Official Tundras.com Virginia Meetup 9-22-2018

This all sounds good @driverdog . I've got the tables covered for I have many in the storage room in that office building. I also have some bag chairs as well. It may be a good idea if @kwinfield94 could edit post #1 and create/maintain a list of confirmed attendees and what each is bringing. This would make it easily accessable in post 1 for everyone to reference. Just an idea.

 

Yeah I can do that

 

I dropped it off to get tinted this evening but I can get the photos tomorrow. If someone with a Tundra wants to volunteer I will gladly step to the side since it is a Tundra meet.

 

I updated the original posting to include the event time and location, and a list of who all is coming and who is bringing what. Please let me know if you are able to make it out and ill update the post

 

I’ll be there... my tundra is a welding rig and I don’t mind doing any small projects that people might want to bring... not really lookin to weld on sliders or anything big but I can be talked into almost anything.. haha

 

Man. Really wish I could make it to this. We decided to stay in NNY or otherwise I’d be there. Seems like an awesome meet-up.

Brewery suggestions:
Hardywood: largest space depending on the size of your event. Some of RVA’s mellower offerings in beer styles. (Think Va’s version of Sam adams vs a Trillium, etc). Good beers though and one of my favorite stouts. (Gingerbread at Christmas time).

The Veil: if y’all are into the NE hazy IPAs/ imperial & double IPAs. Also great sours too. Definitely for juice wolves. Not as large as hardywood but definitely worth a visit.

lickinghole creek: out in Goochland. Great beers of the farmhouse / Belgian variety and some insane stouts. Literally on a farm. Gravel roads, etc. great vibe and atmosphere.

Strangeways. Smaller spot in a strip mall. More eclectic offerings. Good spot if your palate is looking for something different. Some classic Belgian / farmhouse styles too.

Legend Brewing: The Godfather. The one that started the craft beer scene in RVA and absolutely inspired the above mentioned spots. Probably not the place to to bring 30+ tundras as parking is limited but a cool spot on the south side of the james river. Great views of the city.

Mekong: not a brewery per se, but consistently named top beer bar in America for like the last 5-10 years. An Bui the owner knows his stuff and just has some insane beers and tons of them. Great Vietnamese cuisine too. Bui also helped to start lickinghole creek, the veil, and has his own brewery / brew pub called “the Answer”.

Hope this helps y’all out!

 

I’ll be there. I’m cleaning out the garage and have some TRD Pro parts for sale if anyone is interested with about 39k of use (just found out I can’t post in the marketplace yet). TRD Pro headlights, suspension (shocks and factory leaf springs), and wheels / lugs (sale pending). Taking reasonable offers.

 

Is this open to all or only VA residents?

If it helps in allowing me to come, I used to live in VA, my wife is from VA and we still have family there.

 

Great idea @driverdog . I should be good unless work schd gets me. Will hopefully see @Noodle this wknd. Looks like a great plan. I like the detail clinic , great idea.

 

I volunteer to be the long distance detail truck.

 

All are welcome. I have a guy I work with that doesn't have a Tundra, but an '18 Willy Jeep and he wants to come hang out with us.

 

All are welcome just let me know if you are coming so I can update our total so we can see what numbers are looking like

@PermaFrostTRD I contacted Hardywood to see what their location is like and to see if we can get a reservation for large party

 

I reached out to a buddy in VA who said he would let me borrow his charcoal pig cooker trailer. We could grill up some burgers and .

 

Count me in.

 

If youd like to bring this. That would be awesome, I was planning on bringing my grill but if youd want to bring that, it'd save my back from loading a grill into the back of my truck

 

Just admit it, you're coming

 

@rons23 you're coming then right?

 

Yes unless work hems me up. I should be good. Looking forward to it. Heartywood is a great choice on that

 

Well Alabama Slammer, you better be ready to giddy up.

 

Well to those who are going to need a hotel, would you rather book a night on your own, or would you like me to get a blocked reservation at a hotel, I only ask because I know some people prefer different places. If it was a block room, id look around a best western quality for probably 100ish a night

 

There is a Hampton Inn and a Holiday Inn Express just down the road from the meet location (1 mile). Also easy access to Walmart, Cracker Barrel, Waffle House .IHOP and Best Buy.

 

Sounds good. Ill give them a call this coming week to set up something

 

I plan on being there. I will try and bring a canopy. I will be staying the night so if you can let me know what hotel you get a deal at I would appreciate it

 

The 22nd is a day I can do unless I get jammed up at work I will be there.

 

I definitely concur on @Jim detailing knowledge. I have learned a ton

 

@driverdog I will be coming from Pittsburgh. I am lucky, I can stay with family Friday night then drive out Saturday morning from just north of Charlottesville.

On my way out I should be picking this up from my buddy in Louisa.
* Disclaimer- Meat not included, I'll be bringing the trailer grill only.*

 

Did you stay at Holiday Inn Express Last Night????

 

Man if I was coming I could operate that smoker for you and fire down on an assortment of meats that would make your taste buds tingle. I may not be able to detail but I can operate a grill and smoker.

 

If you’re anything like me, y’all may want to look at hotels closer to the Brewery vs the meet-up/ detail clinic. Probably looking at a 20 min ride / Uber between the 2 spots (Hardywood Brewing).

Prost!

 

I'm with you. Stay close to the brewery. Which Hardywood? There are 3 now I think.
