Northern Virginia Mod / Meet Day

Well, I think I'd just say that everyone should bring whatever tools they have (that pertain to mods lol), just to be safe. Might as well bring whatever you can fit in your truck.

By the way, Luke, are there any trails or any wheeling spots around your house/area? I've never wheeled with other people so I'm itching to do that with other TW guys...

Just PM'd Demello about the bumper timeframe, and it will be super close if I have my bumper and lights before the meet

Matt

 

I never mounted my highlift on my hood.. That's for show not for use.. I'm thinking of welding a couple bolts to the front angle of my bumper and sliding the highlift onto those, and making some sort of locking system for it. Putting the highlift in the bed is a no go for me, I have a big cap that we camp in... And I dunno about you, but snuggling with a high lift just doesn't sound like fun to me

I don't want it up on the roof rack either, too much chance to drop it and hit glass..

*ponders*

 

You dont want the wife asking "Honey is that the hi lift or are you just happy to see me..." ?

 

You wont have it yet?
Bummer.

 

Hey Matt did you get your 885s on yet?

 

Nope, getting lift installed on Wednesday...Originally had it scheduled for Thursday (two days ago), but I forgot to order the trim packer for the driver's side, so I moved it to Friday. Even though I picked two day shipping (and paid $20 damn dollars for it), they had an estimated delivery of Friday evening, so I had to re-re-schedule to this Wednesday.



On another note, I'm praying to the gods I don't believe in that Demello will ship my bumper in time for the meet...

Matt

 

where you getting your lift put on at? Im getting mine done wed. too

 

Trick Trucks in Chantily...They put on my leveling kit so I'm going to keep giving them business. The only other one around here that I've even heard of is High Tech Auto, who has evolved from just doing trucks/Jeeps to high end cars and now charge way over the top.

Matt

 

Hopefully you get the bumper in time. I want to see a three hoop in person. I just got done installing my acro lights. Iy was a PITA, but if you mount the lights before installing the bumper itll be a piece of cake. Or in this case, a piece of pizza...
I cant really tell how bright theyll be but i think theyll do just fine. And they do get pretty warm.

 

cool....friend of mine that i rode w/ back in the day used to work at trick trucks....Im actually goin to Hi Tech Wed. for install....I got quoted a good price that was little less than trick and the guy feels pretty confident he can get the castor into spec w/o UCA's but of course no guarentee's....also they warranty the work and guy was familiar w/ the lift i ordered....even asked me if i got the 1/4" spacer for the lean....

 

Hey guys, sorry for the late follow up. Joneill03 PMd me a while ago.

I'm good for the 13th until about 3 or 4pm. I've got tools, jacks, impact gun, and stands that I can bring. I've got a set of Toytec AAL that need to go in. One of them snapped off in front of the axle and Toytec replaced them under warranty.

 

And you want to swap your s/c to my truck too, right?

 

No, it's going into mine.

Matt

 

Maybe you could steal his scooped hood without him noticing lol

 

I think I'll get one of the ghetto-ass chrome stick on's and he won't even see it. They look pretty much OEM, right?

Matt

 

I'm probably not gonna be there till later then 1200. The wife wants to get a hotel room for after the big party on Saturday night... Who am I to deny her especially when she offered to pay for it!

So, we'll be partying till god knows when on Saturday, getting up and grabbing breakfast, then heading down... From BALTIMORE, it's gonna be a long drive.

 

I may or may not be there. Bumper and all the goodies are getting delivered Wednesday and I need to paint it all before Sunday.

 

By the way, Luke, are there any trails or any wheeling spots around your house/area? I've never wheeled with other people so I'm itching to do that with other TW guys...


Not that I know of yet. Hopefully I'll come across some soon.

 

There are some off of 234 heading out of Manassas over beside Greenfront Furniture but there is a big NO TRESPASSING sign at the trail head. I have never seen anyone over there......might be worth the risk

 

Tread lightly... And pay attention to trespass signs... Don't perpetuate the rednecks with trucks stereotype!
