    Looks like y'all had a good time!

    I had an absolute garbage day at work :bananadead:



    Glad you made it home safe @Twizted brake work and then a 100+ mile drive home into the mountains.

    @essjay s truck looked good, got to peep it when he dropped on my oil and grease gun.

    I did retorque my ubolts last night, they needed some turns so im glad i did that lol
    everything else seemed to still be to spec, except i couldnt find my 15mm so i think i left it at your place Matt.
    Oddly, the 3 top plate bolts that came from OME on Chris's truck are 14mm, mine are 15mm :notsure:

    What kind of 15mm am I looking for? I'm planning on really cleaning and re-organizing the garage today (after a few more cups of coffee). If it's there I'll find it.

    (will also have an eye out for @Sharkfrog 17mm deep socket)

    Pittsburgh, shallow/normal sized, 3/8 drive 15mm


    Ive worked my last weekend until mid-july, so hopefully we can get some spring trips in, or more mod days!

    Ive got the same brake lines that Rob did yesterday sitting behind me and a gas tank sled to install whenever i get around to it.
    Its about to be trout season @Pella i know you were wanting to fill up some stringers.

    We should plan a 209 fishing/camping trip around early june.

    maybe a conversation for the 209BS thread not the mod day lol

    @Sharkfrog I found your 17mm socket. Still looking for your 15mm @Motofox. Didn't get as much done cleaning the garage as I wanted to yesterday.

    @essjay's mods obviously took the longest, and that's apparently what Tiffany got most the pictures of.
    Here's about 50% of them for you to pick through:

    Once one TC skid was done, then @Sharkfrog's didn't take too long, but here's a pic of it:
