Northern Virginia Roll Call

Anyone looking to sell their roof rack for a double cab 3rd gen?

 

I did the u-joints on my truck. It's not hard with the right tools. Buy a ball/u-joint press. This is the one that I bought when I did mine.

I was trying to find you the aerosol version the other day but couldn't. That is a good product

 

Does anyone have any recommendations on a (fairly) inexpensive new exhaust? Say maybe 350 or 400 bucks max? Not too loud and obnoxious...

 

I think MBRP is pretty cheap, idk how it sounds though. They have a turn down version so you don’t have to cut it too

 

Yeah Ive heard. I want to find someone who has it and check it out before I buy it

 

Everyone has their own opinion, but I have yet to hear exhaust on this truck that sounds good. According to the copy on Underdog Racing's website theirs sounds glorious, but I have yet to find a sound clip. And it's expensive-ish. Be aware that MBRP is an economy brand and you get what you pay for. A lot of their systems are not stainless steel, so at some point rust may be an issue. I've also noticed that the sound of their stuff is pretty not good.

But like everything in this game, it's all subjective.

 

Thanks for the review. I will definitely keep that in mind. I just texted Randy because I think he at least had an MRBP exhaust.

 

It's very easy. Just rent a press from auto zone for free.99. This video has come great tips as well, such as hitting the u joint with a hammer to settle the u joints once you put them in.

As far as keeping it in balance, just mark everything with a paint pen to keep it all lined up.

Went out to the Shenandoah National park today for a nice 5 mile hike. It was beautiful weather for it. Second pic my wife caught me mid piss in the trail. No fucks given.

 

Fuckin A those pictures are huge.

 

Tony last for the whole thing?

 

What breed is the doggo? looks a whole lot like a Saluki I used to have

 

Greyhound. Best doggos ever!

 

He's a greyhound! Retired racer.

 

Yeah he was a champ. Wasn't until 4.5 miles in that he slowed down! He loved it.

 

That's impressive. My first one I had to carry home a few times. This one is a little better. Two miles is her limit.

 

Ah. Love the hounds, great dogs. Here was mine, a Saluki hound. Passed away couple years ago

 

Before we'd taken him on a more strenuous 4.5 mile hike with a lot more elevation change and he did great (with a nice break at the turnaround point) so we weren't too concerned about him. It's funny to me how he's content sleeping 19 hours a day, or going out on these hikes and crushing it. Such a good boy.

 

Wife and I have decided that we're good at picking the odd greyhounds. First one never roo'd or barked the whole time we had him. Wasn't keen on running either. Our current one is so loud and has energy! She doesn't chatter, but loves to run. Neither one could roach and didn't like coats.
