DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

We should do that ECGS at some point, maybe after the hurricane.

 

Def. I'm ready whenever anybody wants to do it. I can't host but I do have a set of install/removal tools. I think @Suprajim54 has a set also. If we do it together we can knock two out at a time. More time for BS and beer....im sure @Silverspool will show up then.

 

im all about that beer. The amount of liquor I consume the night before will have a direct effect on how much help I will be.

Ill have UCAs and coilovers to install soon too.

 

Why did this make me think of you, @Silverspool??

That would be the one

 

if you want, we have two sets of install/removal tools. I'm sure you could borrow a set or jsut do yours when we all install ours. Taht would save you from having to buy another set. Save a few bucks.

 

I was just going to pay someone to do this. Watching you do your own was scary

Edit: It just looked beyond my confidence level.

 

How many miles on your guys trucks when you noticed this start to be a problem?

 

I have a feeling you think of me more than whats sociably accecptable

 

I'll be ready soon too. I am planning to install some Toytec spacers to cheat a little and get some front lift back. Going to move the 1/4" lean spacer to passenger side and put the 1/2" one on driver side. Might get me back close to the height before bumper, skid and sliders. That should tide me over for a couple months until I can get the Kings. Doing the bushing at the same time would work out well for me. Vibration went away, but may come back after the spacers are added. I have the tools, just not the space for multiple trucks.

 

I have never had a chance to do this stuff either. But the guys here know their stuff and now I feel confident in most mods myself. I just lack the tools. I say do it yourself. You'll learn something and make some friends....plus there is always beer.

 

I will have some spacers for sale when I get my truck back. Had 885 w/spacer, now 886 w/out

 

okay so now we need the space...

Tacos and mod day by the lake? haha wonder how fast that would get shut down

 

BTW are you still going to BMRA this weekend or might you come out next weekend with the group?

 

BMRA this weekend??

 

@dwaltdtx mentioned he was maybe going to go this weekend as opposed to next for the big 4WP event with the rest of us. I was just trying to get a preliminary head count.

 

I have space for 4 trucks on my driveway and there's always plenty of street parking for others. But I am in North Fort Worth. And I have pretty much no automotive tools.

 

Lookie what FedEx just gave me. Now I don't need to buy a winch!

 

Those don't make it so you don't need a winch. They just make it so you may not need it as much.
