Northern Virginia Roll Call

It's 3" lift. It's the dobinsons "long travel" rear for the 4runner, so they're 12" shocks in the back. Stock is like 6" or something

 

What’s everyone doing for the 4th?

 

Blowing shit up at your house?

 

Working most likely... My weekend on call.

 

This^^^ or maybe cape lookout

 

Thanks. I'm really impressed with the camera on my new phone. In the original pic you can read nutritional facts on the can of Pam on my tailgate

 

There's nutrition in Pam?

 

Anyone want to do a ride and/or come over on the Fourth of July?

 

Yes

 

Well, now that you ask...

 

Just saw this on FB if anyone's interested. May include an air mattress.

 

Damn, wish I could come out but we're headed out of town for our annual family vacation. Maybe next time...

 

Coming along. Hopefully it's ready for me to go to work tomorrow lmao

Edit: got both fronts done. Was easy once I figured out which bushings to use from the shocks and new tophats

 

Cape Lookout in July will eat you alive. Fyi

 

Well crap, rear brake hard lines were kinda crusty where it goes into the soft lines over the axle, and need to replace soft lines with longer lines (which I do have) for the dobinsons. I'd feel better just ordering the hard lines that run along the frame and probably the axle ones so it's all fresh. I traced the lines back to the booster and they all looked okay, so just need the rear section that disconnects halfway down the frame.

This 4runner has some places of the frame that are really good, and some that are really bad. Beyond the rear axle is one of the rough spots, so the lines were right in the bad stuff. Where lines connect halfway up frame, everything is mint and factory paint all there no rust.

I've got alternate transport to work, so I'm all okay there


They're wet from pb blaster soaking, not from leaking fluid but here's a crustnado pic


edit: Brake lines can be had in at fredricksburg toyota for $120 for all lines going to the rear, the lines along the axle, and the flex line brackets. I already have the longer flex lines, so now will have all fresh lines to the rear

 

FYI - Tepui tent recall - https://www.thule.com/en-us/product-recall/hybox-recall

 

I wish they would recall this POS Mt Baker CVT I have. I'm on email 3 without a response.

 

I'm about 20 miles north of there right now. Skeeters are out but it's this those no see ums that suck.

 

Thinking about going to big levels on Thursday and cooking out. If anyone is bored.

 

i can get a response from gfc faster than that!
