PRS Mod Day #5 Feb 26th.

Seth, If possible can I start on my cab mount chop as soon as I get there?

 

I'm bringing my grinder so if Seth's is being used you can use mine first thing in the morning.

 

Sure... I cut mine with the sawzall but I have the cutting disks for the angle grinder now so, i would use that for better control. I Have plenty of 2" steel, which is what i used to replate mine.

 

I might need to use some of that steel for my shock mounts. I bought flat mounts for my uppers and ended up getting a round tube from Timcha when i was in Organ checking out my bumper.

 

^ yeah I would like to use some too if there is enough...

 

I will double check this evening, but I'm pretty sure I have plenty.

 

dont forget I AM a fabricator so I have access to a ton of steel if someone needs little plates or something. And I'll probably be bringing one of my grinders down as well.

 

is there any negatives to chopping the mount?

 

depends on who you ask. If it is plated back up, it should be just as strong as original. I do know there are several FJ guys who have simply cut the whole end off the body mount and sprayed it with paint. Never plated it back up. I have see pix from a couple guys who have run theirs like this for 3 years including wheeling, but if you have the means to plate it back up it is better for piece of mind. In the end though, unless you plan to run 35"s on a 3" lift then there is no need to do this.

 

anyone have some spider wheel spacers for sale? might need em

 

so here is how its looking so far.

At first

Black CX will be in the garage

NightStr and Jlee will be in the driveway

Shemicals will be in front of the house.

Chachie will be in front of the driveway.

All others will need to find parking up and down the street. there are couple empty houses, but park at them at your own risk. I will let people know which ones are empty. People doing gauges and BHLMs can bring their stuff down from wherever they find parking.

I'm going to be pretty busy with Gauges, so I will be relying on the more experienced guys to help out in the garage and steer the newcomers in the right direction.

 

Sounds good nice to have a plan

 

Do u want me to bring another jack so we can do more suspension work at once or should we only do it in the garage to not bug your neighbors too much.

 

We will stick to the garage. The driveway isn't level, so we cant really work there. I think we will be fine for that anyways.

 

Felipe, is your bumper going to be prepainted? or will you be trying to paint it?

 

Yeah there is only 2 of us doing suspensions right?

 

Well, if there is time i believe we will be doing Jacobs... I don't see why there would be an issue. we should easily be able to squeeze him in.

 

It's pre painted. I just need to install.

 

Very good! the "paint booth" will be pretty busy with BHLMs.

 

Is there anyway someone can help me weld my rear bumper to the beakers and also some shackle mounts? I haven't had time to take it in.
