Denver area guys maintenance/upgrade Saturday 2013 edition

EDIT THREAD ON THURSDAY 9/12 5pm-EVENT CANCELLED DUE TO FLOODING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD


I'm glad to host another Saturday maintenance/upgrade meet and greet get together for 3rd gen owners in Denver metro area.

In the past we've done some basic maintenance issues and some mild lifts.

If you're an auto tranny guy and never done the radiator replacement (to prevent the strawberry milkshake issue) this would be an opportune time to have it done.

I'm in the Commerce City area- near Mile High Flea market and should have all the basic hand tools we would need, jack stands, etc.- 2 car garage with virtually everything Harbor Freight sells....Checker err O'Reilly's, Advance Auto and AUtozone all within a mile of the house.

I'm picturing this for later in August or mid September. Starting up crack of dawn before the day gets too hot. Hope to be done by 3 or so to share an adult beverage or 3.

Let me know what you need done and we'll likely tackle it that day.

Out of staters-you're welcome as well!

Count me in, I'm in Idaho Springs and would love to help out and maybe get some stuff done on my 4R as well!

Bump-shooting for Saturday Sept 14th

Thinking of doing a power steering flush and rear control arm skids just ordered, whatever else Thor999 needs.

cancelled due to rain!

Well my neighborhood is basically not accessible with steady rains since Monday.

Going to have to cancel this year's event.

I'll get in touch with each of you that emailed privately about it.

Sorry to do this-was hoping it would get better by now but Lake Kenwood is forming one block to the west, and the major roads are all closed off except to local residents.

wish I were closer for get-togethers like this...

anyway, I hope you don't sustain any flood damage to your home - stay safe and dry!

This would be a cool event, I can show up just let me know if you re-schedule it. Flooding is definitely bad in the Denver-Metro area, no doubt.

I've been practicing my water-fording technique. I'm pretty sure my office in Boulder is under water right now :/

That 9-5 you saw the other day decided it wanted to breath water, so the purchase of a ~00 3rd gen is imminent this week.

I thought all of this sounded awfully familiar after I saw your avatar, then Andy and Greg's rigs.

Whoa, didn't expect to see you here You should get one with a locker and a supercharger and lets go put some dents in it!

 

[Twan]

Going to look at a '00 SR5 with an ARB bumper and OME lift later today, so it should be sooner rather than later.

Didn't end up with the ARB one, but I do now have a '00 SR5 sport with the locker.
