DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

i be there.. may be lil late

 

Boom and Boom!

Well just going to have to see when the new rear end gets delivered and go from there on seeing who could help me install it.

 

I'm at about 85% of being there. I'll know before the end of the night if its for sure or not.

 

Your install is going to be a lot harder than what me and @rpkole did. We left everything attached to the axles so it relatively simple.

 

Can one of yall with a 2017 model tell me what the date is on your navigation sd card version? Its in the options tab once youre on the nav home screen. Mine says map version 05-35-51 2015-05-1

 

Just ran out and checked mine for you. I got my 17 from the first batch of delivery's to dealers last Aug and my Nav version is the same as yours, 05-35-51 2015-05-1.

 

So in theory, that should be the most useless.....i mean updated one.

 

u comin? fenders?

Anyone wanna buy my glass fenders? they will need professionally repainted, I got them for free but would like to recoup what ive spent thus far to repair some damage.

 

I tried using the nav 1 time a month after I got it. told it to take me home from my first trip to see if it was any good. I alos ran GMaps or waze at the same time on my phone. My phone tole me I was around 10-12 hrs away coming from the 4 corners area(AZ, UT, NM, CO) and my truck told me I was 18 hrs away... It tried taking me way out of the way into OK to get home adding 6 hrs to the drive. I turned off the sound to the nav in the truck and followed the phone app and the entire time the trucks Nav would never change to the faster route. The drive only took me 11-12 hrs going by my phones directions. I turned that crap off in the truck and have only used my phone since.

Some time before I go to bed around 9-10. Been up since 3a and been waiting all week on a call to see if I need to be available and if so when I need to be available. I'm going to try and work it around the meet so that I can attend.

Whats he need fenders for? Doesnt he have glass already. I thought it was @Naveronski that wanted to buy them from you.

 

nah i need @Steawy27 stock fenders, and i want to sell my glass

 

ahh that makes more sense. Wait what do you need another set of stock fenders for?

 

Yep. I went to Fort Worth Wednesday night to pick up that sr5 grill from @gulzeb. I didnt double check the location before I left. GPS is set to quickest route. It took me 121 => 183 => 820 =>35w then north to his area (Not far south of the Buccees we met at for Bridgeport). At 5:30 that trip took 1 hour 38 minutes. The return trip home straight north up 35w to FM1171 into Lewisville took 28 minutes.

 

I will be there, don't know anyone though guess I will just look for the trucks, everyone meeting outside in parking lot or inside the brew somewhere?

 

It will be the group of shifty looking dudes in the corner

 

Also true, that is why I am going to be providing food and plenty of beer for people to drink that want to help with the install or just sit around and talk shit while 2 people work...

 

I'll be there for sure. Finally found out I'll be free all day.

You'll be able to find us either way. If you get there at 12 you can just look for someone to pull in and know who to say hi to.

I'm pretty good at drinking and telling people what a shitty job they are doing without lifting a finger myself. Its all I do at work now just without the alcohol.

 

If @Zac of all trades is getting yours it might be easier to just pull yours all the way out and stuff it under his truck then use his axle for all the donor parts for your new axle.

 

I should be there tomorrow as well pending seeing my buddies schedule, but I believe we are meeting up tonight.

As to the NAV, glad I dont have the full NAV package and have to rely on the shitty linked app to my base entune unit... The map is fucking horrible, but at least it matched the route that google maps offered. I will most likely just use google maps as soon as my Hondo Garage phone mount shows up.

 

I should be there at noon or just before probably hanging out in the parking lot until others show up.
@Zac of all trades Do we need to reserve space/tables at this place? If I show up early I can let them know a big group is coming.

Totally true, he supervised @Geremy and @cuda2k on their lifts.
