Northern VA meet & greet

[testraub]

Hey all you NoVa CTD owners (and others too)! Who's up for a meet and greet? I'm willing to host it here in Arlington at my house. We can use the driveway, street, lawn, whatever it takes. Bring your mods, special tools, whatever (oh and BWOB) Am willing to make the Wife slave over the grill for the cooking. Bring the Wife and kids too if you want. I'm thinking around Sep 10th. Burgers, Dogs, Slaw... Other goodies as the Wife feels fit (she had a small catering business). All are welcome, BUT... No speeding up and down the street :-laf

 

[Jengle]

I'll add this to the Northeast section as well, since a lot of those guys are closer to here than further north.

 

[TRCM]

What about southern VA ?? there's got to be some members down in the southeast part of VA... who & where are you !?!?!?!

 

[champspa]

I'm in Chester just south of Richmond

 

[testraub]

Hey Start your own thread! :-laf This here one is for my meet & greet in Northern VA Of course you guys South of me are welcome as well... . The more the merrier! Oo.

 

[TRCM]

Well, I didn't mean to steal your thread, but I didn't see anything else about VA. Figured I'd get some kind of response this way... and I did.

 

[CMNS PWR]

I'll be moving up to NOVA in January and looking forward to meeting other CTDs fighting traffic.

 

[VaCTD]

Sounds like a good idea, keep us posted.

Sorry I forgot to take the directions to the fall picnic at Kauffmans. I told myself 3 time to remember them but excitement of going and old age (44) happen.



Please let me know if you cummins so we can get you parked

 

[Jengle]

What's the starting time? I am going to try to make it up there, from Warrenton. Got directions already.

 

[testraub]

(Dang another thing Iforgot to put together... Time) Oh I don't know 10 AM-ish I guess Late lunch early dinner Feel free to bring Wife, Kids, etc.

 

[TRCM]

So how'd it go ??



I had wanted to go, but spent fri night replacing the lower control arms (royal PITA when the bolts are seized in the sleeves), and then saturday getting an alignment done, and new tires put on the front.

 

[testraub]

Went quite well had 6 trucks show and installed some gauges (EGT Boost and transmission Temp with everything hooked up but the transmission) I really hope everyone had a good time! 1st truck showed about 10:30-100 AM and the last left about 9:30-10 PM. Heck if the Wife approves I may make this a annual event Heck We coulda helped ya out Got AIR here and tools galor. Craven Tire in Merrifield is just down the road (if you got a LWB) Their Arlington store is only 2 miles away. (I know them well, borrowed a 5 ton floor jack for them when I put on my KORE front end) Heck you could have had all kinds of help



If your ever in the area give a call and stop by!



Heck if I'm down that way would be glad to meet up with ya! PM me a phone number or give me a call.

[Jengle]

Thanks for having us there, Tom. Always fun to hang out with people that understand trucks and good food.

No problem Glad you had a good time (except for the late gauge install (wonder who's fault that was)) But I hope all had a good time and even the Wife was up for making it a annual thing Oo. Next year we begin MODS EARLY :-laf BTW If this does become an annual event Maybe those planning surprises for Fall Brawl may want to come up and do the mods here I'll play the part of Sgt.
