Northern Virginia Roll Call

not sure yet gonna get the wife drunk tonight and hopefully persuade her lmao

 

huh that's weird then I dunno.

 

good luck in pursuading her ..... but I'm not asking about your sex life, I'm asking about going off road!!! hahaha

 

My job is weird in that any day other than Friday that would be ok. But Fridays are the busiest days.

 

Smittys are great winches and are adequate for users like us who have it as a "just in case" and aren't out using it all the time running black rated trails.

In regards to the grease, the issue with it is that it becomes hard to free spool the winch when it's cold. It'll work just fine during the actual winching process.

With that being said, I own a smitty and took the time to regrease it. Only took a few hours and $5 worth of grease. Wasn't hard at all.

 

So many of you know I'm in highschool and have a Tacoma. i will be driving this tacoma or one similar to it across the country next year during my gap year. I have put a lot of thought into my build, I keeping coming back to the condition of my vehicle. I question whether it would make it across the US. It lived on a island of the coast of Massachusetts for the first three years of its life, exposing it to harsh sea salts expedaiting the rusting process and the life of the engine. The frame has a nice coat of rust all over and cracking in the welds. I get about 15 miles to the gallon on the highway and 11 in the city. At this point before I embark I'm seriously considering trading my it in for a 2015 trd pro. As always I'm asking for any thoughts on this.
PS I will post pictures of the frame and vehicle later on today.

 

Is this before or after you persuade her for boom boom

 

Trust me... You do NOT want to break down in the middle of nowhere. No cell service a lot of places, and 1 vehicle every 30 minutes coming by. If you are heading cross country, make sure your vehicle is ready.

 

Black it out

 

Thats me at 1/2 tank. 130 miles

 

my opinion is sell it and go for the 2015 or hell.... you can get a 2016+ TRD off road for about the same price (and you can use almost all of your parts / build stuff on a newer truck

shit... if I was supercharged, that would be a full tank for me, I'd always be skinny pedal down.

 

at 200 miles i was looking for a gas station...
If I babied it, i might have gotten close to 250 with the needle coming close to kissing the E line

 

If I get to 230 its a good day. I have 4.56 too

 

The other day i got 280 without my light going on, its never happened before but i was pumped. Maybe because i just used injector cleaner on my last tank?

 

No way...

 

Are we still on for tomorrow? And whats the head count? The tacos itchin to get off the blacktop.

 

yessir..... I know it's me, you, @quis23 , maybe @ready6delta ... maybe @buyobuyo ?

anyone else?

 

Paint? Wrap?

 

Pretty sure its a wrap!

 

@Darkgoatracer do you have a cb? I'm trying to see who all has CBs for tomorrow's trail run
