Calling all Virginians (Tidewater area)

It's what happened to us. Did the vaca thing last June... drove across, saw the sights, Grand Canyon, Sedona, a bunch of the National parks, Moab, and spent 4th of July in Denver. On the way home... we were joking about moving to AZ... in September decided if Al could find a job here we'd do it, and 3 weeks later we were moving!!!

Saturday a bunch of us are driving up as high as possible in 4 Peaks, then in the eve heading down to the wash area to camp. Here's a pic of the mountains taken from my back yard, and my camper in the driveway today.

 

jeezee.... john, I'm coming to visit next time I'm in the area! Gorgeous

 

You know you are always welcome, and we do have a spare room. Did I mention the backyard.... or the view out my front door (Sunset)?

 

i appreciate it! im pretty mechanically switched on, but drilling into my roof and never doing it before obviously makes me a little nervous ( as most im sure) maybe a makers mark before i drill would help. if you have any ideas, or know who has mounted one before ( and did it the first try successfully ) please let me know.

 

Thanks for the heads up. I know there isn't much around Va. I'm use to Colorado mountains now and not many things come close. Ouray is amazing and so is Moab, UT.

I figure since I'll be back for a couple months I'll visit good old Harrisonburg again. That's where it all started with my Tacoma, you, and my little lab (who is almost 3 now). Glad to see you made the switch to a 4WD Tacoma. Looks good!

 

oh dude, i didn't even realize it was you! I'll shoot you a text!

 

Post link to the mounts

And that ^^^^^

We haven't had a TW mod day in forever... Might be time.
Bunch of newer guys and the old guys haven't gathered up in a long while.

 

We gotta wait till Slimwood gets back or there will be nobody to supervise.....

 

I proposed one a few pages back at my place this weekend at my place Still open; Ill be continuing my timing belt change.

 

Make sure you have a cozy chair for him!

It really seems things have quieted down for you Tidewater folks!

 

You left a void that can't be filled. Seriously though, you're missed out here John.

If you want some help this weekend, give me a PM for my address. I just picked up a big pack of Delphi all weather connectors. Bring your own wire; I have a soldering gun, heatshrink, etc... to get you all wired up.

I can help you measure the holes, I got a drill and some bits but you're going to have to do the drilling

 

I hate you all....smh

the light bar i have had, sold my tundra and pulled it off, then just bought new mounts

 

Ditto Sir, it's very active out here, and I'm out in the wilderness every week... but generally by myself. Our group back home is very missed! I made better friends there at Mod Days than I did in years of service or growing up. Someday........

You love us, you want to hang with us, you want to hug us!!!!!

Here's a great way to mount a 50! https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/location-location-location.411101/

 

Anybody wanna be a bro and call and see how much they are selling my old 4Runner for? Just curious. Traded her in yesterday. Got $26,000 for it

29999$ is what samantha the sales chic said

 

Thanks!! I got $26,000 trade in value.

 

So it uses four holes that are already there and have rivnuts for use with the factory roof rack. Only have to drill a couple more holes (recommended for offroad).
Does it come with more rivnuts or just bolt thru?

 

ill have to check when i get home, i havnt even opened the box. i have a habit of loosing shit if i open it before i ready to build it.
