New England Mod & Meetup Thread:

In wherever it may be

 

I won’t lie, if it’s just me doing stuff, that’s 90 minutes each way - I can have the thing installed a 90% of the other stuff done in just the travel time. If I’m the only one wrenching I’ll probably just do it in my driveway. But if we got lifts and other shenanigans going on too then I’ll make the trek.

 

I still have hammer hangers to do if we want to make a day of it. And I know some peeps doing tie rod sleeves soon too.

Speaking of which, @crashngiggles, do you know what setting I need for the icon rxts? I thought it was stock location.

 

Hell, I need to get off my ass and install some bump stops....

Still on the look-out for some sliders.

Hoping to finally wire my amp in this weekend....

 

Yes, it will be the same setting as mine.

 

There's other settings for the RXT??? What am I missing now, lol

 

Talking about the hammer hangers. There's two sets of holes so they can go for different length leaf springs.

 

@crashngiggles , mail call!

Holy fast shipping from boch toyota. Not that it's far but just went out yesterday.

Forgot the jamb nuts

Had to put one together to see

 

Well, I was on the ‘zon, and the hooke road chinesium bumper had one scratch and dent where it looks like basic handling scratches on the shackle hangers, they repainted it - seemed like superficial damage that will happen the first time I take it up the road to a camp site 70$ off - grabbed me a switch panel too because why wouldn’t I at that point!

Gonna be a busy day in the garage I guess. If we got other people wrenching though let me know, I’ll probably do the bumper in my driveway since it SHOULD be (famous last words) about a 30 minute job, could come up to do my panel and some fluids and help out with other shenanigans.

 

Maybe I could do the lower bushing in my strut

 

I can't wait.

 

I'm still in fantasy land of wanting to get maybe bilstein 5100s and an AAL but.. I feel like the trucks only got 15k miles. Maybe let it get a few more in first.

Open to meeting you guys and giving an extra set of hands if you guys get together

 

The sooner the better. Less rust.

 

That's the truth. Once the rust sets in you use Sawzalls instead of wrenches

 

any suggestions on an AAL? I think that’s what we said I’d need with the 5100s?
I like to bookmark things I want/need to get one day

 

Headstrong or icon seem to be favorites but have limited knowledge

 

I’m not sure as I did a new set of leaf springs when I did my lift.

 

@Merling

I have 5100s with ADO coils, and 6pack AAL kit. Pretty well dialed.

Gonna need to bump up a step though due to weight....

You're welcome to a test drive, or a ride...

 

I’m on the same town you are.

 

Whatever your suspension warranty is - wait that out if you aren't going wheeling. Heck, I take mine stock wheeling and keep up pretty well. This past weekend was the first time I had any hiccups keeping up with trucks that are built up a bit. My warranty is void 10 times over from the shit I've done with the truck but if you aren't wheeling I'd just suck it up for I think it's 60k.
