jbmccul's Swamp - Cajun BS Thread

I'm a 1/2 way decent teacher if you want to learn, and if you just want to help hand tools and watch...That's legit too.
We'll probably make a day of it and do some work on a couple trucks depending on who has projects and stuff.

 

Yea, that's all I really wanted to do. Just observe and give a helping hand when needed. I have zero experience, but would love to acquire some knowledge from you guys. I work on weekdays, so would this mod day be on a weekend? If not, I could always sneak away for a day lol.

 

So do you guys think I should go with 1.5" or 2" in the rear? I'll be doing 2.5" up front

 

We can certainly look at a weekend - SJE and I have weird schedules so sometimes we do mini days or just grab lunch or whatever. But weekends can work just as well as any time. Plan for a whole day.

I gotta look at my work schedule to make sure i've got some weekend time off, but we can start to kick some dates around??

 

The weekend would be best for me too.

I currently have a 2" leveling spacer and a 1.5" aal and the back sits slightly higher than the front so I would say 1.5" if you want it close to level. In my case, it was level at first but the front settled more than the rear. If you go 2" in the back you might end up sitting a little lower up front.

 

Yeah im good any weekend just about. I can wait until patrick's stuff comes in that way we can all get together when yalls schedule is free and knock it out all in one day. Id say we could do two lifts and your snorkel at least in one shot huh?

 

If two groups are working on the two lifts and we coordinate well...Should be able to get two done. The snorkle I'm going to be taking my time on and I can do on my own if need be...so we'll work thru what we can.

 

Sounds great. Next weekend would be pushing it because I'm not sure how long it's going to take to ship. The 6th is good for me, unless something comes up. I'm good for whenever. More than willing to work around y'all's schedule.

 

As it stands right now im off the weekend of the 6th.

 

6th works for me too...Looks like w are picking a date. I'll have time the 7th too...I work over night Sun to Mon...But I can mod trucks on Sun.

 

Perfect! I should also tell you that you did work on my brother's truck, Carter (Voodoo). He spoke highly of you and his lift looks fantastic. His lifted Taco gave me the inspiration to get a Tacoma and lift it. Some of the credit should go to you haha.

 

The 6th it is. That'll give me time to get my rim situation figured out. My cab mount chop is finished and the new piece is welded in so I'm good to go. Patrick are you keeping the same size tires?

 

Yes, just got the 4 pro comp all terrains for $650 installed. Found a buy 3 get 1 free coupon on 4wheelparts.

 

Just ordered the lift!

 

For $130 you could've gotten the rears too! They're normally $200 by themselves. Or do you already have rears?

 

I'm getting the rears later down the road. There aren't a necessity and I'm heading off to college this fall. I've heard so many stories about blowing money, so I'm making sure I am managing my money correctly and only buying the things that I need.

 

Btw, have we all agreed on the 6th? If so, what time should I be expected to arrive?

 

Also where at....maybe I missed that part

 

I'm assuming at Mark's shop. I'm sure he'll PM us details closer towards the 6th.

 

That lift at the base makes everything much easier lol. Not to mention every tool imaginable. But anywhere is cool with me. I have a lot of tools at work and a receiving bay we can pull into. With AC! Patrick I would say the earlier the better so we can avoid rushing
