Official Bay Area MOD/MEET/GREET Thread

[MarkamisPrime]

Ok, let's try to do this then. We'll have to find a weekend day that will work since most people do the Monday thru Friday grind. I could get the smoker going and I've got a propane BBQ available as well.

I guess who wants to do what ?
What's your schedule look like ?
@ patriot12 is in Monterrey he drove to me in Napa so this works out for him.
I'll text him and tell him to get in on this

I never have the same days off since I'm on a firefighter schedule. Right now I've been working a shitload of overtime so very few days off. Looking ahead, I have December 3rd and 4th off (Sat / Sun). I'll check with [MENTION=102606]infamousRNR[/MENTION] (aka Sean) and see if either of those days work for him.

Let me know if one or both of those days work for you guys as well. Others can join in as well.

[Snowden]

Dec 3 / 4

Might work for me and I'd like to meet some local enthusiast's. I may not have a current project to do but happy to lend a hand and meet folks. Put a tool list out if you need anything you don't have I can bring along if I have it. Actually now that I think about it maybe I'll have my new Savage bumper ready to put on by then... that would be sweet.

:dancin:

 

[MarkamisPrime]

I am currently on maternity leave haha so those days should work for me too.

Bay Area Mod Day @ Timmy the Toolman's House

Just heard from Sean and he has Dec 4th off. So, let's do it Sunday, Dec 4th.

What are the Mods/Repairs you dudes want to do? There's only so much room. One rig in the garage, a couple in the driveway and maybe use the court for a couple more.

For food, we could do a potluck of sorts. Smoking usually takes a while so maybe I can make up some burgers and marinate up some chicken and tri-tip. You guys could bring some side dishes and dessert. Everyone can bring their favorite beverage and maybe some to share as well.

How's this sound?

For the breather mod, I found it easiest to break the upper plastic grommets that hold the plastic fill tube cover on because it's pretty much impossible to get in there with a tool to release those upper grommets. The lower two grommets are easy to release with a pair of pliers. You want that plastic cover completely off so you can easily zip tie the breather line up the fill tube.

Here's the part number for the grommets: #90189-06212
They are $1.75/each and you'll need two.

I have some OME coils and TC UCAs to get installed- Mark ([MENTION=2533218]MarkamisPrime[/MENTION] previously put in my 5100s and rear OME.

Also you guys wouldn't happen to know any good alignment shops after these parts go in and are open on Sundays would you? Big O looks to be closed on Sundays...

Excited to do a T4R Friendsgiving. I will bring some pies and some drinks as well.

 

[phokingchink]

I'm free Dec 4th as well! I'll bring some eggrolls and some asian noodles and of course beer. Just post the time and place and I'm there! :naughty:

tbu, toytec lift and 2inch body lift, adjustable panhard (not sure what route I want to end up with but at least with adjustable, if I don't like it I can always upgrade to the bracket but you can't go back since it requires welding)

Wow major job here.
Lift kit is easy but body lifts are a chore

Ok Dudes,

The meeting time will be as early as 9am. If you plan on doing some work, it would be best to get an early start in case you run into any snags. If you just want to come over to share some food and tasty beverages and talk trucks, show up whenever you want. I figured I'd get the grill going around noon and we'd eat around 1pm. Remember to bring some type of side dish to share and BYOB.

If it looks like rain is in the forecast, that will change things quite a bit. We will only be able to concentrate on one rig at a time because that's all that my garage can hold. But, we can still drink beer, eat some good grub, and talk about sick mods, so it won't be a complete loss.

If you are doing work, bring tools, jack stands, hydraulic jack and whatever else you need. I have lots of tools to share, (4) 6 ton jacks, (2) 3 ton jacks, (1) hydraulic jack, bottle jack, 20 ton press, torque wrenches, cordless impacts, spring compressors, etc, etc, etc. In regards to tools, the only thing I ask is please know what's yours and what's somebody else's and make sure you don't accidentally leave with somebody else's shit. I'll also have the FSM for people to reference.

For those that have shown interest, I'll send you a PM with my address. If I miss anyone, PM me and I'll respond back.

 

[Snowden]

Sunday the 4th

Sounds great and looking forward to meeting you guys. I got your pm with address Tim thanks. The mods going on sound great. I won't be doing one myself but I'll be happy to watch, learn and help where I can. I'll bring some side dish and drinks, some soda and beer. Probably will firm up with you all later in the week so we know the weather, etc. Tim how many guys are you up to so far?

I've PM'd 9 members with my address so far. With Sean and myself, that's 11 if everyone who's shown interest shows up.

I don't have many tools but I will bring what I have and make up for it in food/drinks!

Your moniker is hilarious. But I can't figure out if you are Vietnamese, Chinese, or just plain racist lol. I guess we'll find out next weekend but if it's the latter then we need to keep you away from beer and guns haha.....

Yea i watched the video you made on this. I was thinking if theres another way to route the hose without taking that upper plastic piece off but ill order those plastic grommets just in case.
