Northern Virginia Roll Call

Roof top tent is next. Ill have duals

 

Didn't you reference this for project in case he wanted a cap???

 

I need help wiring my third brake light

 

Yes. But apparently he cant drive more than 3 hours

 

ok then...

 

mine will likely be taking that ARE cover off and putting the Bestop on... after that, my stuff will go quick once @TacoCat and I start swapping parts (bumper, winch, lift, sliders, intake, skid)

and wheels and tires are sitting in my garage waiting for lift to go on....

you have enough to focus on

then when you get back, we'll get to finish wiring everything on the truck.... Karen said we need to do a big ass cookout once we get to the new house

I need to finish up ordering the stuff for my cb.... I have the expensive part... the bed stiffeners and the cb... now I just need to order a spring, antenna, and cable

I ALSO need to order my CMC plates... where did you order yours from? It seems like everyone makes CMC plates....

bedside decals?

are you really going to put both of them on??? hahaha dooo ittttttttt

I'll help.

I haz sensitive butt.

 

Shit I have a ton of little things I need to get done.

 

So now that I have a topper and will soon have an RTT, do I need to be doing these bed stiffeners? Are they really that prone to failure?

 

Probably. Mine were separating before i had any of that stuff in my bed.

 

Decals might be apart of it...I got to test and measure before making that decision. No, I mean I am getting fiberglass bedsides for my rear end.

 

my bedsides were separating with just my old leer topper.

 

Its worth the investment for safety reasons if nothing else. Wheeling alone can cause unpredictable flex in the body with the amount of weight and forces from an elevated RTT. I don't expect someone to split in half, but unwanted stress cracks could occur given enough fatigue. This is not intended at you Jschona.

 

no worries, I got the bedside reinforcements and got rid of the cap. it wasn't to just stop the separation, but I also wanted more anchor points when I travel with stuff.

 

Until I got an RTT, more anchor points was the appeal to me as well. With the route I am going, the more reinforcement the better at this point.

 

like what?

from my reading, yes. haha

shoot @At The Helm a PM and he'll hook you up.... $115 shipped and you get a CB antenna mount and extra mounting tabs out of it haha

I'm always ready for not being at work.

Me too. Even if it's just sitting on my ass relaxing at the house.

Need to finish my throttle body cleaning this week once I get a gasket that fits and replace my spark plugs. I called yesterday and my Demello bumper should be going out this week, so hopefully next weekend it will go on. I'm also in on the Baja Kits +2 LT gb, so I'm just waiting for word that it's ready to ship to pay the balance. Not sure if I am going to install it right away or wait until I order the rear, so I don't have to do multiple alignments.

 

I'll probably get these plates:

Surprised you are painting the drums...I assume red?

 

I wouldn't think that getting an alignment for the rear would matter that much unless its some crazy set up. I didn't get an alignment after I got my rear installed which was put on about 4 months before my LT set up.
