Calling all Virginians (Tidewater area)

The 1st gen is Paul's old truck. Who bought it? I know the guy that bought it from Paul was selling it on CL.

 

A guy on my base. Super cool guy and he wants to wheel it and take that massive amount of preload out of it.

 

Yeah, way too much pre-load. It doesn't wheel too well (which is why it was sold IIRC) but I think most of that was the pre-load.

 

Considering selling my dakars and going to deavers. If I do, is anyone interested in them? Currently built as medium duty but I have two pairs of AAL that I will include. I can also assemble them as HD or super HD. They're the new dakar model with maybe 15k miles on them. Still in great shape, would like a little smoother ride in the rear. Would ask $450.

 

Damn you mine are for sale too your going to love the deavers. Mine have a firmer feel but still handle the bumps. should be really great with KONGS. What stage deavers you looking at ?

 

You’re part of the reason I wanna switch! Stage 1 U402.

 

I know it’s short notice. I did a post on the FB page and forgot to post here as well. A couple of us are meeting for tacos at 715 at taqueria la hacienda in Chesapeake if anyone wants to join in

 

Selling my comfy ass sleeping pads.

Not sure if anyone is following the Tidewater Toyotas page on FB, but we're doing a meetup at Farmhouse Brewery at 2pm on September 2nd, everyone is welcome.

 

Good meeting everyone yesterday. MGM sale and random HD meet

 

How the hell is everyone doing? I was cleaning out my toolbox and found a set of cab mount chop plates if anyone wants them. Free to whoever comes and picks them up....

 

Say when and where...by the way are they a particular "brand" (curiosity got the best of me)

 

Random TW meet, see y'all Monday afternoon for beers.

 

What setup do you have? I may be interested....

 

Sooooo I managed to tear a hole in one of my tires today. Rather than buy a new spare, I think I’ll just get 35s.

Anyone wanna buy 4 295/70r17 Cooper mtp with about 2/3 tread? $300. They have some character but they’ve treated me well.

 

Hate that it had to be these circumstances brother, but I'm glad you're making the jump with me.

 

@EatSleepTacos what gears are you going with/already have installed? Also, what size 35's are you thinking?

Been thinking about making the jump myself, but can't seem to justify it. Curious about your plan though

 

I already have 4.88. For a second gen manual transmission, 4.56 and 35s is a nice pairing. I purposefully over geared since it’s not my DD and I wanted the slightly lower ratio off road. Top speed suffers (turning 3k rpm at 68 mph) but I just cruise at 65.

I need to look around and price stuff out but I’ll just be going with 315/70r17. Likely the cooper stt pro due to the beefy sidewall.

 

Wheels are sold. Just have tires
