Northern Virginia Roll Call

Spotted @Darkgoatracer just now. Aston and Lamborghini suv? Life must be good for you..

 

Near you, looks like. I'm in Brambleton.

 

Oh awesome! Tomorrow in the morning, ill be replacing my tensioner bearing. You could swing by if you'd like and get one.

I just did fluids like you said. I have 113k miles. Need to do oil in a couple weeks, and air/cabin filters, and then my major maintenance should be done.

on the docket for me tomorrow is: tensioner bearing, AC clutch, and passenger brake caliper.

 

Might take you up on that, will have to see how today goes and how willing the boss would be to let me take a morning off! Question, are the tensioner bearings a regular interval replacement, or a "replace when they start acting up" unit?

 

Ive replaced my pulleys also, this is my last thing. I think it could be argued both ways. I am doing it as part of a mileage/preventative maintenance item. Im not sure if its bad.

 

We love it out there. It will be bittersweet leaving this house though. We bought it when we got married 25 years ago and raised a family in it, so lots of memories. But we're looking forward to the next chapter in our lives, which includes lots of mods to the truck!

 

Mark retiring early and stuff...

 

I wish! Fortunately I can telework which is what makes the whole thing viable.

 

Anyone have any recommendations for a budget 10L to 20L 12v fridge?
My ARB 50 is too big/heavy for my weekend and single day trips.

 

Iceco makes nice stuff, although I don't have any first-hand experience with them.

Always some free entertainment on FB lol. Guy posts pic of bright red fluid coming from the rear of his vehicle. Everyone was like bro your transmission is gone-zo.

Turned out to be a melted slushie lol

 

Damn sticky situations

 

That's fantastic!
I am so glad he fessed up about it haha

 

it is a really convincing trans fluid too haha

what happened now?

 

Its totalled

 

@Blze001 ive started. Already smashed my finger with mini bfh

 

I ordered some plate lights for the truck:

$12 CZC AUTO 4PCS License Plate Light, License Tag Screw Bolt Lamp, 12V White LED Bulb, Waterproof/Rainproof, Black Aluminium Light Holder, Legal for Car Motorcycle Truck RV ATV Bike

Looks like I'll have to cut the wire every time I change the plate, so I'm just going to use butt connectors into the stock plate light wires.

Also got some skinnier wheel spacers. I need to order some cheapo DOT approved fogs and then I'll give it a shot. Bumper height is the only remaining concern there I think, maybe the lack of swaybar.

 

I feel like an idiot. The front end of the truck has been clunking around pretty good. I assumed it needed a rack after listening to it. Come to find out there were a couple of skid plate bolts i never installed
