Northern Virginia Roll Call

More...it would be great to have Big Creek Rocks obstacles and a mechanical engineering course so that you could have theory and a lab available to learn.

 

Morning everyone!
Spent yesterday in the woods and damn i did not expect it to drop into the 30's. It was a much colder then planned sit in the stand.
Came out with nada, but did see 10. And 5of those were bucks all chasing the same for at a good clip right under me. 2 of the 5 were bordering on the largest buck I've seen around here.
But no bucks allowed for a couple more weeks

 

I think Nautiluses? Nautili? Need to be wrapped with something like this

 

Went over to the in-laws yesterday and got the taco up on the lift for some To Do List items knocked out:

Switched the Dobinsons Leaf Spring bolt next to gas tank (had minor rubbing visible from end of bolt)

• Before:

• After:

Sway Bar Deleted

Front Differential Drop Deleted (halfway then completed with skid plate on). So glad the front diff and support arms aren't sitting on the skid anymore!!

Removed and upgraded/installed single piece engine bay splash guards (DS and PS)

Did the 1st interval molygraph grease on SPC UCAs @51,786mi (don't worry I pumped the new ball joints with this grease during install with Elka's).

Cheapskated the OE fog harness exposed wire between loom and connector with electrical tape.

• Before:

• After:

 

Productive. Meanwhile, I'm switching out fluids and hammering on skids. And spark plugs. And propeller shafts. And TPMS sensoring. And washing undercarriages.

 

Oh yeah my tpms are all not registering, haven't been near discount for a resync yet.

Damn spark plugs, I always forget I'm due in 8k with fluids change, too.

 

Do you have the sensor codes?

Yes. You have plugs due. I haven't done the driver's side yet, but they look fun.

 

I drove mine 228 miles round trip to spend an hour and a half with my homie @Large BajaBlast one last time.

See ya 'round, mang.

 

Fuck you Plano!



Who wants a free Plano case?...I just drilled a 1/4" hole in it to drain the water. Soon to go in the trash if no one can use it. 32" long

 

Advertise it as a Plano portable waterport.... Someone will snatch it up

 

The last time I aired down it wouldn't reload until they reset them. If I were driving to work these days it would have already been done.

 

I’m eager to see those elka’s in action.

 

If by in action we're talking still work to get home, I am game/wanting to see what we can get out of them.

 

Yes. @crashdb says no ones aloud to break anything. There’s some areas you can pick up a little speed and I’m looking forward to seeing lap times.

 

Weird. Never had that problem.

 

If it's Greg breaking stuff I cannot control that kind of fate.

 

hey guys, new here and made a silly mistake doing a drain and fill on the trans just now. Anyone have a bottle of Toyot atfws they'd be willing to.part with. Of course it's a Sunday and all dealership parts dept are closed. TIA

Look and see if there's an aftermarket equivalent. If so, the Auto Advance joints should have it.

 

And if they try to sell you on the additive version where you add it to DEXRON or something... just don't.
