I'm curious, any Bay Area 3rd Genners in need of replacing their upper ball joints? I have this nice OTC balljoint kit with all the necessary adapters but neither my truck or Sean's needs new upper balljoints right now.

Sean and I work for cheap, IPA's and Lunch. You will however have to be willing to let us video the job and you will have a small part in the video. Don't worry, you won't have to memorize any lines or wear make-up (unless that's your thing).

Let us know.

So, after hosting my first 3rd Gen Get-Together, I'd have to say it was a pretty cool day. The TBU for Jay went pretty good for the most part. Jay wanted to replace a couple rear brake lines and one of the brake line connections was welded on there. We came up with a fix, but that delayed things a bit for us. Then, because of my screw-up of not tightening the brake line connection enough to the front passenger brake caliper we were wondering why the brakes still felt soft after bleeding them. Well, we were loosing pressure due to the connection leaking. After tightening the connection and re-bleeding the brakes, his brakes felt great and we were finally done.

The next job we were suppose to do was an upper control arm and spring replacement for [MENTION=94292]Patriot12[/MENTION]. But, I somehow didn't get the memo he has a 5th Gen, not a 3rd Gen. We started the job late in the day and immediately ran into some issues getting the lower shock bolt loose and then realized there was too much pressure on the bolt. The KDSS system added some confusion to the whole thing so we chose to quit on this job until we have the right information and more time to get the job done right. Sorry Paul. I wish we could have knocked this out for you, but I'm glad I met you and hopefully we can help you get this done in the near future.

I know I was busy wrenching and didn't get as much time as I would have liked to hang out with Y'all, but everyone who showed up seemed very cool and you are definitely invited back to my place the next time I host another meet-up.

Here's my thoughts for the next one. I think it would be better if we just focus on one repair or mod for the day. This way if there's something that hangs us up, which there's usually something that does, we won't be pressed for time and stressing about getting to the next rig. What do you guys think about this?

Anyways, great meeting Y'all.

Thanks for hosting us Tim. It was a great day to meet you all and I hope to do it again soon!

I definitely agree on what you said above with one repair for the day, unless they were both pretty simple. I guess we could also have done more than one at a time if we had enough people willing to wrench on them.

Hey Mark, it was cool doing some wrenching with you today on Paul's 5th Gen. I learned some new things from you. And, thanks for being part of the Toyota Time show with Timmy the Toolman. You're going to be famous!

What interior LED you use ?
I got some sylvania's from O'riellys but they are no where near as bright as I thought or would like. Haha.

I like his front bumper. Do you know what kind it is?

It's the Savage Off-road hybrid winch bumper. They also make one for non winch. I just received their hybrid rear bumper and just finished getting it powder coated. Will install it soon with pics. His work is awesome IMHO and I already use his Sliders. Welcome to Savage Off-Road - 4WD Accessories for 4Runners
