    I just used my dremel for this one. Kind of made a mess but it was easy. Takes like 10 minutes for everything. If anyone else is interested I can pick up some locks and help whoever wants one.

    Yeah I know right. It cost me $240 to ship all my suspension parts up here. Ammoguy and myself were going to do the pop&lock tailgate but shipping was not worth it.

    There is no set time for the burger burn. I would imagine some where around noon

    I'll be there. I don't have any mods planned but I can help with others. Unless anyone knows where I can get HID bulbs in Anc. I already have the ballasts. I want to mod my fogs to come on anytime. Anyone here do that? I'm on my iPod right now and searching the forum would be an rediculously time consuming. Not sure what time cuz I have to get some crap done around the house before I drive up? What do you want me to bring for the burger burn?

    ^ I did the fog mod. You need a "quick splice" that you can get at radio shack (i think) or shucks. Not sure about lowes/home depot. Other than that, I have extra wiring and electrical tape, that's all you need ;).

    @420, thanks, just went and picked up the drill bit and the lock cylinder.

    I'll be able to stay for a couple hours, can bring paper plates or cups if needed. Can also pick up some chips and salsa of some sort. Any suggestions on what to get?

    It's Ben but that's okay. The UCA bolt on the driver side was even harder than the other side. Had to remove the battery to get it out. It was also kind of tough getting it back in. There were some fuel lines in the way. Got is finished though. Rides a lot better. Going to finish up the rear tomorrow. I am sure that it will go a lot smoother with the rear. Don't have any pics because it was dark when we finished.

We need to get make a day to go driving on some trails. If anyone has any ideas, let me know. I would love to get to see more of Alaska in my Taco.

    I had fun and agree with Ben the uca bolt was kind of gay to get in and out. Will be fun to do it again sometime

    Yea thanks for hosting! It was nice to show up and meet everyone and see their rides. Hopefully next time I can stay longer and put on a lift!

    I'm not really sure of any trails up here. Could go up to jim's creek or maybe somewhere by eklutna. But I am definitely down to go, just need to buy a tow rope.
