Northern Virginia Roll Call

I'm sooo dumb...never actually measured the spacer lift that the truck had a la dealership prior to me eyeing and buying. Always thought it was a 3in spacer.

So my BiL was really worried that I was dropping the front end with the coilovers being setup for ~2.5 inches higher than stock and I'd really be stink bugging in.

Turns out the spacer measures just at or below 2 inches! Haha

 

Middle or Right

 

Pizza night

 

A winch? can they not just strap that dude out?

 

I guess not lol one tug with a snatch strap is all it'd take.

 

My momma always said the reason alligators is sooooo angry, is cause they got alllllll them stickers, and no jerk strap.

 

That looks like a shit load of work

 

My buddy is putting on a car show in Stevensville if anyone wants to go.

 

New cap build going down tomorrow! Super pumped.

 

Your 4wd cnversion is finished/

 

Which one you end up going with? My RLD is showing up next Wednesday

 

Not yet. That's happening Aug 15th.

I'm basically building the cap part of the GFC using the DIY GFC thread and then mounting a new roofnest sparrow xl on top of it.

 

haha those darn long beds!
let me know next time you go and i will ride with you in your truck!

 

I may go tommorow, I'll send you a text and let you know if you are available

 

I went up FPK back in March with others from this thread when my truck was a week old (I did take the Predator steps off beforehand). I think we went up the medium path. I would definitely recommend going with someone who knows the path and can spot you, it can get pretty hairy for a newbie like myself.

 

You're probably correct. I don't recall what the actual boundaries were and it was a LOT smaller then and I was much younger.

When I first moved there the only thing between the Dam Site in Lake Jackson and I-95 in Dumfries were General Stores (Russell's and Samsky's), the fire station and a couple of churches. It was great place to grow up though, plenty of trails to ride motorcycles, and a gold mine for metal detecting.

 

I'll be the outlier and say I like the left

 

Earlier this year I checked off one of my bucket list items by buying the Tacoma. Just checked another one off and bought a welder (Titanium 170A). I'll be running a 220 V circuit in my garage today to get it plugged in and then should be ready to start.

QUESTION: For those of you who weld, is there a place around here you can get scrap metal to practice on? If not, what do you recommend buying to practice on?
