New England Mod & Meetup Renaissance group

I've been thinking the same thing

Jared, (crashandgiggles) I don't anticipate staying all day...can I leave my popup with you and get it at some future gtg?

 

We could always say fuch it and go to the beach


Feelings won't be hurt if anyone bails over fears of melting or just doesn't want to hang in the heat.

I think a little less will get done and more hanging than working but should be good times. As a bonus, paint will dry very fast

 

Eh, I'm Puertorican/Jamaican, I can deal

 

We have multiple pop ups, I have my Bubba keg and it will be ful with 5 gallons of ice water with cups, and I can always break out my hose lol.....come onnnnn...... btw....we have a 95% confirmation of @DrFunker stopping by.

That fine, You can leave it with me. We can put it into my new shed

Fuck the beach......we can do this.

 

That would be fannnnnntastic!!!!!

 

By the way......if anyone a has a popup in their possession.....just bring it

 

Beach could help

 

I just didn't want to call anyone a pussy


Somewhat on topic, midweek I swapped in my new LCAs, inner and outer tie rods, modified the sleeves to fit and those are my before numbers after getting it back together.


Show up to the alignment and " the sleeves have to come off, not enough play. Have to reschedule "
I ask for 30 minutes or so to get them off and guys gives me a thumbs up. Driver side less than 10 minutes. Stuck better on the passenger and took forever because it spins with the tie rod and covers where you would grab it.

Anyway done and done,,,I think a 2 piece design that screws together would be better.
Rant complete


Yes, I did all the work in their parking lot

 

Getting my tools together.

I’ve never seen Archer.

 

Oy, should I get an alignment before these then?

 

Really only if you need one... if yours seems a little off I noticed one of your tabs(front driver) was a bit smashed over. Maybe we loosen it and tap it back to 90 degrees and see how it is.

How is your alignment rn?

If it's bad, YES wait to put them on till after or you or the mechanic will have to take them off and possibly cut to reinstall. Town fair wouldn't do it and were going to send me away.

 

been tracking weird at highway speed so Ive been thinking of bringing it in, we can definitely try smacking them back first though

 

Same on mine. They have me this pic ( not my truck) to show the problem. Again, they wouldn't tap it straight but said the alignment wouldn't hold on that side from it. Took a few taps with a hammer and cold chisel.

 

Wish I had welder to put a bead on either side or something, probably gonna need a gusset sooner or later

 

Exactly what I was thinking. A bead down the outside to reinforce would be perfect.

 

I'm a turrible welder, but because I'm also obviously dumb, can someone explicitly show me where the bead should go?
Really just trying to evaluate how much of a chore this might be.

 

Where the hand written line is pointing. They make a weld in gusset kit but all it needs is to be beefy.

 

Cam tab gussets are on my list. I also want that marlin crawler lca reinforcement after recently stumbling on that…
