GA Mod Day Jan. 30, 2021

Alright ladies and gents let's have another Mod Day since COVID ruined most of last year for us. I'll put out a poll with a few dates and which ever works best for most of us (or me since it's my house ) This will happen on a Saturday, I'll have at least 2 garage spaces that can have a truck on jack stands, plenty of other space for truck parking.

As for food we can possibly grill or smoke some meat or just have pizza/JD's BBQ from down the street. Entirely up to the group, I've got a decent amount of tools but wouldn't hurt to bring extras (especially jack stands and possibly jacks). Let me know what you guys think! If you guys want February let me know and I'll add more of those dates. Also it is not required to perform a mod, you can just come and hangout, learn or help out.

When: January 30th, 2021

Where: Woodstock, I'll PM the group with my address

Woo!!!
I should have my Bilstein lift kit in by that time if anyone will be able to help me put that on (reusing stock coils, will that be an issue?)
If not, I can still bring my computer (for some tuning of turd gens maybe?)
I may have something else to mod by that point anyway.

 

will be great meet and greet for me.

 

We could try this method or just take it to one of the shops near by (there's 2 that could probably do it).

I'll add you to this list

 

Also I got rid of the 23rd as I may be out of town that weekend, so poll got reset

 

Looks legit!

 

I'll be doing upper and lower control arms, also swapping out my 885 coils for 886's. I was planning on bringing a coil compressor from advanced auto parts that I used last time. They aren't as scary to use as some think.

 

I'm not gonna vote yet because I can't commit to anything. That said, I'll try to be there to be helping hands. Maybe direct some folks and drink some beer

 

I'll add you to the list. But yeah that may be easier since they are the stock coils for his

 

I'mma need some help getting your old 885's on the 5100's too. Picking up some new Spindles, and hopefully new leaf packs as well. Idk how much of it I can get done on this mod day but some is more than none! I can definitely bring chairs, beer, and some food for everyone

 

@GATacoRookie

 

List has been updated and as long as these trucks are rusty I think we could knock all of this out. Nothing too difficult yet, last mod day we knocked out UCAs/LCAs, new front shocks and I think even did an AAL all on one truck

 

Thanks. This sure beats the hell out of me doing it all on my own in my drive way. It's not hard stuff, just an extra set of hands is always nice.

 

If I don't get to it before then, my current to-do list:

Install remote start, amplifier, speakers, cell booster, and AAL.
Reconnect CB radio and antenna.
Remove leaf pack and remove surface rust. Coat with graphite paint and reinstall.

I'm hoping to have all of that done before then though

 

Since you’re so close. Not sure if I will have any mods to do. Possibly my roof rack but will do my best to attend and lend a hand as long as it doesn’t fall on a Saturday that I am working.

 

Interesting gonna see what I can pull off

 

I’m in! 4hrs away but need to do my hammer hangers!

 

@AugustaTaco anything you want to bring and get done?! GX or Taco?!

 

You haven’t done those yet?!

GX will be done by January since all I have left is the roof rack. Only mod on the Taco I can think of is the aux fuse panel...might bring it up there for that

 

I am down if I am in Ga.
