New England Mod & Meetup Thread: May 17 at Jared’s!!

Sounds good. Will need to chat. Currently still laid up on the couch...

Yessir, I've seen yall in action twice now with those.

Almost snagged a wall mount coil compressor... was too slow

And that is cool....

 

I keep seeing decent deals and keep getting very tempted.

 

We use this at work. We have it mounted to the wall.

$905 Branick 7600 Strut Spring Compressor

https://www.amazon.com/Branick-7600...mzn1.fos.2b70bf2b-6730-4ccf-ab97-eb60747b8daf

 

Yep. Almost snagged one, was too slow.
Plan is to grab one, and a make a stand for it. I live close enough to @crashngiggles I could either leave it there, or leave it in a place here, he could snag it if needed.

Then, we all have access to a proper tool

 

I'd toss $50 at a communal spring compressor. I may get one myself depending on how rebuilding my shocks goes and offer rebuilds for people.

 

You should make it slide into a receiver hitch.

 

Good excuse to buy a lift...

 

Maybe we can all chip in?

 

That compressor looks so much less sketchy than my setup… Haven't touched mine since setting my preload for the bp-51s and really don't want to use it again.

 

Setup worked better than expected. Now I have bumper materials and will have SCS make the plate parts.

 

Good news, the bender made a nice clean bend.

Spoiler: Bad news, it cant do another

Time for air over hydro setup

 

Or this guy

 

@Chasespeed I also picked up some 2x2 if you want to do this and want some.

 

No thanks, I have some. In fact... I MIGHTZ(SHOULD) still have something banging around that I used as a pipe vise mount...

 

Exactly what I got this for. Vise, tubing bender, and tube notcher mounts.

 

Just wish I had a building here, that I could work out of.

I might cave in, and start selling stuff off, especially after I get this diesel sold. It's just collecting dust...

Then again, I toy with hanging on to the truck, just to finish it... and then, start getting creative.. but.. no real place to wheel a FULL size truck up in this part of the country....

I can put that money somewhere else useful....

 

I am so glad tiff and I ended up where we did. Like there is pros and cons but having a big and dry space to work out of is just great. I get the creativity part I have the design all done with mine and will be building it soon. Like buying a bumper would be cheaper at this point... But I always see little things I don't like.

And yeah a DCLB tacoma is big for these trails...

 

This is bad ass what you guys do for your community up there. Jelly we don't have anything like this is SoCal to my knowledge.

 

Come by for a mod day. You have 10 days at least to make the drive . Lawrence is a great place

 

I did make it to New York in 52 hours before, but that was definitely not in my Tacoma let alone a vehicle that I owned... Shss don't tell Enterprise.
