Northern Virginia Roll Call

I suggest buying a 100 series Landcruiser if you still have that Chevy.

 

The goal this weekend was to get everything primed. After 19 hours of wire wheeling with the grinder, drill, impact; cleaning the factory crud off, and priming while fighting the wind, done. 18 pieces. Like my parts rack?

 

I git a ram 1500 eco diesel haven’t owned a Chevy for a long time

 

Either way dude, you already have a truck. Get a LC 100, they all have V8s, and if you get an 03 plus they have 5 speed autos. That's the next truck I want, but Im going to do something really dumb to it...Im not sure if AEV makes a lift for your ram, I know they do for the 2500 series which can allow you to run 40s..which is also very sweet

 

I can’t run 35 on it now but I like my 30 mpgs

 

There she be

 

You really think the 35s would impact the mpgs on that thing? If its a diesel I think itd be negligible

 

It’s about 2-3mpg not much I’m waiting for the tires to wear out. But for the overland I’m looking hard at the 1st gen and wrangler wife always wanted one lol

 

Have you considered one of those mountain goats?

 

Rip billy!

 

New wheels are on, so my old setup is up for grabs. If anyone is looking for a weekend or beater set of 33s, look no further. Cooper Discover MTPs 285/75R16s Will let them go for a reasonable price. Probably half life left on them. All hold air.

 

Also, im gonna have a set of 1.75" Bora spacers up for grabs soon if anyone is in the market.

 

I might be interested, willing to drive down there

 

shoot me a pm

 

sent!

 

While Toyotas are generally reliable, and that 3.4 is one of the most reliable, I wouldn't be looking at a 20 year old vehicle with 190k for cross country trips. And, especially if you're used to the cab space of a full size, a 1st gen is going to feel really cramped. All depends on your budget I guess but based on what I have seen clean 1st gens going for, there might be other options in your price range.

I like @the.sight.picture idea of an LC, too!

 

Did you happen to take any pictures pictures showing offset/down the side? It’s hard to tell from the angle but it looks like there is offset even with the skinnies.

I almost got you a get well soon card after Tiffany showed me your decking incident. Hope ya didn’t mess anything up to bad, looked painful.

 

Do you mean how much poke do i have? I have 1.75" spacers on currently because the relocate in the rear rubs without them. I'm switching to 1" because the skinnies and new wheels gave me almost 1.5" more clearance from the suspension. This is the difference:

 

Another thought is a ford transit van, be about that #VanHoLyfe

 

Dat be true
