North Jersey Weekend BBQ/Wheelin/Moddin'/Whatever

ok well i guess i should shoot to be up ur way around noon? it will be roughly a 2 hr drive so i was just trying to plan it out

 

How much for your hood.

 

Gonna do my best to be there Sunday! I see no reason to not be

 

Any wrenching going on sunday at any point? Maybe I'll do those UCAs?

 

sure why not, when we get back from wheelin saturday, maybe not tooo much wrenchin, its gonna be a hot one but like boyd said, water guns left in the sun so the water gets nice and comforatbale

 

oh yeah, chris, maybe we can use your pop up with boyds pop up for shade on sunday for some extra shade. you gonna be around the house today, im in cranford till about 2 or so

 

Literally just gave it back to him yesterday lol. Let me see if he's coming to the race on saturday...if he is, I'll have him bring it w/ him so I can grab it!

 

bring white grease, a grease gun, antisieze, big channel locks, big cresent wrench, and i believe i used 3/4" sockets

put my bolts back in the same way they came out, idk why everyone says to put them in from the other way.. theres stuff in the way to do that.

the screws that hold the brake lines strip *really* easily. dont try to tighten it past slightly snug. use lock tite.







Boyd can you bring your spanner wrenches? i need to get my coil overs adjusted properly.


list of what i want to accomplish so i dont forget:
-adjust coil overs
-spin passengerside spring to allow uca to clear (pry bar, c clamps, spring compressor if i can get one)
-diff drop washers/washers on ifs skid bolts - try to gain clearance to allow more lift
-grease gun for drive shaft
-check torque on all newly installed suspension parts (tool kit)
-leather detailer\
-interior detailer/ micro fiber towels
-spray wd40 on all bolts that will be removed soon (exhaust, rear suspension)
-touch up bumper (rustoleum spray paint)
-touch up skid plate (krylon spray paint)
-ez up tent


-drink lots of beer

 

Spanner wrench = small socket that fits inside the hole on the coilover plus a long extension

Works great for me.

 

Gotta be a socket that fits nice and snug in there. I've done it a few times with my icons with the truck sitting on the ground without issue.

 

ouch.

someone else suggested a phillips screw driver of the right diameter and cut off the head. my spanner wrench is on the way from dsms but since you have one i'd like to borrow it this weekend.



i used white grease while assembling the ucas. helped to slide the bushings in, and hopefully will help keep them removable down the road. antisieze would probably do the same but i had white grease so i used it

 

yea i didnt feel good about anti sieze on bushings. i guess you could just squeeze some mobil 1 on them.. hadnt really thought of that. im used to using white grease during assembly from working in a bike shop

 

I got bored so I checked what fit and took some pics. 1/4" drive 6mm socket, put a small 1/4" drive extension in that, then slide a 3/8" drive 1/2" deep well socket over that, and finally a 3/8" drive 12" long extension. Free spanner wrench.

 

^ lol!

yea im pretty sure that will snap if i try that

 

You scurrred? Hasn't snapped through 4-5 times I've adjusted mine.

 

I gotta stop drinking, I remembered that's not how I did it. Fixed above ^^^^
Much stronger that way.

 

I just tested your method with what i could find lying around and there is no way it was going to be strong enough to spin the collar

 

I'm going to end up making it on Sunday only. Eddie, when you figure out what time, please text me, I'm not sure if I'll make it back online tonight. Thanks.

 

I'm on my way! Making a pit stop at Davids shop.

 

I guess I'm going to miss this too!
