Northern Virginia Roll Call

Shhhhhhhh, plus I'm content using handheld comms for now...plus you need one for spoter work

 

Paradise tax they call it out here, lol. I think they sometimes try to do a few orders together at the same time and palletize stuff to share the cost.

 

I highly doubt it.... Can you get shipped via a MAC flight?

Just a thought.

 

No, I seriously think that the multiple orders per shipment is a thing out here. I want to say I read it in the local thread, but I'll have to find it...we'll see. As far as a MAC flight goes, I only wish I had those types of connections, haha. Talk about TW express!

 

Today's project is complete! Soon it will be time to start the new camper cap build!

 

Gotcha.

Damn right about that. You could have ALL the things you want.

 

You gonna do the GFC/ripcord style?

 

Yes BUT I'll have a roofnest sparrow xl on top instead of bed access into a homemade tent.

 

Ah interesting, never thought about that. That should be pretty sweet

 

Hahaha. I'm usually never there on my day off. Only when I'm working on one of my own vehicles or a tw member's truck. It's always Friday though. What do you need done?

What part of Skyline Drive? I live very close to the north entrance in Front Royal

 

All this mower talk and I browsed on over to Ariens. Man, they make some real nice riding tractors. Too bad they don't sell them here.

 

Glad to hear this.

I myself got a few new scratches. @EatSleepTacos might be right that the RCI skid isn't up to job. Or I could slow down at bit/take a better line.

 

Wire ties add the right amount of je ne sais quoi! Great job.

 

If ice cream were sex, you'd be moose tracks! And I like me some moose tracks!

 

Mmm. That stickout

 

Is that the steel variant?

I had a good thwack or two on mine but other than the bedliner coming off and it scuffing it held up tremendously well.

I will say, I’ve driving on a lot of smooth dirt and gravel roads and I found it downright meditative to be so slow on this, really enjoyed that aspect of it careful thinking and planning.

 

The front bumper driverside, side retainer clip and retained washer were busted pre/post take down for the bumper swap yesterday, nothing major, then I can replace the busted blue little clips and retape the fender pieces back on to tie into the bumper wings.

Alsoh rear door top strip of molding clips keep falling down into the door skin, and I think I'm down to my last 3 or 4 (3 needed I think)...just finiky clip retention stuff all around, nothing serious, but that shop space looks perrrrddy compared to my driveway or garage!

 

Thanks, they're even reusable...want not, waste not.

Flashy, function and very temporary solution for the day!

 

Also @PyritePirateBill we came in at the southern entrance, but have an annual pass, got up near loft mountain before the 6 month old finally had enough...thankfully she fell asleep about 40 minutes later on the cruise home.

 

At least you had them there...insurance enough!
