Northern Virginia Roll Call

yep. I have no desire to use my life insurance policy anytime soon.

ditto. I wake up at 5am every single day, so "sleeping in" is MAX 6:30 haha

I went with the Engo 10k since I've failed a Smittybilt, and a few others.... never seen an Engo fail and then fourwheeler.com did a multi winch shootout and Engo crushed it and hung in with Warn and all that. (it's a great read if you care to check it out)

http://www.fourwheeler.com/how-to/129-1107-massive-multi-winch-shootout/

and if you choose to go Engo, I got mine shipped to my door for $335 (steel cable) I can get you in touch with the company that hooked me up if you decide to go that direction.

 

I'm looking at engo winches because they are around my price range and I've heard good things.
I have no name brand lights that I just took apart and sealed with silicon to prevent condensation from getting in. They have great output and the price is right so I can't complain!

 

oh yea, its definitely low key. No burnouts etc, because it will get shut down fast. There are already a ton of cops back there. Trying to catch those Lambo guys That first picture I posted, was 3 Lambos.. 001, 002, 003 on the plates. The guy had his whole family drive and park together

 

Damn it I have a '15.

Cooper ST maxx, duratracs, or grabber at2. Ko2S are for looks

My wife is looking at new cars as well, trying everything I can to push he to the T4R, then maybe swap out transfer cases so I can have a stick and she gets the button

 

Why won't it fit on a 12-15 @fatfurious2 ? Just because the grill is different?

 

I lost the battle - My wife ended up wanting a Highlander....which is sweet still.

So which tire do you have.

 

yea, the grill, and the pieces under the headlights. I was just reading a thread about fitting an 05-11 ARB on a 12+. If you put a 12+ on a 12+, you have to cut half of the stock bumper, and reattach, or else there will be a giant gap. Ill go look for the thread.

 

I see a truck in the back of that pic

 

no offense to Tacomaworld, but that truck is 1000x cooler than a taco. Wouldnt DD it, but Id own one. Id also own a rat rod, and a Ferrari. Dont trust my judgement

 

good choice!

it's funny that we are talking winches and lights at the same time... since I view them very similarly in my mind... "I dont use them often, so I cant justify $600-$1,000 for them" haha

but I have personally had a smittybilt, warn, and harbor freight winch and have been "meh" with all of them... the warn performed the best, but it would overheat a lot.

I put probably 40+ hours of research into what winch to buy on good price to quality ratio and have nothing but good things to say about Engo at least for the install.... the Engo is already prewired and all you have to do is connect power and ground and youre done.... I had to make all the connections and all that on the Warn, and Smittybilt winches so it made the install 45 minutes longer haha

 

The general grabbers have the styling of the ko2 w/o the bro factor, and they handle snow a little better.

But if a bunch of us went and started our own corner trucks would be cool!
I'd love to have an old truck,like that one though.

 

but those red letters bro factor added right back in haha

but yea, as far as lighting, I am thinking Cali Raised ditch lights and fogs, and an SDHQ 30" behind the grill bracket w/ an Auxbeam light bar

 

Nothing wrong with that!

 

lifts and lunch?
fourwheelers and fries?
brunch and bros?

 

I also like impracticality/crazy/omg why would you buy or drive that/weird things haha

 

it would have to be either a big ass V8 or a smoky diesel....

 

I have the general grabber at2 which I love, had them in snow, mud, sand, gravel and everything between.
I have a second set of Goodyear MTRs for serious slop.
I ran Goodyear wrangler ATs MOST of last year and wasn't as impressed, they were just ok at everything, even on pavement.

 

I need a bike again
