    Well, I have something for mod day. I need to bleed my brakes. Doesn’t sound like much but damn I need them to be bled. Might change my front diff oil as well.

    If anyone has 6 ton jack stands and/or tire chocks can you bring them?

    I have 2 sets of each but they are currently under my buddy's daughter's trucks that should already be done... but are not finished.

    4 ton will work, 6 ton is just taller and will give us more room.

    Actually - now that I think about it they might be 4 ton. When I used it last mod day they were on the highest setting and it barely gave enough room.

    Figure I'll let everyone get there stuff in order first (because it's my house so I don't have to go home, so I can work on my shit late lol)

    But I have a few things to do too lol.

    Replace rear diff fluid
    Do the rear diff breather relocate
    Replace inner tie rods

    And I ordered a set of ToyTec springs from @Wheeler's Off-Road Inc... hopefully they'll be here in time for mod day.

    Sticker proofs are approved (by me) the order has been completed, shipped, and due for delivery Friday as well.



    I may have taken the liberty of ordering an El Taco Diablo decal for my truck while I was on the site. :spy:

    @foxrcing07... looks like I will, in fact, be making a trip up to see @FirstTimeShortTime early next week :thumbsup:

    Unless he wants to come hang out with the cool kids on the "209 Tacos Mod Day" :)

    Not sure what alls going on with you guys. Sounds like another party I'm going to have to pass on. I'm helping transport kids to and from lake Hawley for the next two weekends.
