|
oh man i would have been over there so quick with pizza and a lot of amber dos x!

lol
|
cmon somebody help this guy!

Do you have a place to do it? We could do it at my office (covered and flat surface) on a weekend but I need to get my spring compressor from my dad or you can buy it at harbor freight. Its a few hour job but we can knock it out no problem, I have all the hand tools we just need good jackstands and a jack. But for the 150 you were gonna spend you can buy that.

OR you can rent one from autozone

O.o
|
i have a flat covered driveway but my dads friend actually came and took the jackstands this morning :banghead:
|
I don't know how much of a hurry you are in but I can probably get my compressor and my stands from my dad next week but he lives in Waco. Jigga and I swapped mid pipes and it went well but we didn't have stands or a real good jack. but dude I'm sure we can dig up stands and a decent jack.
Spring installs are a piece of cake. We can make a mod day of it, I need to install my new rotors and pads. |
well i was looking to get it done today lol, but if we can make a mod day of it next weekend im up for it!

|

|
yeah dude DIY. wit 150 thats like a party in Dozers driveway. you'd only spend 50 for food and booze. drunken DIYs are awesome!
|
^hell yeah!!! the installs at my house are always fun and full of drunken shenanigans....calling ATILLA post ur youtube videos of the drunk install at my house
|
So you mean the 13th then right? I am changing out my alternator tomorrow but that will only take a second. We could do it at my office but there can't be any shenanigans for liability reasons.
Check it out. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=43753 or: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=45860 |
ya sorry didnt specify, i did mean the 13th. ^^those look nice but i dont know if i want to buy one and then rarely use it. but i will be buying some tokico d specs soon so it might be worth it. hmmm decisions...
|
Yeah I have used mine twice but my dad and I do a lot of off roading and so I have used it a few times on other peoples vehicles. But I got divorced and so all my tools are at my fathers shop until I get a house with a garage again.
|
Okay I did everything this weekend except my brakes. So I will doing just my front rotors and pads since I have not received my rears and won't by this weekend.
