Because We're Not North Enough To Be NOVA, We're Just Stuck Between the North and the True South

Good luck brother

 

Good nearly noon.

Good luck.

 

Morning all!

Had to go get some new tenny pumps, sneakers, walkin’ shoes or what ever the hell the new term is today.

Wearing boots every day for the last 28 years is taking a toll on the feets.

 

are any of you guys familiar with the local wildlife management areas? looking for some that have not so much a trail to go wheel but one that could lead to some camping. I have researched pettigrew, C. F. Phelps, Mattaponi, and AP hill. Everything seems to have a parking lot and walk in to camp. Just looking for a more local place to go impulse camp.

 

CF Phelps has no camping I am aware of. You want to look at the Rapidan WMA. It is in the mtns in Madison co, has trails you can ride, free camping, a trout stream to fish in and all you need is either a hunting licemse, fishing license, or you can obtain a pass from somebody around there for only a few dollars if you have a hunting or fishing license it is all free.

Shame y'all decided to bail the other night we had the make sure there was space for you at the table. we had a rally good time.

 

yeah nothing against yall, just going with the flow.

I normally take trips out to madison to go camp, just was seeing if there were more local options i was surprised i couldnt find much. Im located in masaponax so even like being able to drive to bowling green, caroline or summerduck wouldnt be bad to go camp

 

I hunted Phelps in the past when I lived in Remington granted i haven't been there in a while but never remember any camping there

 

Big Woods and Amelia WMAs have camping but I don't know if its walk in sites or drive to sites.

 

Evening James. What kind of tires are you running again? I know they are 255x85x16 right?

 

Hey y’all, dealership says I need new brake drums (warped). They say rear axles are in spec. Is this something I can/should do myself or give the dealership $450?

 

I’d do it myself. How many miles do you have on it?

 

Cooper ST Maxx

 

You could get the parts for way cheaper replace the drums and pads. As far as labor IDK

 

13000 miles, a little past the warranty for brakes unfortunately

 

With only 13k I would be raising hell. Rear drums do not go bad after 13k. I have 119k on my 2012 and my drums and pads are still original.

 

Casper's correct. Cooper ST Maxx 255/85/16

 

It's something you could do yourself if you're mechanically inclined

Replacement drums from rockauto, Amazon, or anywhere else on the internet or in town are bound to be cheaper priced than dealership

I'd pull the drums and measure them myself or take them to another shop for a second opinion. Drums don't normally go bad, and not in pairs.

If you can verify the drums are good then you raise hell for the dealership lying about it.

If they're bad replace the drums and I'd replace the shoes and hardware too, shoes and hardware in the drum are inexpensive and good insurance in case it's those faulty parts that messed things up...

 

Ditto! I'd be a little upset too. Although I know that dealership seem to always find a way to worm out of doing what's right so it often feels like it's not worth fighting over, I'd still raise some hell over it. You might get lucky.

 

Drums can also be turned. With 13000 miles on them they should be able to. At the very least they will be able to confirm they are warped or not

 

Morning fellas
