Calling all Toyota owners in the Lynchburg and Charlottesville and surrounding areas!

this is sounding like a fun route... if it all works out I definitely wanna run it with y'all next month

 

No I got a friend who's been up there a handful of times so I know of what I've heard

 

Last time I went up it, there was 8 inches of snow and 1 inch of ice and I thought I wasn't going to make it

 

Glad you got out that would've sucked! I kno we will prob need 4x4 and I'm bringing the saw in case of trees, I just got to the house and made sure the Ubolts were good so I will see you guys at north side in the morning, fucking centering pin pissed me off

 

Alright dude I'll see you in the morning

 

are you running stock unbolts or have you switched to a flip kit? either way I'd guess that it should all be fine sense the center pin is sandwiched in there so it's not like it's gonna fall out, lol

 

No I don't have a flip kit, ordering that with new centering pins but I will be fine, if I get into something where the Ubolts fail the centering pin ain't doing nothing anyway

 

very true!! where you gettin the kit and pins from?

 

Wheelers probably I got my bumpstops there, if you have rec's, I'm all ears!

 

well I love my AllPro flip kit, I think they're $60? the center pins I just got form toytec, only $9 and I needed em NOW so I didn't shop around too much but I've never heard much bad about their stuff so I'm ok with it. FYI, the toytec's come at 4" so you'll prob have to cut them down like I did but a grinder makes quick work of it, or hacksaw if you're join with the old-school method

 

Yea I'll prob go with the all pro flip kit and just get centering pins from wherever. I wanted to do it initially but just wasn't in the budget and this is a good time!

 

I get that! Mine were done with Xmas money also, just a note on the AllPro's I haven't figured out why, it doesn't seems to be a "problem" just a weird fact, when tightening the bolts, it's tike the threads are off by a hair or something, I KNOW i haven't cross threaded them, and the threads on both the bolts as well as the nuts are in good shape, but there's NO just spinning them down to finger tight so you don't have to wrench as much. as soon as you've got the threads aligned they stop turning by hand and you have to got the next 1" plus by tool. with the outside nuts it's not such a big deal cuz I can get an impact in there but the insides take about 5 min a piece to get tight on my new setup..

 

Ordered the all pro flip kit and centering pins, thanks

 

Sounds like we have a good run tomorrow I'm pschyed to go with y'all and meet y'all as well.

 

NICE!!!!! you'll love em! Just be sure to have that deep well socket on hand, haha



ALSO: I've officially decided that I"m join to MOAB next year for Rock Therapy, I'd love to go this year but ninth me or Baja are ready for all that so I'm giving myself a year to prepare both... anyone else wanna make some long term plans to prep both our trucks and ourselves for the long trip and amazing weekend out west??

 

My bad! Just saw this - whenever and wherever is fine. I'm off work at 7:24am and usually get home at about 8:10 and can be in the 'burg within about 20 minutes from that time.


Work should be slow so I'll probably be on here for most of the night...lol

Send me a text in the a.m. 434-426-1707 if I haven't responded on here

 

what do you do that has you workin nights?

 

Chemist at Abbott Labs in Altavista...pretty good gig

 

ya sounds good!! I can't imagine being stuck inside like that but that's just me... I'm not one for inside jobs at all

 

so... nobody's gonna get excited with me about MOAB 2015??
