Northern Virginia Roll Call

They were made by a guy here on TW. The tails are great but took forever to receive after I paid (like 16 months!) so can't say I'd recommend him.

 

Looks good, but those bolt heads need painted or replaced with black oxide coated bolts. They stick out like a sore thumb.

Have they fogged up like the fishbowl headlights that he made for you?

 

Yeah I need to hunt some down. HD didn't have any. Tails haven't fogged up.

 

Do you know the bolt size/thread pitch/length?

 

All I got is M8-1.25x30MM for the top row and M6-1.0x30MM for the bottom row.

 

Start the kids vaping, and before ya know it, the vehicle lighting is doing it as well! Shame.

 

More than you'll ever need.

The first 2 links are Black Phosphate coated which has better corrosion resistance than the 2nd set of links that are Black Oxide coated. The first M6 bolt link is only 20 mm long, so it's a little over 3/8" short. They don't have them in 30 mm for whatever reason with the Black Phosphate coating.

Couldn't find any black M6 flange bolts on Amazon, but they had M8.

The dakars flex beyond the kings max travel?

 

The dakars paired with my hammer hangers do. Someone in the HH thread is running the same set up and gets like 12.5” travel, so just over the shock stroke. I haven’t pulled my B110 and measured droop yet though, so I’ll know for sure when I do.

 

If president trump looks like Comancho and fires a SAW in congress I will buy you a steak dinner

 

Soon! I have everything in, now I just need to find the time to do it. It’s a lot of work.

 

I’m just fucking with you. I’m in no way ready for them. At all.

 

@Darkgoatracer still looking for a rear end?

 

Sup fellas; its been a awhile since I posted here. Glad to see this thread lives and there's enthusiasts.

 

Just saw a pretty bad accident on 28S a few minutes ago. Single vehicle had gone off the road, flipped, and was completely engulfed in flames. Police had arrived just a few seconds before me, fire and rescue were coming the other way but had to go around since they were coming northbound. I am guessing driver maybe fell asleep. I didnt see anyone around but the couple officers. @CanisLupus might know if the driver made it out safe. Hopefully they did. The vehicle looked like a small hatchback. Honda fit or something similar.

 

from WTOP.....

VA-28
05:03 AM VA-28 southbound beforeMcLearen Rd, all traffic stopped by the accident, accident investigation.

 

So that means they died. Sad.

 

Saw this at wegmans yesterday. Enjoyed the bumper sticker.
