Are you doing the fronts or the backs?

And what time on Sunday? I might be able to come help out.

sorry man she's in lubbock. im in town for the tech/baylor game + fall break. 5 hours is a bitch without cruise, a/c, a speedometer, or a stereo. i made that drive once already, taking her out there. and while i was miserable the entire time. it was the most fun drive of my entire life.

decided to go for comfort on this trip tho.

Struts have been picked up for a pretty decent price at Freeman Mazda, 137 each.

Going to try and find an electric impact wrench on top of the spring compressor.

my dad worked with a guy 10 years ago that went and pulled the nut off the shock without putting a spring compressor on first, you would be surprised how how those things can go into the air lol.

Hey guys would it be bad to ask for it to be at my house? Long story short is my car stalled on the highway, couldnt get it started, so i towed it back to my house. Lol I have work until 5 so if y'all want to leave it at Bullits house thats chill, I might be able to get off early but thats doubtful so if yall want to come over before I get here thats cool, but I just can't drive the extra 5 miles to get there lol. So after I help with the install party (need a ride) I need help getting it going so if after 5 if some of y'all want to migrate down to my house that's cool, I dont live far from Bullits, like 5 minutes or so. If not no worries, just thought I'd throw that out there

Man, B, that sux. You know what's wrong? I'm fine with whatever. Probably meeting up with you later. I'd hate for someone to miss the messages here and show up to my empty house. PM me your address.

Joe, I'll PM you.

Yeah, I've got a hose. You'll have to bring your own water, though.
