Northern Virginia Roll Call

They have it out for us public safety guys!

We were just posting at the same time... with your deer and my safe comment...
Hopefully less damage on yours than mine!

 

Doesn't look too bad, but it's still dark enough to not see the big picture.
You ok?

 

This was in November going down to the Thanksgiving dinner at the FH: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/northern-virginia-roll-call.188512/page-4631#post-22096305
Damage was 5700+

 

Ouch.
So far im glad the alignment didn't happen yet, something feels off

 

I moved 1 rock, that's it. But I noticed the same thing.

 

You went Saturday night and then back again yesterday?

 

Good deal on yea for doing so.

There is nothing worse than hitting up a spot to go off road that people love to go to. Only then to see it littered up.

I am by far a tree hugger, but there are many a group out there doing their best of trying to shut down trails, forest roads and the like, just because they can. These groups succeed like you wouldn’t believe across the country.

That said.... I have a hate for beanie weenies, Vienna sausages, and Dr. Pepper.... Picked up more of them cans out at Big levels/Bald mountain over the years, Than anything. I guess I should rephrase that some.... the hunters that leave them out there in the off season.

My apologies for the morning rant.

 

That shit is so annoying. It’s the same with mountain biking. Luckily it’s not as bad as far as trash goes but people are always looking for reasons to remove access to mountain bikes.

 

Rite rite. I didn’t mean to turn this into a WTF rant post. Haha.

I do give credit to the above mentioned club for there efforts in doing their part of clean up and trying to keep things open. They even get with NCBBA (North Carolina Beach Buggy Association) a couple times a year for beach clean ups as well.

I’m not trying to promote them in any form. just saying that on a state level, I like what they do.

 

Haha yeah I just see trash every now and then and get annoyed when I have to stop and put dirty trash in my bag haha. But yeah there are a lot of good groups out there doing work to keep stuff clean and access for everyone.

 

Why the hell does it turn the pic sideways? Anyway. I did a thing. Installed the Goose Gear seat delete deck. I ordered a Molle panel to use for the back wall but now See it will not work with the deck unless I trim the bottom about 1.5”. Need to get some insulation first.

 

And back on topic of mods.

Good deal!

 

Like that a lot. I wonder if they make it for the access cab?

 

Spent some bucks on this did ya?

 

I'd say it's worth every penny if you don't have the space/tools/ability to build something similar yourself. Only thing that bothers me about the Tacoma one is that it feels so unfinished without both panels and something on the back - saw the Gladiator model last week and it looks like it could be some factory utility package part it blends so well.

There really needs to be a competitor though... that's too much coin for some CNC cut plywood and some 80/20 bars.

 

Agreed. They have another portion you can, of course, purchase for the back. I wish there was a competitor. I should just build my own. But my carpentry skills are average at best.

 

they do.

yeah. Went back and forth on trying to do it myself or buying, but I am the measure twice, cut seven times and throw a bunch of shit away that I ruined type of carpenter. I sent a pic of an alternate someone did to a buddy who is handy and he balked at giving me a hand. I might fav up a short side piece to cover that gap under the front panel. Seems kinda silly to have an access panel when you can reach under from the side.

 

I love that these were posted at the same time.

 

Yup. Yup. I want something like this:

 

Shots like that make me want to measure out the GG panel when I get it, make my own, and sell theirs. I wouldn't be so frustrated with price if they had options but one-size-fits all isn't the best and I have no idea why they couldn't do recessed hardware.
