January 2018 Seattle-Area Meet

What issues you having ?

 

I got almost all the way done and I pulled a little too hard on my drivers side spindle and brake assembly to make room to slide the coilovers up in to place and I pulled my cv axle apart. Messed around with it for 2 hours before taking it out to attempt to fix it. I’m going to replace it tomorrow.

 

You either pulled extremely hard or that CV wasn’t put together with enough force.

And please do not get a new cv from an auto parts store, they are absolute junk. Go OEM or through CVJ which is rebuilt OEM cv’s. I had all my cv’s and long travel cv’s from CVJ

 

I have a spare , takes me about 30 mins to replace . If you still wanted to make it we could fix it in the parking lot of safe way. Also please remember this ... do not I repeat do NOT DRIVE with out the outer , tire end , of the cv axle. Your entire wheel will fall off. Been down that rout and it’s not fun.

 

That’s the problem with this cv is that I bought it from an auto parts store and now a year later it’s junk. Should’ve just got an oem replacement just didn’t feel like shelling out $400 for one. Learned my lesson.

 

If you can wait call CVJ on Monday. I doubt any dealer will have in stock anyway. I think for 2 it’s $220 or $250

 

Fak, I'm going to have to back out. I was planning to take the redeye flight back to Houston on Sunday but something came up at work and I've gotta bump up the flight to tomorrow. I keep backing out I'll make it eventually.

 

I’ll have to check them out, not a bad price at all.

 

Well I can’t get my rear passenger door to close. The non-slip plastic step on the side rails decided to lift. And now it’s just enough to keep the door from shutting....

Edit: Fixed! Will be on the road in 5 minutes. So obviously I’ll be late to Safeway.

 

Ratchet strap that bad boy

 

ETA on everyone ??

 

I feel like we're not being very social because it's raining.

 

Facts! Forecast says partly cloudy so hopefully the shit clears up.

 

Are you guys all sitting in your trucks instead of talking? Haha. Rain doesn't hurt anyone

 

sounds like great fun, just not a good weekend for me. Getting a new fridge delivered, and tearing out old carpet to put down hardwood flooring. Fun times. Enjoy, and post lots of pics! Will try to make the Feb gathering.

 

Great trip, especially considering we were all strangers at the start, haha!

 

Nice! Who's blue AC? I feel I've seen it around
