Pearland "Mini" Wrench Meet

Meet was great, awesome weather. Got my lift and blackwatertacos lift installed. Thanks for the folks that came out and special thanks to anathollo for assisting and doing quality control.

I have somebody's leather craftsman gloves that were left behind.

 

Thanks Lyndall for hosting the meet, Sorry about the drive way...LOL

Michael, Thanks bud for all your help. aswell as everybody else.

 

^^^ your welcome Jay! I hope your truck rides great!

 

Looks like a fun time, sorry to have missed out. Had a nano wrench meet with just me & teh Taco Saturday while dudes were finishing up putting a new tub in one of my bathrooms-had a recall on one of them due to manufacturer defect. Free of charge but still sucks cuttin up a one yr old bathroom. N E wayz.......a coupla pics of my wrenchin, all went well and painless, alignment is good, caster is back FTW!...........





*** sidenote *** got 2 of the long UCA bolts that are spares now since it was so easy to get them out without using the Dremel to cut them. Didn't even need to put them in backwards. Lemme know if anyone in Houston area needs them if doing their UCAs................

 

Had a great time! Nice to get to meet some of the TW peeps.

 

It's alot smoother ride.

 

Remember to hit all those bumps and small ones. Oh i put my led tails for sale one the forum if anyone is interested.

 

Alignment done this morning. Haven't hit the bumps yet, but I like the ride. Just need to get some 5100 for the rear now...

 

What lift setting did you do? Do you have oem UCAs? What settings did you end up with on the alignment?

 

He is @1.75" with stock UCA.

 

^^ My spokesman beat me to it.

Yep, 1.75" up front, 1.5" AAl in rear.

Camber is 0, toe is .14 and caster is at -.7. For some reason the guy at NTB said -.7 caster is what I need, though my research shows it should be between 2.4 and 3.1. Why would he say -.7 is good? I'm thinking I need to get him to correct it...

 

LOL sorry.

 

Just had mine doen there too and the range on caster I got (this time and one of the other times) was 3.1 - 4.6. That was 05 prerunner-modified settings & access cab 4 cyl manual tranny last time. I did UCAs since 5100s set at 2.5 but I would expect a better caster setting than that going 1.75..........

 

Any interest in doing this again mid or late April?

I'll have rear 5100s and a 1/4" spacer for the driver's side to install. Still need to do the diff breather mod and will probably have some Sockmonkey bedside decals to throw on.

I could do it all myself, but I'll feel lonely....

 

I'd be up for it...I need to get my AAl, and a my sockmonkey decals to. and possibly my skid plate.

Sorry about not PMing you, I lost my paperwork...

 

Sorry I couldn't make it, ended up having a manditory meeting at my 2nd job at 7pm. It sucked 'cuase I got home at 4:30pm and had to turn around and leave at 6:15pm to be at the meeting by 7pm. If the next meet is on Sunday, I get off work around 2:30 - 3:00pm and I'd like to be at the next one.

 

Late April would be more doable. Got lots going on first and mid part of April. Got D-rings that need doing.......

 

It would be on a Sunday, I work Saturdays.

 

I'm down for whenever. Just so long as it's not the same weekend as the shilo ridge meetup. Just let me know when Lyndall, you're not that far away either...

 

Changed my mind...
