    Thanks fellas. I read that they can have trouble getting their wrenches/sockets on the inner LCA bolts just outside of the skid. I just looked and think they should have enough room :notsure:

    If anyone else has experience one way or the other please chime in. Appointment is tomorrow morning.

    I was with the tech when we did mine (twice), he had zero problems getting to anything down there. At one point he actually unbolted and removed one of my LCA's to install a 1/4" top plate spacer before i showed him a much easier way of doing things lol

    Missed connections thread reminds me of that section on craigslist or those fishing emails you get after being on some porn site.

    Spotted - Saw bad ass truck, truck description and location.


    Missed Connection - I saw you as I walked into the building yesterday. You were very handsome with that salt and pepper and jam beard. We locked eyes but I was too nervous to talk to you and looked away. I hope to see you again someday.

    Every time I see the word zoo I think of our children yelling out genies when we took them to the zoo. I need not say they don't get off the ridge much nor do I say to what they were referring.
    Possibly a camping trip and late evening beer guzzling story.

    Yer good man. No need to pop those suckers off for the alignment. Plus, the weight needs to be there anyways for a proper alignment to be done.

    Will definitely be attending this as well since it's right down the street from me. Probably be a little late since I've got to run to Folsom in the morning, then head to the bank but I'll be there afterwards. Especially since he said he's got first round

    We can use Lexi as an uber. She may or may not know this yet.
