New England Mod & Meetup Thread:

You actually got a kit?

 

Halfway installed just dealing with and injury and made a minor mistake.

 

Im halfway done, ran into a minor issue.
Im in West Boylston

 

Zero desire to go to Boylston or anywhere near there but I can't wait to see this finished!

 

LOL, your not the only one that can't wait. It's up on stands right outside my front door and is killing me its not done yet.

 

Pics of what you got so far/ your rig? Very curious to see the real world performance of this kit and what kind of travel numbers you'll be pulling

 

Not much to see yet.. Cam tab gussets welded in, steering sector shaft extended, new steering rack is in. I need a new high pressure line and tap the rack threads (my fault). Need to put front diff back in, then its just bolt it all up, add new brake lines, bleed the brakes, refill fluids, weld in the limit straps and lastly an alignment. I think that's it. Still a fair amount of work but the harder stuff is done. And yes I will adress the paint when im done.

 

What's that meme of the girl with sharpie on her face and it's like "your TC oil while you spend 300$ on a rough country lift" or something like that.

Your paint needs help an exorcist.

 

What's the minor mistake/ issue?


Hope your injury isn't truck related and you heal up soon. I'm working in Shrewsbury and thru your area pretty often. Depending on when I'd be down to give you a hand.

 

LOL, I do need to fix but only concerned with rust really. Plan is to be wheeling regularly again soon.

 

Nah, old injury from the service that has been aggrevated this past year.
I need to tap my steering rack and get a new high pressure line.If you have a tap and die you could swing by to me, thats half the battle. I'm available anytime, pretty much.

 

Lol, I blew out my knee in the guard a long time ago. Always sorry to hear about a injured vet.
I definitely have some taps and dies. I'll be back in Shrewsbury next week on the nice days. I'll get in touch this weekend and we can plan something for next week.

 

Thanks, I do appreciate it!
