    I’ll come out there. I spend 5 days a week in Modesto so it wouldn’t be much for me to go out there. Not sure the othere 209’ers wanna go that far East.

    Bro I’m an Electrician. I weld with screwdrivers, on accident. I won’t be much help. I’m willing to watch and learn though. Im a great support staff. I can order pizza and take out the garbage.

    Just doing the rear brakes and running the air line for the locker. Not much excitement going on, most of the good stuff is already done. :thumbsup:

    Gotcha... didn't know if you were still having to put in the rear end. But now I think I remember you posted pics of the rear end in, when you were trying to do something with the rear E brake.

    Yeah, I was trying to find out if I needed to remove the ebrake to remove the rear axle from the axle housing.

    So... last night, my son and I got the RTT rack to this point. Mocked it up and tack welded all the legs on. When we got the boxes pulled and went to pull the rack off the truck, all the tack welds failed on the legs.

    I have no pictures of the aftermath... I think there was a couple profanities invloved, but not that many. I was so pissed, I think I went to my "quiet space."
