Northern Virginia Roll Call

yea. Ill be awake. or if you wanted to come before then. I just threw that time out there.. I will probably wake up around 7

 

8 works for me!

 

So what do I need for this platform? Just the boards that run across the bed to support the platform? I am going to try to buy the boards either tonight or tomorrow so that it's all ready to go Saturday morning.

 

Yep, just to boards that fit in the notch. Some people use a 2x6 or 2x8 but I used two 2x4s side by side and they fit in there nicely. The 2x8 you have to notch a little to get it to fit and the 2x6 is a little loose in there. I also had a couple vertical supports because it would sag a little bit in the very middle

 

Do you remember how long they were? I mean, I guess I could measure when I get out of work...don't worry about it if you don't remember off the top of your head.

 

I don't remember, sorry. I want to say it was longer than 4' though, so you'll need 4 2x4s.

 

I can help if needed. How does your parking look at 8 on a saturday? Any parking around the side?

I could do that, but I would need to borrow your jack and stands. My icons will be only a few minutes to take off. @Lots2Learn58 and I already had them off before you realized you couldn't get your rears off, so the bolts will be easy to break free. Plus @buyobuyo just zip tied my resis to the frame, so literally snip snip and those are off and ready to mount up. Might as well just wait till the 24th. I'll have to wait to pull the breather, since the union on the top of the diff will have to come out. I don't want it completely vulnerable to water if we get any heavy rains and anything splashes it could make its way in. I don't quite remember what I needed to do for the locker anytime mod, but if its easy enough to swap over, we can look at that as well if you want. You got the OR package, right?
Edit: I also need the back half of your skid plate. The off roads have two, and I would like to put the back part on to help protect the fumoto valve.

I did offer it though. Breather/union/fuel line is cheap, but if this is getting traded in, might as well swap over. Unless something on his breaks, then I'm keeping mine.

 

I can park one of my bikes in a spot to reserve it for you

 

Unless anything else comes up between now and then, I'll roll up and lend a hand. You'll hear me way before you see me, with my tires rubbing all over the place.

 

Does anyone have a prinsu roof rack? I'm interested in seeing what additions you have made. Still trying to figure out how to mount my Plano box.

 

we can just wait... I'll pull the other skid plate off this weekend as well... and yep, I have the OR package

 

@fatfurious2 has done a lot w/ his prinsu

 

I think John mentioned that one of the rear bolts was seized up in there, so might want to blast it a couple times and let it soak in as well as it can, being upside down. Either way it'll have to come off to get the ATO skid mounted.

 

I have a Prinsu. Just mounted one Plano box. Nothing else..

 

yep.. I'll hit it some more w/ some PB Blaster and see if I can get it off....if not, I can break it, and extract the bolt.

 

you skipped the off road guys..
