I have some ratchets/ratcheting wrenches/breaker bar and other random things I can bring. I also have two jack stands.

Foodtown grocery stores has the chicken leg quarters for 39 cents/lb from Today till next Tuesday. So if a few of you bring a bag or two?

If the weather is not too cold ( 50s and above) I will be there.

Will try to see what MODS I can get done.

4 footwell lights
5 puddle lights

that's a lot of work for just one afternoon, swapping the suspension alone takes around 4-5 hours.

1 10lb bag of chicken should work.

and myrador as for your mod list:
footwells and puddlelights arent hard. puddle lights took me 1hr45mins and footwells should take like 15minutes.

also i have an ipod dock im selling, ill show it to you if you come. the ipod mounts into the din.

Were you trying to squeeze the clamps by hand or with pliers?

Hmm...I'll show you which one it is then. I don't remember having trouble picking the right thing of wires, I just remember having trouble squeezing the vampire clips tight enough to get a connection.
