Big Jay East Bay Mod Day-March 11th

In! Won't have my truck, so I'll just be there to drink. Maybe drunken wrenching.

"Eehhtss fackkin' rhiitsey tihhhtsy, hiccup, rhiight???"

 

It's ok, it's my excuse to drink too

 

When is this shin dig Starting?

 

I'll probably start the meat around 6, then nap. Maybe around 8 would work.

 

Am?! Lol sheesh that works tho, the lady is dragging me to an engagement party thing in the afternoon.

 

If I get my spindles back in time anyone game to swap out front spindles?

 

Would anybody be interested in helping, that has experience, with suspension? Icon UCA, coilovers and rear shocks. Also all-pro leafs. I'm not sure how long it would take. Assuming a few hours. Should have everything I need. Front diff kit, extending brake line, new sway bar bushings. It's been sitting on my floor for 2.5 months now.

 

I can help.

 

What tools do you think we would need, I live really close to the OP so I can bring most of my stuff. But anything special?

 

Wrenches, Sockets, a hammer, etc. Pretty much everything you know you'll need, you should bring. Maybe bring a sawzall to cut your exhaust off.

@Tee Arghhhhhh Dee do you have an air compressor and impact driver?

 

I have most of that, i have a 18v lithium impact drive, will that do the trick? What you say the time frame will be to do the whole thing?

 

That would work. Should only take a few hours for the install.

 

Nope, just hand tools.

 

Gotcha

 

If I can make it I'll bring my front end service kit and a few tools. Not sure if I can make it though.

The Bay Area is kind of a drive for me, especially when I have no mods to do lol

 

I'd bring a grinder too in case any bolts are stuck. my rear suspension top bolts were stuck so I cut through the shaft, made it go a lot quicker than fighting with it and stripping out. Sometimes the rear leaf bolts get stuck too. But my truck was probably worse than most as it saw some salt in its lifetime.

 

I may have a compressor by next week as well, been on my list of things to pick up.

 

I can bring jack stands, basic tools, and a few 1/2" drive cordless impact wrenches.

 

In. Not sure what I'll be doing but I'll figure something out. Also I can bring 5 gallon buckets for used oil and dispose of it for everyone.

 

Can this be a maintenance day too? Need to do my timing belt and water pump lol
