Northern Virginia Roll Call

No, look at those LCA brackets. I don’t think they are jd fab, but they appear to move the control arms forward a couple inches

 

Judging by that LCA, it all looks totally custom. He has a secondary bypass in the stock location and a coilover behind the CV. There's definitely some fuckery going on there.

 

@3pooches apparently that's a ranger.

Lol! Well that could play a factor

 

Thought something was wrong when I saw the RTR in the grille.

 

But how much does that look like a 3rd gen?

 

Once I saw pics from other angles in my search I could tell it wasn’t, but that pic you shared is spot on.

 

A lot. Even after Randy posted the video I'm confused.

 

Did a truck thing yesterday...drove down to NC to pick up the hauler for the skid steer.

 

I got some new loot myself

 

Not going to get a front bumper for a while but curious. Has anyone had an experience where they were glad they went with the full “cage?” and it saved their truck from significant damage? Like a cage that surrounded the lights vs just the bar in the middle? I like both looks and just imagine a deer/tree/side of a rock hitting my truck and smashing my lights if I didn’t go with the full cage.

I've only been in one situation while wheeling where the full hoops that I used to have may have helped out. Had to go through this twisty tight area with a little momentum and I rocked sideways into a rock jutting out of a wall. That's been it though. I don't regret going from full hoop to center hoop.

 

Came across this pic of tacomaholic's (brian) truck the first time I ever met him.
Went for a quick run to taskers gap I recall.

And then a few of my beloved fj!

 

Yea, that's not a bad idea either... I'll keep on the lookout.

Those are beautiful! I love the top plate + kickout

 

Brian had a bull bar?

 

Anyone know the part number or actual name of the heat shield that's under the transmission (and you have to remove to grease that zerk on the drive shaft)...well turns out I lost one of the bolts in the neighbors garage oil change before last...and of course I found the plate and one bolt.

My taco online-parts-foo is weak! Thanks in advance!

 

So you need the bolt or the shield?

 

Haha!

One bolt
