6/21/13 NORCAL Meet & Greet - Habit Burger Grill, Pleasanton, CA

Bring it. We can do it in the parking lot before dinner

 

Haha I wish. If only they were that easy

 

It could be. I got c02 and air gun. All we need is a jack and some stands. Lol

 

Wouldn't it take a while though? I'm doing OME- 886 with Dakars

 

I'll be honest I'd rather do it with you guys than down in SoCal.... But not my call.

 

I wish being a racing mechanic isn't the kinda job you want to call in sick. And besides I'll be in Florida which isn't all that bad either.

But if you guys are installing a lift in the parking lot, I've got loads of battery powered tools...this may be worth quitting my job for...

 

Hmm power tools I'll be honest, I'm an amateur when it comes to lifts, but beer or whatever people would like could be on me; as a thank you

 

I think all of us have done at least one lift. Should be a piece of cake...if anyone asks, we are repairing a flat tire

 

So should I actually plan on this? I don't wanna put all the pressure on people. If not it is totally fine. But if we could that would be awesome. I'm getting TC UCA, OME kit with 886 & Dakars....

 

Hmmm. The UCAs add a bit of complexity.

 

Not sure if the place will be stoked on it, but off site I'm sure everyone can get it done. I agree the UCA's might cause some issues and take longer.

 

So what should I do?

 

If you can get it done for free down south I'd say do that because people get caught up or bail on these type of things as it gets closer. Wouldn't want you to end up not getting it done, but it's your choice and some of the guys may be commit to doing it. I'll help if you do it, but don't count on me as things do come up.

 

Okay I will try to do that next weekend. Thanks for the help though. I appreciate it.

 

I hadn't thought about the whole parking lot thing. If it was at a place like Dave & Busters that had a huge lot, probably wouldn't be such a big deal.
I have no idea about where we're going.

Anyway, I'm sure if you're anywhere in the Bay Area, we could rustle up some peeps to help you out. Plus, it's an awesome way to learn about your truck too.

The biggest issue with the UCA's, well there are two issues, is the bolt. So long as there's another person, it's not a big deal. The second is alignment. The best thing to do is swap everything and drive around for 10 or 20 miles before aligning the front end.

 

Well I'm up at Beale afb, so the Bay Area isn't that far. I just don't know of anyone up here with tools. I've only been here for 3 months. But yeah I don't know enough about them to work on it myself. We have a shop on base with lifts and everything, but again I don't know how to do it. I really don't wanna take it to a shop and pay.

 

Damn, dude, too bad we don't have a mod day goin, no kidding, all that stuff could be done then, me and Jberry swapped my front struts, from wheels up to wheels down in about a half hour.

 

Let's make a point to chat at the meet. We'll figure something out.
