Northern Virginia Roll Call

No sweat dude, I appreciate it. I do have the Torque Pro app and bluetooth OBDII reader for monitoring, so I'm not completely in the dark.

I find that a stand alone unit would be more practical than Torque Pro and the Ultragauge has a nice big display. I don't always pull out the app, and most times when I'm going far and would want to monitor temps, I'm looking at directions and the road instead of the app

 

Thanks to @ilubtimmyhos for throwing UCAs on my large, unreliable, Mexican-made American truck. Was out on some gravel roads in Southwestern Loudoun last night and it was nice to have some down travel back. Would definitely recommend him to anyone trying to get work done on their Taco. Oh, and the beer was delicious, too. That Helles was as good as any I’ve had at a brewery. I’m bringing a growler next time.

 

did it have silver SCS wheels and near Fredericksburg? I know him, but hes not on TW

 

Will, did you get that tune yet?

 

Not 100% sure about the wheels. Passed me on rt3 west near the battlefield. Seems like a young guy & girl with a medium sized dog. Only taco I’ve seen with an (ARB?) box over the passenger seat and traction boards mounted to RTT.
The picture doesn’t do it justice but it looked top heavy.

 

I might have to borrow a sway bar from one of y'all if they are needed to pass inspection...

 

It appears dependent on the shop and or inspection technician.

I'm further south so I can't give recommendations on where you might be best served without needing to put it on. Regardless, I'm sure someone's got one stashed in the garage up there

 

Dave! Yep. Still testing it out and on the fence if I'm keeping it or going back to stock. I don't know what my deal is...maybe I prefer the stock tune and just don't realize it? I keep thinking that I'm going to screw something up long-term by having a tune on there, which I know is me just being paranoid. Any new mods to your Taco?

 

If you drive out to front royal there is a shop that I asked if a sway bar will impact inspection. They told me straight up. We aren't comparing your vehicle to another vehicle to check if you have stuff missing or not (aka, we dont give a shit). If you have problems send me a dm, ill shoot you the deets

 

Pretty sure i know the guy you are referring to, but he has a hc rear

based on my above quote, plates line up. Its my friend Andrew

 

for some reason i thought dude had an HC last time I saw him

 

Hmm not sure

 

Thanks y'all. At this point, my plan is to jury-rig some plate lights onto my truck, cap all the lights, and throw some cheap DOT approved fog lights on then get it inspected and see what fails.

I don't understand how they measure the bumper height, but I'm probably close to or past the limit. If anything fails, I'll use that 15 days to try and fix it. Y'all might see some panicked posts haha
