Thanks Ryan! I will definitely do that.

 

Returning from deployment soon. Looking to have Billy 5100s installed all around. Any recommendations on a shop to do the install?

 

Kaneohe Goodyear aligned my truck when I bought the Duratracs. But I have since "re-alligned" it a few times myself

Otherwise, I take it to the Kaneohe Lex Brodies. The assistant manager used to drive a lifted Frontier and he is an alignment expert! Pretty cool guy too. His name is Gerard, don't know if its with a J or G though.. They do AAA discount, and sometimes have coupons on their website. I think Goodyear does AAA too?

 

Its a pretty easy DIY if you're handy with a wrench. When you coming back?

 

I just got the study book and ordered a radio ...

 

Anything going on this weekend guys? Haven't had a meet up since peacock flats weekend

 

Thanks, Nate! Do Goodyear or Lex Brodie's give the printout sheet?

 

my truck is out of commish till wednesday waiting for my NEW EXTENDED SHOCKS CEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEe hee

cant frickin wait... oh and does anyone know how to fix the abs sensors on our truck... i might have accidently broke one when i was adjusting my axle when putting my rear end back together..... i gotta pay 200 bucks to replace it. over that shit right there

cant wait for the next meet tho

 

Fire stone has life time alignment even with aftermarket UCLA

 

What radio did u get? Kenwood, icom, yeasu?

 

Lex Brodie's does.

 

I passed the test at 13. Wasn't too bad

 

depends how it looks. Fixing wires is easy, if you broke the housing, that might be hard.

 

Any alignment shop should give you the printout with your receipt. If they don't, just ask for it

But yes, both Lex Brodies and Goodyear gave me alignment sheets every time.

 

yeah it looks intact but i dunno i gotta drive it. i checked it and it doesnt look bad.

The reviews say that it isn't a bad rig for $50 be something to start out with. Here on the island it shouldn't be that bad.

My friend at work did it at 15, I work on electronics so it shouldn't be to bad.

 

I was looking at one of those.. Where do you have to take the test?

Thanks! I'll read over the practice exam. But so far, I was way more comfortable going to the firearms safety classes

 

Be back in a few months. I've changed springs and added air bags before...never changed shocks. Could I do the Billy install without a garage lift and use just a jack and jackstands?
