Northern Virginia Roll Call

Skygear, I gotta link up with you and discuss a CMC or at least some minor variations of pinch weld hammering. No large meat yet, but I want to be prepared prior to slapping it on what I am in for. I am not settled on the size, but 35 may be a bridge too far. No less than 33, and also looking at a 4.56 regear.

 

Sorry I missed it! What kind of stuff did you guys do?

 

I'm interested. When are you thinking?

 

I'd be down for just some wings or something somewhere. I guess it depends on who all is coming for where we would have it. It seems like the Fair Oaks area is usually a pretty middle-ground place, but I'm really up for whatever.

 

I'm in.

 

I wouldn't mind going back to that Open Road place in Merrifield, but there was like no parking. What would you all say about the buffalo wing factory I'm fair oaks?

 

I'd be in...Open road parking does suck, but it's a cool spot..do you know if they have a good HH?

 

I have the full set of bud's on my FJ front to rear with differential skid and sliders w/kickout. It's top notch with the best powder coat on anything I have. I recently took them off (last spring) and serviced them...and noticed some really deep scars from trips to rausch. Let's just say they're worth it if you do any type off roading or decide to run over smart cars....

 

Did you get these wired up yet?

 

Koons Tysons Toyota will soon be equipped to do the frame recalls. If you have ANY questions PM me
it's looking like I'll be the one doing them once the other shop is up and running.

 

Yep! Love them!

 

I'm looking for a place. Tell me when to come in.

 

Check this out. Getting one myself - http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2n...-body-mount-relocate-kit-redgoatfab-haws.html

Also. I swear I replied to this. Must have been when my account was having issues last night.

I banged the weld and removed the liners When I had the 32.xx tires. 35" I had already prepped for everything.

Plans is for 37" for me once I get the frame replaced from toyota. 4.88 gears are the next mod for me and the Air lockers. So I need the 3rd member too since I have the OR with the E-Locker.

Installed a full Icon 2.5" coilover setup with CDC RR's, add a leafs and rear 2.0" RR ,uca's etc. small setbacks and quick trips to track down missing parts.

Replaced the wheel studs on my truck and removed the 1.25" black spidertrax spacers.

 

Nice! Can't wait to get my lift. *drool

 

That was another members truck. Mine was just the lugs

 

Poll for a meet!

Next week, which night is better for everyone? Monday or Tuesday?

Let's go to Buffalo Wing Factory in the Fairfax/Fair Oaks area as it will not be a terrible drive for everyone and they have food specials both nights.

Let me know what night works better for you and Thursday I'll announce the date/time.

 

Did removing the rear spacers help out any with your MPG?

 

I was hoping you'd chime in. I hate planning things. hahaha

I'm down for either, but I think Tuesday would probably be easier on me. Mondays are always a shitshow around my office. lol

Send me a PM with what you are interested in. If you are in, post back up in here and make it known what you want. Please keep the pricing private. All the pricing will be the same, just not public. If we get a large enough party interested and committed, then there will be another break on pricing. Not HUGE, but still, every dollar counts.

If you are on the list and not interested - Let me know that also. I will remove you from it . Trying to keep this list realtime so please be conscience of that. My goal is mid to end of march to put the final order in. That is approximately 4-6weeks. Personally, I am ready with cash in hand for the things I want. However. I know that there are people that need a little time. For that, I know it sucks to miss out on a deal when we are just a couple days or dollars away. Trying to give everyone enough time to get their ducks in a row.

Lets focus on the ARB gear for now, and in a couple weeks, closer to time, I will ask everyone what gears they are interested in and move on from there .I need F&R 4.88 and that is a necessity for me.

 

Anyone here the owner of the white TRD Off Road with the cap, swingout rear bumper, and front plate bumper that I saw this afternoon at the Total Wine in McLean? I was the Pyrite Mica that was parked across the aisle from them and they followed me for a while down Old Dominion..

If it's anyone here, very nice truck! I didn't find what I was looking for in Total Wine and was going to wait for them to come out to talk to, but then my boss called and by the time I got off the phone they were already pulling out
