New England Mod & Meetup Thread

This is escalating quickly

 

*already escalated

 

I’ve got my new gmrs radio to install, some DD sport fogs and some sound mat…but family always seems to book up my weekends. I’m also due for plugs, and should probably look into the condenser drain…
Oh, and the throttle body cleaning. I expect I’ll get to a good chunk of this on the first rainy day now that I can get into my garage.

 

Delayed response- havent been on the forum much lately; lots going on right now.

Did mine with @Blais03 this past summer, using @05Taco4x4 s bearings. Very happy with with them and would recommend to anyone who needs to do front bearings.

 

Turd gen.

These are back in supply on Amazon. Haven't been looking but they were down from eBay/Amazon for a while.

I have a passenger side one if anyone is interested. I bought both but with the platform the passenger side no fit.

 

Going to preemptively say UCAs for next mod day....



And some fender trimming probably

 

We have the technology
Start hitting those UCA bolts with some WD40 or PB Blaster like... now haha

 

Definitely, also reminds me I should order some new bolts

 

Was thinking about this today. That stupid skid bolt is probably my number one. If we get that, then front and center diffs and maybe ATF if time permits, I'm happy. Engine oil spark plugs brake fluid I can wrestle that in the driveway pretty easy with the skid plate on. Stupid bolt

 

You are more then welcome to come and join us sir.

 

You have those new UCAs yet, Mr. New Avatar Every Week? Hahaha
Wonder if the kit'll come with them

 

I'm buying some spc's off @AllTacosFloat so that's a no
And I told you guys it was already dated

 

I may need to get new longer rear break lines
any better then others any I should stay away from
thanks

 

Most of them are pretty much the same. I replaced mine with the Wheelers +4 lines in the rear. Just start throwing some pb blaster on the upper connections days or even weeks before the day we change them out. Those upper connections can be a bitch to Crack off of the hard lines

 

Also, make sure you use a flare wrench. I can bring one if you don't have one.

 

Might be in for a bolt extraction. Dealer put my plates on when I bought it several years ago. This bolt will not budge at all. Don't know if it's really rusted on there, or if Hercules installed my plates. I've been using PB blaster on it for a few days. At this point, I'm afraid it'll strip or snap off.

 

I've seen a lot of this. I usually grab a pair of vise grips and hope for the best. I tighten it a little at first then try backing it out to "break" the rust that is holding it.

I usually put new screws on the used cars that I inspect.

 

I've got a cousin who lives up near Montpelier that I'd like to see this spring. Keeping an eye out for when y'all are posting meets.

 

I have a set of stainless bolts I was going to replace these with, and some anti seize. I thought I heard something pop at one point, but nothing moved.
