Northern Virginia Roll Call

@fatfurious2 you shoulda got this plate

 

Who in here has the firestone ride rite air bags they want to sell me?

Might go back to this one

 

that might be the best plate I've seen on a rig ever.

 

https://youtu.be/bbsTJgb6S_c watch this before you decide to cut your UCA bolt. I cut mine and its still isn't easy maneuvering around those lines on the drivers side.

If you decide to cut PM gunny1005 on here for the bolts. He is TWs personal camelback rep and the best prices on dealer parts I have seen.

The all pro Ubolt flip is beefy!! I have it and timbren bumps. I wouldn't recommend the timbren bumps. They reduce travel too much and I am looking for another solution for them already.

 

I just sold my cap. The Bestop will go on once I get new weatherstrip for the side rails. I ordered the weatherstrip today.

 

any 12-15 guys looking for retros???

emailed this guy about his cap:

https://york.craigslist.org/ptd/d/used-leer-fiberglass-truck/6407181170.html

gonna see if he'll take $500 for it.... then I'll just have to save up to get it painted

 

I would go to the dealer and get spray pain matched and do it yourself. That what the guys that bought mine did. looks really good

 

Those icons are pretty rusty. I’d guess they would need to be rebuilt. anyone ever have their coilovers rebuilt?

 

I bought spray cans from automotive touchup, i think it was called. They also have spray cans of clearcoat.

 

Just little update I leave for Guatemala tomorrow. My tent as been delivered and I will probable have it mounted on the 3rd. Hopefully enough time for couple test runs this winter. Also going to Maryland to get my sliders and skids if anyone would like to join on the 17th of jan.

 

You know I can hook you up with a paint job on the cap

 

I've looked into the Duplicolor cans.... they matched my Ford pretty much dead on... I could always look into doing that on a large scale for the cap, but that seems like it would take SOOO many cans / and sooooo much time

it's not too expensive from what I understand... $100-$200?

where'd you get the cans / how many cans did it take?

that'd be awesome man! I'll see what this guy says about taking $500 for the cap... I dont want to spend too much more than that..

 

All I ever painted was small stuff so I never used much. automotivetouchup.com is the site I used.

 

Hmm I might have to look into this

 

Yea offer him $400 and tell him it’s gonna need a rebuild and even if it’s $200, you’re all in at $600


Side note: is anyone planning on making a run up near York Pennsylvania this weekend or next?? (about 2 hours from us) I have family in this weekend and can’t get away...

I’m trying to pick this cap up! Haha

 

Haha let’s see how this goes

 

Search on YouTube. Rebuilding coilovers doesn't look difficult. Hell... When I called King Suspension and asked about changing valving, they told me to just order the valving I needed and lookup videos on YouTube because it's a simple process. Rebuilding and revalving would be the same process. You'll just replace more parts with the rebuild.
