    maby this would be a good time to do a whole engine tune up. Ill need an oil change soon as well. So maby Ill seafoam in the oil (drive for a few weeks) and seafoam the engine (at mod day), and after change the oil. Then maby MAF and O2 clean. Possible new sparkplugs? Since getting the truck at 85k miles I dont know when they were changed last and Im at 105k now. (it would give me peace of mind).

    Alright add me to the list for a cab mount chop, please. Is there anything I should bring besides food/money? I can bring a few jack stands if needed.

    The more jack stands the better I only have a few sets so some more 6 or 12 ton jack stands would make things go faster. Also if you guys want to bring some air hose and air tools I have 5 air connections in the shop but only one 50' reel. My compressor can keep up with a lot so we can run a few impacts at once.:cool:

    I've been lurking around this thread for a while now. :spy: I have yet to make it to a meet and greet or mod day. I figured I ought to meet a few of you guys before I start signing up help for help with mods. I think I'm going to commit to this day and just be an extra set of hands and tools. I'm pretty darn handy and you can refer to my build page for the few mods that I have successfully done. I can do mechanical, electrical (lights, audio/video), design (engineering degree prior to switching to pharmacy), but my welding skills are not up to par for another persons vehicle. Oh, and I don't want to forget a Taco owner's bread and butter; I can rattle can just about anything you want. :) I apologize for the lengthy post, but I know I'm going to be one of the FNGs and I wanted to at least introduce myself before I showed up. Looking forward to putting some usernames, to real names, to faces, and obviously the trucks. See you guys there.

    Adding to the list it's always good to have more hands at these things.

    Yeah, 3 tons won't reach my frame and it's better to have the heavier duty ones.

    If you have the money get the 12 tons the 6 tons don't go up high enough to get my back tires off the ground. And if you get the expos you will have the same problem. Also the 12 ton jack stands are just safer wider food print and you don't have to raise them that high to lift the truck off the ground.

    I'll look at the prices for the 6-12 tons.

    Any favored brands?
