Northern Virginia Roll Call

Sweet! The wife and I actually have plans this weekend outta state so that's a nogo, but I'm open after 12 on weekdays and next weekend I'll be wide open. I can wait if you can.

 

Ok lets do next weekend. Ill pm you my number. Just txt or call me

 

BS, you coming to the meet on the 25?

Also, thanks for actually taking a picture that shows the wheels. I can really see how they look.

Your truck looks badass

 

Quick reminder for everyone! We will be having a meet Tuesday, the 25th at the Hooters in Fairfax off of Fairfax blvd.

We'll be getting started around 630, hope to see everyone there!

 

We shall see if I get my trans back in time I don't think I will so next meet my truck should be there

 

Hey! New to the area. Moved down from NY/MA early last month and finally getting all settled in. Depending on my schedule I hope to make it to your meet up next week and meet some of you guys!

 

Welcome! Where are you located in the area?

 

I'm in the Dulles area.

 

Sweet so close to me if you need anything for your vehicle hit me up its what I do for a living. Custom you name it

 

Any of you guys do the Anytime Foglight Mod? I'm pretty much a retarded seal when it comes to wiring, so I would like some help from someone who's done it. I could pay for materials and help if anyone is willing.

Now that I have yellow Lamin-X on my fogs, I would like to be able to turn them on independently of my headlights.

I just lol'ed

 

Not sure if my '13 is different than the '11 wiring, but I have it done. If you're going to be there Tuesday I can show you.. It took all of 5 minutes to do in the Advance Auto parking lot lol I've got leftover wiring and stuff if you dont want to spend the $7ish to buy it all.

 

No more need to worry. Its a different dealerships problem now. Traded in for an 09 Accord EX-L. My wife never used 4wd and was captivated by the navigation system. She also was intrigued by this thing called "fuel efficiency". Apparently the V8 lacked in that department, especially next to the four banger she's dealing with now. Overall, it was for the better. Thanks for offering to help though! You guys are A-OK in my book.

 

Hey guys, I'm re-doing the radio setup in my truck. Switching to a multi-purpose antenna setup instead (for the dogs tracking collars as well as radio).

If any of you guys want my current one I'll sell the whole setup (radio, handset, speaker, antenna, tailgate mount, and SWR meter) for $40.00.

Either come and get it or pick it up Tuesday at the meet.

It's basically this (with Wilson 4' Flex):

And the BAMF tailgate mount:

Probably a $200 value.

 

I would be interested. The past few days I have actually been researching/figuring out how exactly I would want to do my setup, if you've already got one fully designed that would be awesome.

Is the meet up still on for tomorrow at 6:30 at the Hooters?

 

Also, does anybody have any recommendations for where to get audio wire, terminals and solder slugs for building an aux circuit? Everything online seems to be sold in bulk.

 

That's one way to fix it!

 

Yes, the meet is still on.

 

Auxiliary circuit in what regard? Are we talking (1) an auxiliary fuse panel to run 12 volt accessories or are you talking (2) an audio channel?

If you're talking a 12 volt auxiliary line; bring your truck over and I'll wire you up...I am your huckleberry when it comes to vehicle wiring.

Here is some of my work from this weekend:







I'm installing auxiliary wiring for my ARB air compressor, ARB front air locker, and my Hella front driving lights. I'm using the nice Carling switches and mounts with custom switch labeling. I have since rotated the switches 180 degrees. This coming weekend I'll install my Blue Sea Systems fuse panel and run the wiring harness to the relays and fuse panel in the engine compartment. The joys of wiring.

Spithead - was that you behind me this morning on Braddock? I was driving my gray Mini JCW and I think you were next to me and behind me almost all the way until I broke off to go 495 Express North and you headed South on 495. Your truck is looking nice.
