Northern Virginia Roll Call

@EatSleepTacos or anyone offhand know the rear brakeline bracket bolt specs?

Gotta do an extension for the time being...forgot to bring the extended brake lines to my in-laws. Truck is at the alignment shop so I can likely find a fix in my FiL garage metric bolt shelves tomorrow.
Figured my neighbor has the 10mm flare but wrench&all the accessories and obd software abilities for brake line work, just might take a week to get with him (been working in NC recently).

 

Were you wearing Larry Bird's basketball shorts?

 

It's true to the period!!

 

Dude that was like 1990 or something you remember those days or at least some of them

 

We wore some crazy ish back then...what was wrong with us? Lol

 

I was on my way in my truck to play golf today. I was on I-66west just before it hits I-81, when I see a quicksand 3rd gen in my rearview gaining on me. I thought, 'Here comes Nick & Dalia on their way to fpk'. As it comes closer, I see the cvt tent on back but no demello front bumper. It pulls right beside me, the guy & his girl both wave at me. I wave back and I swear it even looked like you & Dalia. Then as it passes me I see it has an "ALASKA" license plate. The bed was packed pretty full with gear under the tent too. I thought, 'well that DEFINITELY wasn't Nick'. It also had a black silhouette mountain range decal across the tailgate too. Nice looking rig too!

That is some helluva cross-country road trip they are taking. I looked all in the Alaska region threads, but no mention of anyone taking a cross-country trip

 

We were on Union Springs, the hard route. After the post about it last week, and the water and ruts, I'll probably wait for the lift before I try it again. If Dunkle hollow is easier, I might be interested in that. And Adam said there is some good camping sites along Switzer Lake.

 

Possible Military in the vicinity of a New duty station.

Just a thought, though.

 

Any news on the 4x4 conversion? What tent is going on the rack? If its a wedge your gonna love the setup time. I did mine last time with a drink in my left hand in under a minute

You may be able to get away with just bending the bracket unless it different on turd gens

 

The 4x4 swap will get done Aug 15th. As far as the tent, I got a roofnest sparrow xl that will come in a few weeks. Not a wedge, but one that opens straight up. Going to be a nice upgrade!

 

I almost bought the roofnest wedge but didn't like how you couldn't store anything in it. I can get a large bag and pillows in the one I have now. Im wondering if I can get it wrapped. My only complaint is the color is fading.

 

Yea the sparrow can store all kinds of things. And is set up for a solar panel on top as well. I upgraded to a 160w panel for this build

 

Now if he added tube socks to the outfit with white Nike with the blue swish shoes would have been perfect!

 

Stop describing my dad until about 8 years ago...sans white calf tube socks!! He will never abandon the tube socks

And coming from a Celtics family, using Big Larry as a fashion statement is high praise!

 

i dont think i wore socks back then

 

I have a very limited memories from about 1984 to about 1996/7 as most of those yrs I spent in the Florida Keys fishing and working in the Family charter business.....

 

Is it acceptable to drop links to the T4R forum on here? I’m wanting to buy something and have it listed under the WTB/WTS section over there but also wanted to add it on here in case anyone might know someone regarding this

 

Cant see why not...
