Northern Virginia Roll Call

Man, my truck is having a good hair day today.

 

That mother fucker. I knew I shoulda scraped the stickers off in the parking lot. At the very least the one saying navy veteran and my IG handle.

 

Yeah, that's a bummer...

Someone stole your ditch lights? Dave, I hate to be the one to tell you, but...you don't have enough lights on that truck yet. Truck's looking great!

 

Yeah my roof rack stole them....I've got a couple of S2s that I'll put there. I just need the time. Hopefully I'll have the rack wired up tonight with some output pictures. 51,800 lumens sitting up there. and thank you

 

Hello NVRC- I am parting with my OEM Wheels and Tires. They are like new in mint condition. The post is in the 3rd Gen For Sale section: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...-wheels-tires-set-of-5-brand-new-1200.630639/. Appreciate any help in letting interested parties know... I need to raise some cash and liquidate a lot of stuff as a result of some extensive unforeseen issues. @ilubtimmyhos

 

Hope none of you Northern boys invested in the development of Front Royal!

Wow!

 

Having grown up there, that place has always been sketchy.

Hmm, I work right up the street and get off at 6. Probably about time I start showing up to stuff.

 

I know a bit about Rapidan WMA.

 

I am interested in exploring the trails in that area but I do not want to go alone. I did Blakey Ridge yesterday with an instructor and to get comfortable with off roading in that situation. There were several trails off the ridge that I would like to explore. My taco is well set up but my experience is very limited.

I have explored most of the paved county roads from the Potomac to south of Nelleysford and from 29 into WV. Now I am interested in exploring all the unpaved ones. I just need to go with someone with experience to gain that myself. The instructor said that BR was an easy drive with little challenge for taco. For me it was an experience. But the explorer in me, wants to keep going!

 

I would go to Rapidan with you some time. It’s super easy. Basically a gravel/dirt road. Not a “trail” at all. Some good fly fishing on there, too.

 

If Loco's new "truck" can handle it, I'm sure you'll do fine @Usroadscholar

 

I tried fly fishing the rapidan river earlier this year...without waders. Only made it like 1/4 way up haha

 

I use the Muzzy-MX4. It is a lot like the Slick Trick. Small but devistating.

$30 Muzzy 209-MX4, Bowhunting 100 Grain, .025" 4 Blade Broadhead, 1-1/8" Cutting Diameter, 3 Pack,red

Great...let me know when you might be available. It looks as if a couple of the roads join skyline drive. I also found a small church with picnic benches under a tree.

 

You must have only gone to the side with the cabins. Yeah you can drive a subie up that part. None of it is really rough but can get pretty tight unless they trimmed a lot back

 

Question for yea.. Have you checked in to where to get said bottle filled/refilled? I would do that first before purchasing one.

Reason I ask is, years ago I was looking do the same. Local places to fill the tank only did bottle swaps. 2 different places told me the same thing. Also said if I brought in my own bottle, It would be sent off to be checked, then filled if good. with about a week and a half turn around. Then being charged for a tank cert. and fill.. I finally said screw it.

If you are serious about.. check with ETA (https://www.etaoffroad.com/) down there and see if they know where to get them filled or have a lead on a place.

As far as tanks, what are you looking at? Just curious.

 

I was looking at powertank, because their regulators are simply the best. They have a kit where you buy the regulator/hose/handle etc. Everything but the tank, so that way you can do exchanges at the local shop instead of having to get a refill. This is the route I would go. The 20 lb tank from the local roberts oxygen (where I get my weld gas) is about $40 for a swap, and that would last me 8 wheeling trips. I think at most I'd have to swap twice a year.

 

I would like to come. I can't because I've loaned my truck out for those days but...

 

Kewel! Looks like you dun did your research. Right on.
