Northern Virginia Roll Call

Everyone has a talent

 

I've watched like 5 videos now. Every time I expect to see something different.....nope it's this idiot shoving his arm in some animal's mouth.

 

Did they press them in straight or at an angle? Not sure if that matters for the delta joint but it does for the uniballs. Icon offered me replacement arms for 350 each

 

We both know you didn’t get a new phone...

 

The Icon billet UCAs have a slanted bore which require a special tool to install which I bought and supplied to High Tech Auto. Compared to pics I've seen the delta joints look to be pressed in correctly, I'm just not sure why there are so many scratches on the UCAs.

 

If the used the icon tool there shouldn’t be any scarring like that what side is messed up i have a driver side that is for sale

 

Yep, that's the problem since I wasn't sitting over the installer's shoulder watching the install I have no idea if he even used the required tool. I sent them an email about it this morning so very curious to see what they'll say.

 

I dont own this one. Looking to buy one in this same area. Our landlord said no to buying this one but we are hoping to stay in Fox Mill. BTW, i have beer you need to stop by for lol

 

So I was checking out some of your recent videos and figured I'd get your thoughts on the KC flex fogs you've got...unless I missed a review video.

 

Hey all! Sorry I haven't been as active lately. Been selling and moving, etc. But, now I'm finally at the point of completion. Sold lake house, bought new house, selling townhouse in centreville (well about to go on market). And, had to buy a new truck.

I've been debating over bed racks lately and I spent more time researching them than I'm allowed. I need something for my 11.5ft kayak and don't like the idea of it sticking out 6 ft out the back end. Comparing between full height Leitner racks and UpTop racks and hands down the Leitner is very practical and modular....but that cost! So, I think the full height UpTop it is! Even get it color matching! Now I just need time to plan putting it all together and wiring all the lights. I'll post pics when I get around to the updates. Just happy to be back!

 

Dude, that's just wrong on your UCA. I honestly expected more professionalism than that from HighTech. Hopefully they make this right.

 

I love the KC flexs. I did an install vid with them and the Baja Designs Squadron sports called "Baja Designs Squadron Sports + KC Hilite Flex | Wicked Tacoma Lighting Combo"

 

So far all they've done is ask for more pics. We'll see.

 

I'm looking at grabbing the full UpTop Truss rack as well ... and @Demo man has one on order that should be here any day now.

Bri….all this time and I never put 2+2 together. From the 1st time we met (I was in my FJ) and we went on a quick trail ride. And now I've been watching all your vids! duh....what was I thinking. Good stuff dude. I'll be up in Centreville this Thursday during the day if your around.

 

Lol that was a few years ago before the Tacoma bug really hit me. I'll definitely be around Thursday.

 

Snapped a cool pic of the sunlight hitting the new AC panel wrap.

 

It's like god wants you to mod.

 

I am from Loudoun County, Virginia outside of Purcellville. I bought at Voodoo Blue 2020 Tacoma Offroad Premium AT DCLB on Saturday from Koons in Westminster, MD.


When I went to go test drive it, I didn't realize that the Offroad Double Cab even CAME in a "long" bed. It is only a bit longer, but it should be helpful for carrying my KMX Viper Trike which barely fits into my Colorado bed and doesn't leave room for other bikes.

I picked it up on Saturday, and now, two days later it is still completely stock. LOL. It could use a bed cover of some kind and a trailer ball. It might get some kind of a bike/trike mount for the bed. Those pop-up tents that levitate over the roof look really cool, but I doubt I will go that far.

I would be especially interested in seeing a Diamondback cover (either SE or HD, probably black) if anyone has one. The idea of mounting the trike and/or 2 bikes on top of the cover is appealing. Total weight might be as much as 100# on top.

My truck would be interested in getting together with other Tacomas:
- in the northern half of the state
- in most of Maryland (checked in there too!)
- in Eastern WV
- anywhere that is a really interesting drive
