Northern Virginia Roll Call

If you see this truck servicing food, STOP, and eat!! We get 4-5 trucks a week at work. This is by far the favorite. Unless the wood fired pizza guy comes back.

You back at VT already? For some reason I thought we went back at the same time (24ish). I think Tiffany and I are planning on having some snow fun on MLk I’ll keep ya posted.

 

They start next week. My son already went back but he's just there to play this week.

 

I'm not there yet, I'm leaving Saturday early morning to try and avoid college drivers on 81 returning to school. Sunday is the beginning of the week for the bus schedule and Tuesday is the first day of school.

If you do something, I might be able to come. I only work until 1 on sunday, and it's not too far of a drive. Depending on how bads the road are

 

Seriously guys, if you don't already own a set....get some traction boards. Fastest, easiest way to get unstuck and help others. Just make sure the heavy foots understand that spinning on the boards is very bad and ruins them.

 

Anyone in the NOVA area need a brand new thin fin? I got it and realized.....I should've read carefully....not for my year/model. I'll give it to you at better than family price. Not for Gen3. Let's say $120 venmo/cash. Shipping extra.

Any brand(s) you recommend, or any to avoid?

 

When I was buying I thought about getting cheaper priced versions, but the MaxTrax have worked really well and gotten 5 people unstuck in pretty sketch situations.

I think it was Maxx Powell (on YouTube) that did a review of the 5 most common brands.

Something I didn’t consider until after using them was how most street tires can’t grip them as intended (stick in front of stuck tire to go forward) I assume you have an AT/MT tire?

 

Yep, no problem there. I've got some big ol mudders.

 

He's got Nick's old truck, so tires arent an issue

 

I only tried a few out and can tell you that the cheaper ones are legit cheap. They are stiff and break easily. The maxxtrax (got old and beatup) and action trax (same thing to me) are made sturdy and will bend with the tire if going over a ditch. I'm using actiontrax now (I think that's what they're called) and it's been great. They actually sent me a 2nd pair after getting my order wrong (ordered studded ones) and I gave the first set away promising the company I'd ask another member to provide some usage feedback. Anyway, so far so good on UV (a little fade but not a lot), pliability, and material strength.

 

A bit non standard for the wiper tank relocate, but I think it will work well. Now for paint, reinstall, and fill with sauce

 

Good work on that bracket, looks clean.

 

10 days ago I thought my student loan was paid off. I logged in to check, and ........ Nope!

They processed the payment incorrectly and left me with a, get ready for this, -$.22 principle balance, and a $7.62 interest payment on that balance.

A lengthy phone call was made and the began. I generated my payoff quote the day before they processed the invoice for the next payment, thus my pay off was less than the invoice. When I sent the payoff in through their own system, they processed the payment, not the payoff. I still don't understand that, since they claim that this a "fully automated process." (It isn't, someone takes your request, generated in their system, with your authorization, and manually accesses your account to get your money - Lendkey calls that automated.)

They said they'd investigate. "Please notify me via email when this is Resolved." Nope.

Logged in today to see this:



Now, 13 payments later, this thing is officially done!!

Do yourself a favor. Avoid these idiots like it's a new covid variant!!

@Lendkey:
