Northern Virginia Roll Call

Pm'd

 

Wheelers offroad has good prices, gettin mine through them

 

ALWAYS call DIBS

 

Soooo I just started with my custom turbo kit on my truck gonna take some time 2 complete because its not cheap but can't freakin wait!

 

what turbos you go with?

 

I believe those are singular...because TRDPARTS4U.com has them listed at $397 for a pair...I am assuming that some folks may want to buy them one at a time.

I got your PM...so, I believe you've called dibs on them.

Let me know if anything falls through then.

 

I am currently fighting off the urge, these have a better offset than the 17 TRD Sport I just put on my TRD OffRoad.
I just don't want to spend the $150-200 to get my tires and TPMS swapped over and balanced. My uncle might be interested...hummmm
(btw-i talked to dude, he is in woodbridge)

 

here some tundra wheels on craigslist. they arent what the ad says they are. theyre tundra/sequoia 17's http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/pts/3546104439.html

 

5 lug? Pic of the wheels?

 

i would assume aftermarket since stockers are 18's

 

Would you guys be interested in another mod / meet day? How would February 10th sound for everyone? If so, would you mind hosting again Luke? Just called Demello and they said my bumper is shipping out the week of the 28th (January). I'm also thinking about buying the 1/4'' top plate spacers to offset the weight of the bumper but I'm not sure my UCA's and CV's will like me...

If there's gonna be another mod meet soon, I may have to order the pins & shims for my AAL's. Anubody know if I will need u-bolts too?

 

Never ASS-U-ME ....

The tires they are sitting on are for sale as well. They are 20" tires. Have them listed on here for sale too.

 

Sent the bumper and sliders down to Extreme Powdercoating in Lorton. Sliders had an insane amount of surface rust on them after a week in the garage and I feel it will provide an overall better finish that can be touched up with rattle can.

Also, anyone have advice for fixing the squeaky blower motor? (besides the sticky thread) I was about ready to put a clip of .45 through mine today.

 

I spoke to them on the phone when I wanted to get my bumper powdered / color matched. Talk about a horse n pony show on the phone. I was told it would take around a month from start to finish, and price would be around ~$750...

I decided to get it painted since it was already powdered. They scuffed it up a bit and color matched and clearcoated over the powder. less than $100 and it looks great.

 

I couldn't find a good price on powdercoating around here when I was looking for my steps. I ended up doing line-x in manassas. The surface rust is just that-surface rust. An angle grinder with wire wheel attachment will take it right off, or even a hard bristle wire brush.
I'm scheduled to have my blower motor replaced tomorrow under warranty. The cricket showed up a couple weeks ago and comes and goes throughout my commutes.

750 just to powdercoat? maybe it was the colormatching that jacked the price up?

 

Anyone have any good recommendations for a reputable window tinter in the NOVA area?

 

The color matching was the kicker. They wanted $75 for the setup matching fee, $175 for the color, then the rest was their labor.

Tint!? We should get a group buy going on a tint shop locally. All of it is blotter cut now so there isn't really a way to mess it up besides the normal stuff. Not cleaning the windows well enough, not squeegeing all the soapy water out/ off, warranty duration.

My friends have used ziebart in ffx near the Harley dealership. But I was quoted +200 for my dcsb at one point, 300 another, 176 yet another, and then I spoke to the installer outside one day and was told 100....
