Northern Virginia Roll Call

Haha. Nah no chickens. And your all good. I wasn’t smart enough to figure out chick was short for Chickahominy.

 

.

It's a local dialect you have the chick, and the phunky munkey that make up the borders of New Kent

 

Yeah man. Kinda like people around Wytheville calling it wiffle.

 

Let me know when you wanna trade up. I need a 14ft for my kubota

 

It's all good brother. I didn't know either.

 

I'd be interested in the 14'as well. Apparently a 24' gooseneck is too big

 

We are having a get together at our house near Staunton Va September 25th. We have some short trails and obstacles to play on throughout the day and will be providing food for dinner. If you are interested in joining, let me know. The current info can be found here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/holding-pattern.734623/

 

winch/bumper = on

 

You ain't fuck around.

 

6112s and 5160s should be here in 2-3 weeks and then I'll be done for a little while... I found them in stock at Wheelers

 

Famous last words. Spoken them many times myself.

 

So between working up grade and sqft in the main yard and foundation needs, and the 20 month old (captain of team no nap!), I finally got around to fooling around a bit with loading up the grapple with the bucket inside it, loading them up on the machine I then tried loading up facing forward with the combo attached. Then dropping the combo up towards the front and loading the machine in backward vs. forward. The bucket and grapple weigh somewhere around 750-800# together, I'd guess.

Wish I could tandem pull the utility trailer behind the skid trailer, then extra and rental attachments wouldn't be a problem (fyi I'm just doing personal chores/projects with family and friends...so not a commercial/$$ endeavor). Plus I'll be using a 1500 Ram vs. the Taco.

Trailer and skid with bucket is 6,155# just off listed operating weights...so even with the towing package, upgraded leafs, hammer hangers and coilovers and shocks, not gonna push it.

To your point Ryan, I had also been eyeing trailers that came with the shelf/rack for minis like the bobcat MT and Vermeer stand on skids.
Again not necessarily needing all those carry options...but some more than none

Just checked the drone shots for the wife's mulch and river rock plans

 

I guess a plate is the best thing to loose on a trail?




Anyone with experience mounting a 12.5in wide on a 7in wheel? From what I’ve seen online it’ll work with possible wear issues. Really wanting to put 34/35s on but don’t wanna buy wider wheels.

 

I said that once. Then I saw _________

 

Kenda makes 35x10s .

 

I've seen 35x12.5s on the trd 4runner wheels, which are 17x7, so they will physically fit

And like @TaKoToy said, kenda 35x10.5s are a thing

Much easier to fit the skinnies in the wheels wells too. I started on finally clearancing the rear this weekend, then I gave up lol

 

This is what I used for my 50' run from the dryer outlet to the basement where I brew on 220 and it was $48 a year ago:

$121 50' 10/3 SOOW SO Portable Power Cord Cable UL Approved, 10 AWG 3 Conductor Heavy Duty Rubber Cable, 600V, Black, Flexible

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0779GCY4R?ie=UTF8

Used this plug:

Nema 10-30P Plug 30 Amp 125/250 Volt Angle Plug, 3 Pole 3 Wire Grounding Straight Blade Plug for Dyer and Ranges LK3331

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07T1PC9CM?ie=UTF8

and this receptacle:

$13 EATON WD125 Dryer Electrical Receptacle, V, 30 A, 3 Pole, 3 Wire , Black

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FPDO4Y?ie=UTF8

The only downside is if someone needs to use the dryer while brewing or wants to brew while clothes are drying...

 

Very few shops will do it, at least out my way.

 

Assuming because of the width ratio (not height). So I’d hope a shop wouldn’t give me a hard time if I picked Kenda’s 10.5 since it’d be skinnier than my current set up.
Thanks for the heads up @TaKoToy, I don’t remember seeing those before but they seem like a legit option.

 

I had my kenda 35x10.5s mounted and balanced at Walmart, so if they can do it, anyone can. Balance was spot on and there aren't a lot of weights on the wheel, so I presume thats at least somewhat of an indication of the tires quality of manufacturing. The skinny takes some getting used too on the rear of the 4runner since its big and bloby back there, but they look fine on the tacomas to me
