Northern Virginia Roll Call

werent you working on a washer fluid relocation earlier?

 

I mean yeah but that t4r basically has titanic sized space to work with compared to a cramped engine bay of a first gen.

A little different.

 

And that I have the tiny v6 in the engine bay made for the v8 helps a bit too

 

Painter and reinstalled. Put some weather stripping around the bracket to really hold it in.

Also have the rear pump plumbed to the front nozzles temporarily since I installed at midnight last night and couldn't get one of the clips for the front pump wiring unclipped in the dark. Now to test on a 220 miles drive

 

What flavored kool-aid yea got in there?

 

Dude this is excellent. Did you make sure to add a vent? I love everything about this project

 

Got the orange rainx stuff. I like it better than the blue, seems to bead up water better

Thanks! I did not add a vent, but the flip top doesn't have the best seal so I guess that vents a bit haha

 

Doing well man just been busy as shit over here and just got back from deployment to asia. Visited Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia and a few others. Covid still sucks but working through it. glad to be back and got some plans for upgrades on the truck and getting wife runner dialed in. How are things back on the east coast?

 

dang man hope you are ok looks like you guys have been having fun since i left.

 

We aim to please.

 

Yeah the orange stuff tastes better

 

Dave, so glad you are ok (hoping the other guy is, too)!

I guess this falls in line with, "Dave, doing Dave Things!"???

 

Thanks.

 

Snow predictions here getting weaker and weaker big sad

 

Its still coming down here

 

Earlier in the week they were calling for 12-16" in blacksburg. Now it's looking more like 5-6" actually on the ground. It was really powdery, but the powder was slippery so I whipped around. Later in the day it turned to almost ice pellets. Forgot to get pics of truck in the snow whoopsie

 

Ordered a kinetic rope on Thursday, it arrived yesterday (prime is pretty nice) and used it today!


Is there anyone on here that knows Jeep suspensions well and would wanna chat over a beer sometime? I think Tiffany and I are gonna get hers lifted and put on 38s.

 

Good stuff! I need to get a kinetic rope. I've had a flat strap for a while, and even when going slowly to get it to tension, it's like pulling teeth with a string to the door knob when you use it lol

 

The arb orange strap is the best bang for the buck, you’ll want the 17.5k one. It’s a kinetic strap and I’ve used the absolute piss out of it until I was gifted a bubba rope. Runs about $60 on Amazon.

 

I have this one. Only one pull, but it worked:https://ironman4x4america.com/kinetic-snatch-rope-20-940lbs-9500kg/

No experience, but I like this company: https://www.rhinousainc.com/products/kinetic-energy-recovery-rope

Have a bunch of their tie-downs and really like them.
