Calling all Virginians (Tidewater area)

I might be able to host a mod day at my place Aug/Sep....

 

I will do what I can, but with the baby due in early Sept, I am going to be absent for a lot...

 

Staying stock for quite awhile. I'm getting out of the Navy in 2 months so I took a loan out on the truck. I figure it's smarter to take the loan and keep my savings well stocked rather than paying cash, not having a loan but also setting myself up for failure financially in case I don't find a job soon enough. So I'm pretty much just leaving it stock until I'm established again. I have my eyes out for a leveling kit, but that's probably going to be it for a little bit.

 

3rd gen checking in from Landstown Commons area. New to Toyotas, new to TW, and new to IFS in general haha

 

Hello neighbor, I live off Holland near Christopher Farms if you ever need a hand.

 

Here's what happened to mod days:
- Only a few of us hosted them (You, StanDrew, Loco and myself)...
- You moved away, Loco and I got burnt out on it and StanDrew still tries.

Yes, there was a small "clique" formed of the more experienced wheelers and wrenchers, who have all become great friends and we trust each other to work on our trucks.

This is also the reason this forum died - the core members moved to other comms.

Big reasons why I quit hosting mod days: No offense to others here and the new guys who are clue free about wrenching and mods. I'm sure most old timers noticed myself and others never worked on our trucks during mod days -- because I don't trust everyone else's quality of work. Also, I enjoy helping others and teaching but in that effort I often found myself doing a majority of the work - my fault for not stepping back and taking a chair.

 

Should have taken my lead. That is why I stopped doing them. I love my chair...and beer. Did I mention I love and miss beer?

 

I tried... I really did. I've gotten better since your chair has been empty.

 

I have a drinking problem

 

I went to a few to learn and help. Never modded by previous truck since it was a PreRunner.

 

Thank you! Very excited about the new truck and excited to expand my wheelin and wrenching knowledge. Already know a good bit, but you never stop learning

 

Yeah if I can host one I will not be doing shit to the burrito. I had to take a break from hosting for a while. The last one was fucking shit show.

 

@ponethousand need to bring jojo wheering next time

 

Was that the one I went to? Hope I didn't contribute to the shit show

 

Hey there. Just picked up my 3rd gen this week and parked it in Chesapeake. Looking to put a lift on it here in a month or so. I see lots of Icon and OME enthusiasts on here. Any advice?

 

You probably were the shit show...

 

Buy one, cry once. A lot of us started with OME/5100 style lifts, and all migrated to Coilovers. So make sure you buy nice shit the first time or you will be buying twice like a lot of us did...

 

If so you were the ring leader! sitting back and making fun of me while Brent and I installed those leafs

 

As I read @Scalded_Dawg s comments, I was thinking.... gotta do the Slimwood routine and chill. Just supervise and direct from the chair.

Yeah, I wouldn't mod a prerunner either!

... I was gonna say the same thing!!!! LOL!!!!

I miss all of ya!!!!

 

I especially miss when the rounds were on the house John
