Northern Virginia Roll Call

Haha. Same here. Happened to be walking the isles at Northern tool today and seen them. I got to laughing at ‘em, then the lightbulb dimly lit.

 

Not from 2024

 

Late to the party here, but I like the changes to the front end. And the Trailhunter, minus that bed / chase rack has some appeal. But I won't get get a first or second year new generation vehicle. I will say, if that Trailhunter showed up in Solar Octane, you may have to talk me down. Or the price may do that for you.

 

Anyone looking to purchase a new AR upper?

I have the following up on GB. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/988345687

Let me know if anyone is interested.

 

@PyritePirateBill does the shop have a single factory tacoma lug nut floating around that i could swipe?

 

Ashburn, eh?

 

Should've posted this when I posted the push mower, but didn't think about it. The lawn implement liquidation continues! I have some eGo cordless lawn tools. LB5300 leaf blower, PH1400 powerhead with attachments (string trimmer, edger, hedge trimmer), and one charger and two batteries. I would prefer to sell it in one package deal, but I could break it up. $300 for the whole deal?? We can discuss prices if attempting the break up. Everything works just peachy. We got a lawn service a few weeks ago and I don't think we're looking back. Even if we do, I'll probably just get Milwaukee stuff so I have one platform to deal with.

Next lawn implement post may be the riding mower......

 

What size are the batteries?

 

56v, 2.5 AH. If you're looking to just purchase the batteries, I'm going to hold off on breaking everything up for now.

 

Would potentially be intersted in the riding mower...

 

Has anyone used the uhaul flatbed trailer before and have any input? Now that I'm a real adult, I'll be starting my job in Indiana and likely be towing my 4runner on a trailer when I move out there this summer. Uhaul says the trailer will work for a 2005 4runner, so on paper it sounds like it will work.

We used one once when a buddy towed his 4runner out of AOAA with it, so I know I'm going to need some oversized tire straps. But that was a while ago and kind of sporadic, so I dont remember many details about the trailer itself. Thankfully my 4runner isn't really any wider than stock, so width wise everything should be good.

I'm comfortable towing a trailer, so no issues there. But I do wish Penske rented flatbed trailers, so I could rent a diesel truck too.

 

I'll keep you in mind, Will. I'm still trying to decide. I just bought it last year, so it's hard to just turn around and sell it.

 

I used a front wheel lift to pull my Focus and it worked well. I did use one of the car haulers from Uhaul to move warehouse racks and it also worked well.

Uhaul may have an option for the straps. I would think they realize that not all vehicles run smaller tires. It may be an extra fee, but it would probably be cheaper that buying them.

Penske vs Uhaul, I'd go with Uhaul. I've had a couple of notn
so good experiences with Penske trucks.

 

No worries, thanks. I have two inoperable mowers at the family farm in OH that I am trying to get fixed; may end up having to purchase something, which is why I brought it up.

 

Possibly

More so in the South Bridge area, but Ashburn nonetheless.

 

My rental on my last trip. 2023, built in feb. Wish the 24s were there, i would like to drive one. Maybe it would convince me to sell the jeep earlier than planned. I am both shocked and happy that toyota is still offering a manual in the 4th gen.

 

Cools. I’ve been thinking of selling off the jeep for the last year, but just put new tires on it yesterday. Soooooooo, it looks like it may hang around a bit longer. That said, 9 years in it, and it’s wearing on me. The Taco… I can’t bring myself to do anything to it. Just no interest in doing so.

 

Finally got around to replacing the dull headlights. Curious to see how these hold up.
