Northern Virginia Roll Call

Just sounded like he was driving around my neighborhood that is my everyday

 

Where were you? Sounds like where I live

 

No but I'm about to order it now. Thanks Randy!

 

That’s normal then. ECGS bushing should eliminate some of the slop.

 

Yeah, maybe living in the country we take such things for granted.

 

We do it's just "normal" life for us. Working where you do as I did at the airport it should help you appreciate it more though at least it did for me. I now have a 10 mile 15 minute commute with no traffic unless I get stuck behind a tractor or school bus. 50% less money than I was making and 100% less stress

 

Evening fellas. Looking for some help. Long story short. Bought a reg cab 4x4. It’s getting a new frame and figure may as well put a new lift on. I do t want to spend big money like I did with my ‘12. So. Any recommendations? It’s going to be my DD.

 

The OME or Bilstein kits from @HeadStrong Off-Road ill eventually do one of those. Unless I can magically afford a king kit

 

I have an Icon Stage 3 on my 2012. But do t want to put that kind of $$ into a DD. Was thinking of Bilstein 6112 up front with 5160’s on the rear. But looking to see what others are running or recommend

 

SAS with king coils all around

 

Lmao. The will cost more than I paid for he truck.

 

If you are just going to dd, id say just get a ome kit with all

 

Semi drunk and probably unpopular opinion...

Do you guys think Yota should start selling Tacos and T4R's with actual base armor as options. Im not talking that tinfoil trd skid plate. But team up with one of devs for real armor and idk at least come with real protection instead of stuff like dumb tube steps and shit that they claim protects it? It's like we all know that's semi false advertising. I get some people and maybe the majority buy these vehicles for non true offroad purposes. But I think it'd be great if they actually teamed up with a true body armor company regardless of which one as a main provider directly to Toyota at least US for an included options for real armor on new vehicles.

Idk just dumb drunk thoughts.

 

Welcome!!
I had a couple vdubs as well. Last one was an '03 GLI VR6

 

I was on roads a few minutes from me in Fauquier and Loudoun counties.

 

I'd have to say no. It would be overpriced compared to what you could buy it for now. Also, I highly doubt many (if not any) of the companies that make Toyota armor have the production capacity to be able to supply the number of parts needed for an OE option. Could you imagine the lead times if they had to increase over their current levels by 2-3x to be able to supply Toyota?

 

I have to agree. They would never be able to keep up with the demand. Maybe if they retooled and started a whole production line vs by hand. But that takes away from the craftsmanship in my eyes. Let alone we all like different companies. Only way they could do it is make it part of a Pkg deal say with the OR or Pro straight from the factory. Lime the TRD skid plate

 

Morning my little window lickers

 

Happy Saturday bots and girls, hope you're getting out to play!
I'm off to work in Fredericksburg.

 

The yard will be my play area today.
