    I'm a for sure in. I have several mods we can do, if we feel up to it and have the time.

    1. For sure want to do the Kings coilovers on the front.
    2. Snorkel is a possible, still need to get some minor things to go with it for the install. Do we want to try to do this?
    3. Extended brake lines.
    4. Carrier bearing on driveshaft.

    As long as we do the King's I'm a happy camper, but the others are mods I have sitting here waiting to be done haha.

    I really should extend my brake lines also. Might see about quick shipment.

    I've never once in my life dealt with brake lines so I have 0 idea how to do it lol. That's one thing I need to do as well, would like for it to be second priority I guess after my Kings.

    I would like to swap my lower ball joints first and then do the UCAs if we have time, right now replacing failed parts is more important that upgrading a part that has no problems. If I could do them both at the same time would be really nice!

    I'll try to at least drop by and say hello. I'm very interested in seeing the King install, so I know what I'm getting into in a few weeks.

    My Daughter (12) is testing for her Black Belt and my son (6) is testing for Senior Blue Belt, both in Tae Kwon Do on Saturday.

    UCAs are easy, honestly. We can for sure do those while you have everything taken apart to do your ball joints.

    2 PITA bolts, but yes, only 2 haha. The longest part of the work is simply getting everything taken apart to get to them, imo.

    Dave and I did his brake lines not to long ago. Messy, but easy enough.

    I have enough experience with the 2 PITA bolts that they aren't really PITA anymore. The key is rolling the fender weld and removing the wire harnesses.

    Well if we could do my brake lines as well as yours that would be good. What all do I need, obviously the lines...and brake fluid. how much brake fluid?

    That is awesome with the kids. I tried to get mine interested when she was little, but she didn't bite.

    Sounds good. Not sure our start time, but we have a decent list of work on the list that we should be at it for a while. I'll add you as a possible. I'll send location information in a pm as we get closer to the time.

    We recycled what we captured during purge back into the system. Only took a few ounces to top up what we lost from the brake line replacement.

    Wouldn't hurt to get a small bottle. My bottle has been open for a little while and it absorbs water which is not good for brake fluid. Not sure if it really impacts it, but for the price, why worry.

    I have one box fan. It definitely wouldn't hurt to have a few more if you guys have one.

    I think I can make it for a couple of hours in the afternoon.

    Sorry, I don't have a fan.
