    Gotcha, I'll stick with the SuperBumps up front and may put the Icon hydraulic stops in the back someday.

    I would suggest Heritage Brewing in Manassas, but they don't serve food. Damn good beer though. We need to do a wrench day as soon as things warm up. I need to swap my rear blocks for a set of AALs. The wife & I are considering doing one of the open weekends at Redcloud next month. Anybody interested? We can discuss on Tuesday.

    My point exactly. If we get the snow tuesday, the meet is still on in my book. I wanted to discuss the future of the NOVA meets and MOD days. Actually plan out a few things so we can help eachother.

    I do not mind helping when people need it. But I showed up to one of the VA Beach meets. WOW, people were focusing on one vehicle and helping all in unicen. I was smiling in approval.

    Have yet to make it to something like that up here. Not saying that there has not been anything like that. Just want to make more of those happen.

    I would like to do the

    -BREATHER(s) MOD - all of them. <- I have big hands and seems there were a couple people that did this already. Would like some help. frogsauce?
    -CMC and re-weld <- Might do this Monday evening. Most likely will chop myself, and get DoubleD to weld since I have been unable to afford a welder yet.
    -Mount and balance 35"s - I have the LEAD. Just need access to a machine and can do it myself. Might go on post to do this one.

    I'll be there, work can close but nothing will stop me from getting wings and beer!

    I'd love to get some more regular events going here. A big issue we are facing is that people just come and go. Which we can't do much about but if we can keep a consistent schedule I think it will help us retain interest and drive more activities for the group.

    I can help you with the rear diff breather one Skygear...where do you think you want to put the breather? I put mine in the rear closeable bed cubby. I ordered the breather and union parts from my dealer and they had them in a couple days...picked up some fuel line from HD and trimmed as needed.

    What other breather mods are there? The front ones are already pretty high in the engine compartment so I didn't extend them anymore.

    I believe frogsauce did ALL the breathers into one box with a filter.

    Tranny, front diff, rear diff,.. Think there was 4 or 5. Have to dig that thread up again.

    I say yes to all of the above. I don't feel like multi quoting. Haha I'm planning on potentially getting a rear bumper at some point this spring/summer so I'll need some help getting that installed.. The ATO one I'm looking at is a healthy ~120 pounds. I'll also probably have someone help me change all my fluids in a few months.. I'll be coming up on the 30k mark soon. And while I'm sure I can do it myself, I want someone there to at least make sure I don't fuck it up somehow lol.

    I don't have much experience with doing anything but I'd be glad to help and learn.

    The worst part IMO of the 30k service is changing out all the gear oil. It's smelly, messy, and just a pain to get it all changed out but easy to do in terms of the steps needed.

    Be wary of the ATO rear. (you're getting the H/C version?) A lot of members have had issues with the quality and build of the ATO. PM CKeene9 for his opinion...

    I think the new gear oil smells worse than the stuff that comes out. I used the write ups on here and it was easy.

    On a side note related to mod days, a friend of mine from work has an icon lift with dakars on order and once it comes in we will most likely install in my garage. I have a new set of rear shocks i may do at the same time, and i still have the IMS that i have yet to install since last june :anonymous: and i also just received my hood lift kit from redline last week.

    Im never able to make the meets cause my wife works afternoon/night time so i am stuck at home with the kids.

    Do you have a rivet gun (for the Redlines) John? I can grab one from the firehouse to let you borrow if you need one.
