint Works Plus (TWP) in Prince Frederick Maryland. I got a quote from them last year for a color matched Overland Series with windoors for $2350. Although, I sort of feel like the pricing might be locked down. You could also consider a dealer in Delaware to possibly save your self some tax money.

 

I don't have the winch and bumper yet, but I have a synthetic line. My SIL bought a Jeep and dropped $15k or so in making it Brotastic. Her hubby did not like the that cheap, weak looking rope the winch came with. He wanted nice sturdy steel. I offered to take it off her hands so she would not have to throw it away. I am helping save the environment.

 

I was just thinking this morning about killing it off since it is never used.

 

What an idiot.

 

If you had ever met my sister in law, that would go without saying.

 

I know I'm a little late to the party but you know I'm always down for some wheeling!

 

I’ve been in meetings all afternoon...ready to go home now
