Hollister Hills March 23rd

Maybe.

 

Holy crap we've got a huge group going!
Oh and I was talking with MrGrimm at a socal trail run about his ham...he talks (or at least has talked) with people in South Africa pretty regularly...

 

This meet is going to be huge ! This is gonna be epic

 

If any of you are interested a couple of us are gonna get together at my house on Saturday March 15th to do some final prep work on our rigs for the HH run on Sunday (3/23)... You are more than welcome to come over and join us.

 

Hey whats up brad I have a set of camburg ball joint ucas that I could sure use some help with installing. I would like to put them in myself just dont really trust myself wrenching if that makes sense. If not I have a shop that will do it. Either way thanks names Alex btw

 

Hey Alex I would be down to help install the UCLAs. I have not personally put in a set yet and so I'm not sure if I have the necessary tools to complete the installation. I think we would need a ball joint removal tool to break the original ball joint loose from the spindle. I think BBTacosurfer (Dave) or The Glen may have some insight on the process being that they both have UCLAs installed onto there Tacomas. I know when I get a set and install them I'm going to do it at my work so I can get it aligned right away. I work in the service department at Tracy Dodge.

 

If you don't plan on saving the stock UCA, you don't need a ball joint tool to get them apart, just a pry bar.

Be sure to lube the crap out of the Camberg's, I didn't lube mine enough and they squeak.

 

There is no need to pry anything one good whack to the spindle and they pop apart. Just loosen the castle nut about 3/4 the way and whack the spindle near the top.

 

Bring him...

Were going to have to do groups which is fine. We could meet by the bathrooms and picnic tables by the big obsticles. Lots of parking there but maybe not this much. We can take a photo and split into groups.

Should be a lot of fun.

 

This is the spot im thinking of. You will enter the park at the Vinyard school. Go up the hill make a right on the first green trail and the bathrooms will be on the right.

 

Okay wounds good. I dont plan on reusing my stock ucas because eventually I will go with a uniball setup. If we cant do I can just pay the shop to do it im just not too mechanically inclined when it comes to this stuff thanks brad

 

Alright cool cool. Will you guys be at brads on the 15th ??

 

+1

 

I have a motorcycle ride on the 15th, sorry.

 

I wish I could go...Gonna be out of town this weekend. Brad is a cool dude Alex, he will help you out man!

 

Ill be PreRunning. Anyone else?

 

The stars just aligned for me. One commitment was cancelled, the other was changed. I've been bummed about missing it, now I'm stoked!! I'm crossing my fingers that a cb radio deal comes through, but I'm second in line... Either way, YES!

 

There was a cb setup on the NorCal craigslist finds thread...

 

You sly dog... I see you already pm'ed hope it goes well and hope I'll be talking to you on the cb this trip haha

 

Worst part is, I saw it last night and sat on my pm'ing fingers. Decided today that I should pull the trigger. Now I can just wait and hope.
