NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I did buy the bracket and it's great, but you could do the same thing by removing the mount on the windshield and gluing it further up.

 

Is anyone interested in a Sep. mod day? I'll be out of town for a boat race the second weekend of the month, but available to host any other time.

 

I'm trying to find time with Will to do some body panel work

 

Count me in - I have a full lift to install!

 

I'll need some help with the UCA.

 

I bought Tinker Troy's UCA he had advertised.

 

I might be able to make it depending on the day ya'll are planning. I don't really have anything to install at the moment but could lend a helping hand.

 

I suggest you buy some acetone, automatic transmission fluid, and a spray bottle. Mix equal parts acetone and ATF in the spray bottle, shake to mix it all up, the spray on nuts a few minutes before breaking them loose when you go to do you lift install.

If by help, you mean somebody to hold a cold beer for you, yes you do need help. Replacing UCAs will probably be better done using jack stands to hold the front end up since you will want to support the rotor and LCA to keep it from flopping when you have the UCA taken off.

 

Depending on when I might be in. I have some UCAs I need to install. I'm busy on 9/6, and the weekend of 9/13-9/14

 

im just curious but when it comes to these mod days you guys talk about who has what as far as equipment like welders grinders plasma cutters and such??

 

I'm down for a mod day. Don't have anything to install but could help out

 

Yes - eventually.

While we're on the topic, I can bring a compressor, some air tools and an angle grinder. Also the usual list of sockets, torque wrenches and my TRD koozie to keep my beer cold.

 

Expect standard tools and a few specialty items. If you need something specific, such as a welder, you should make mention of it.

 

How about a 12" horizontal band saw too...?

 

Hell yeah Jake! Good to see you'll be back by that time and able to meet. Now if someone has a plasma cutter we can grind, cut and shape any metal on the truck.

BoatRacer, you have a lift in your garage if I recall? Also I am assuming all options are open for bringing meat and grilling it?

Also I can bring a soldering iron and Playskool electrical testers (Harbor Freight) and some basic wiring.

 

i have everything I could possibly ever want here at home in my dads shop we built. lift plas 4 different welders band saw 1" drill press but bitch is I cant bring any of that with me. wont have a place for it so I was wondering who has all that stuff in WA.

A 13 hour drive home is a long ways to go just to do some mod work to the truck. I plan on selling a bunch of my tools just so I can buy smaller more portable stuff but yeah we'll see.

 

I may be down for a little road trip... If possible I'd like to install the abs cancel switch, maybe trailer plug relocation bracket, and rearview mirror mod. Anyone?

 

Meh.. Was more just chiming in..

Just fired one of my crew; have 600k pounds of Pollock to catch for Sept. - might be back in WA towards the 15th.

Extracted a sheared stud out of a $8k turbo housing yesterday.. That was fun.

Anyone need a job??

 

Yes I do. Haven't worked legitimately in 3 months.

 

Hire me Jake! haha
