Northern Virginia Roll Call

Haha I know what kind of number 2 you meant... but no not yet... just a yearly checkup to make sure she is in good health

Nice! Glad you found a winter setup!

I really like the tires so far... they are quiet and ride really well.

And I have the

$90 midland 75-822 40 channel cb-way radio

midland 75-822 dual use cb and love it... I've had it in all my vehicles since I got stranded on a mountain and I REALLY could have used it on me.

 

Nice man!!!! Where did you pick those up???

I got my grill trimmed for the winch control box.... it fits a lot better now

 

Picked them up from @kaceman, great price, looks like they're in good shape.

 

Anyone looking to get a custom black canvas soft topper with cab height bed rack? PM me if you are cus I'm looking to sell mine to you guys first.

 

Looks good. How are you holding your CB antenna forward?

Nice. I didn't have any issues last winter on the stock summer performance tires on my WRX, but a winter set isn't a bad idea.

How goes the car search?

 

The sales guy said they had a 2018 dark gray limited wrx coming in late oct. He said they could get all the options i wanted since it didnt have a vin assigned yet. I told them to go for it and put a hold on it. They are giving me invoice minus $200, and all accessories at invoice. Only problem is they are trying to screw me on trade in value. The negotiations are still ongoing on that front. Once i pick up the wheels ill source a set of blizzaks or similar. Last winter wasnt too bad, but if we get some good snows i want to stay mobile in it. I debated on all seasons, but figured a good set of summer tires, and a good set of winter tires, would be better

 

Also, i just filled up. Seems that the few hundred pounds i dropped have given me back about 1-1.5mpgs

 

Nice. What accessories are you getting? When the factory tires wear out, I'll probably replace them with performance all-seasons.

Sweet. I'm just glad gas prices are starting to come back down. I drove the WRX last week and paid $3+ per gallon. I just noticed today that it had dipped below $3 again and regular is under $2.40. I'm driving the truck this week. On Saturday, I'm changing the oil in it, and I bought another headlight restore kit to redo the passenger side. Hopefully, this restore will last longer than the last one, which didn't last 6 months.

 

@CaliDevilDoc?

 

Pics? Did you get it instead of your topper and decide against it?

 

It does! So that completes your lift right?

lol I took a 4" bungee cord and hooked it to the tip and then hooked it to a bed tie down...

It was only supposed to be temporary, but I went to the store with it on and it didn't move. So I am probably going to just leave it for now.

I measured my height (for parking garages) and I am 6' 4"

4" to spare for the parking garage at work

Also got Karen's table put together and got the garage cleaned and my tools put in the toolbox that I got from @fatfurious2

I'll see you tomorrow afternoon David! (I have the wheels in the truck ready to go!)

 

Still waiting for the UCAs, then i need to shop for either a new leaf pack or aal.

 

If it works, it works.

The L desk that we took apart when you moved?

Don't forget the box of lugnuts.

 

No, you should buy mine ! I'll include a helping hand and a cold six pack with purchase!

 

I can get some pics when I get home. I had it before I got the shell when I was in SC. It worked great for what I needed at the time. Its a great rack and the canvas is great and water proof plus has held its color since it is marine grade. I just need to replace the marine grade plastic windows front and rear or if someone has that ability it could be an easy fix for them. Now that I have the shell and I'm about to build a rack for it I really have no need for the bed rack and cover unfortunately. Plus it is taking up space in my garage. If there is no interest I will just build unistrut tracks on it and use it In the summer for my RTT instead of the cap so I have best of both worlds. I just think someone else could find it more useful if they are looking.

 

You're making me miss my old subby.
Best winter car I ever had!
The blizzaks are awesome with awd on snow.

 

ahh ok cool

ok cool!

and I took some better pics of the truck and I'm going to spam a couple here and put some in my build thread!

 

such a dope picture

 

Woo! Snow subie pics! Lets make @Me. Projekt regret his decision, and help @TacoCat get one!
