New England Mod & Meetup Thread: May 17 at Jared’s!!

Added a poll for brewery meet up. Whichever day wins will be the plan then we can move on to a Eastside meet.

 

Yo helpful people, got all my components in, coils, diff drop, kdss spacers and pan hard bar relocate bracket. (Red box are shocks for my Honda DD). My mechanic is going to swap the front coils on the struts when they get pulled out. Soooo who wants to do a work day at my shop in mahwah NJ… I can offer some weld work in exchange as well as beer and pizza, there is also a sweet Offroad spot next door.. could fold that into the day to make it worth the trip for people. Nice level blacktop and even a concrete spot, others could bring mods if they want and make a time of it.

Orrrr do this somewhere with a spring compressor, but driving it home without a good alignment might not be the best idea.

ideally this gets done in the next month, let’s say before Memorial Day. Maybe weekend of the 22nd, let’s see if anyone is interested in helping and then work on a date.

what else am I gonna need to do this work any ideas?

 

In! I'll come to you, I can beg borrow or steal a spring compressor by then. I need a CMC. Have the plates.

@Brownmatthall

 

Awesome! Been wanting to do a CMC. Ill work on a spring compressor too, or maybe I can build one.

 

You know damn well I'm in bud, I'll be doing some side work in Pomona within the next couple weekends on a Friday so I'll let you know which it is when I find out and we can try for that Saturday?

 

I mean, yeah, but I typically work from my Fiance's house.
Armor isn't fully painted yet, so I need to get that done first. Otherwise, mostly small items if not electrical.

 

get some CMC plates bruh and lets do it on your rig too!! I also have some scrap that will work, but that will take some extra time to cut and fit.

 

.

Take less time if we trace mine out. But yeah I think everyone has them in stock for short coin.

 

Deal, ill order em up now
Might even look around for some spacers if we're chopping...

 

Looks like the same plates for yours too

 

Oh yeah trace em!! Great ide. Matt that will take no time at all, but I guess still more than buying them.
Spacers?

 

I’m debating on a whole cab mount relocate..

 

Spacers, wheel spacers for more poke. Can't run them or bigger tires without the cmc

 

@JDUB-Fabrication I could be in.. but, can't promise anything.
And I'd need to bring my Attention Hound

That, and while I do have skids now, you could see what you need to do to adapt your skids to the Pro Skid..

 

17 bucks for the plates shipped from BAMF, no reason not to go that route haha. And yeah wheel spacers so my skinnies sit flush and look cool (also so it's one more thing off the list for 35" kendas down the road...)

 

Attention Hound? Dogo? If so that's hillarious, and friendly dogs are welcome, my lab will most likely be there too. My shop has a mostly fenced-in yard.

 

I voted 5/28 and 6/4 but that's just my schedule alone. Brewery is okay even though I don't drink as long as there's foodage

 

you all go have fun.

 

She's a good girl. My shadow.
Does good with my buddy's chocolate lab. Definitely plays rough though.
Belgian mix, rescue.

 

I've got an ecgs bushing that needs to go in - never done one before and wouldn't mind a guiding hand/eye.

Glad to help with any electrical work if anyone is looking. I can also get some 1gr-fe big 3 kits prepped and/or bring stock/lugs/tools for other plants if anyone is interested. I'll need lead time to order wire.
