Sounds like a plan.

faith&firepower 06-10-2009 10:04 AM

Most of the parts are looking like the 16th to be here. The shocks / struts are shipping next monday from somewhere on the west coast....I hope they get here by friday!

I was thinking, if anyone needs an oil change, get the things you need and we can hammer it out in 15-20 min.

RawrX8 06-10-2009 10:55 AM

I assume they dont have a spring compressor in your base garage so ill be bringing mine down. Hmm torque wrenches? Impact gun?

Just go buy a small can of WD-40 and some blue Lock tight liquid or paste stick form either way. Lots of beer and pizza. :chomper:

dondo 06-10-2009 11:34 AM

maybe we can install my midpipe if i get it in time..

faith&firepower 06-10-2009 02:11 PM

I know they have impacts and I think they have a spring compressor, im 80ish % sure. Bring your stuff either way. I figured that once we get done, we can go out the gate to the close by ferreli's pizza place and eat / drink there. We can't drink and work in the base garage...sucks, but we can figure something out.

Thats fine. Buy ill be there for sure wrenching away. This be a good chance for Mike to see how to install his own spring/struts/coilovers too.

Great. Doesnt look like ill be getting my rear swaybar in on time. But ill install my front bar anyways while im there. Just wont be railing corners till I get the rear. Dont feel like plowing snow.

Anijo 06-14-2009 12:22 AM

I'll try and show up, we'll see, I might be busy next weekend.

Anijo 06-14-2009 11:02 PM

Hmmm... there's a ProSolo that day... >_>

dondo 06-15-2009 01:41 AM

so depending on timing, i may have to bail out on this. best friend is getting married and his bachelors party was scheduled for sat. (just found out today)

faith&firepower 06-15-2009 01:55 AM

Im thinking early am....it opens at 8am. If everything gets here on time I think we could be done by noon.

faith&firepower 06-18-2009 01:17 AM

Who is still in to help me?? Most of the parts will be in tomorrow!!! I will snap a few pics. Still waiting on the main part....the shocks/struts. Apparently they were shipped from Cali on Monday but I never got a tracking #. I pray that they are in by friday otherwise this isn't going to happen. I will keep all informed that want to lend a hand and use the lifts.

RawrX8 06-18-2009 07:56 AM

Ill be there.

Anijo 06-18-2009 09:00 AM

So what time and where? What do I need to get on base?

faith&firepower 06-18-2009 10:29 AM

Im thinking since it opens at 8am, we meet up outside of the main gate at 7:30. I can get coffee and breakfast foods if anyone wants it. This is all depending on what comes in today's packages or tomorrow's. By 9pm tomorrow I will know if this is a go or not. Im still praying that its all here today.

RawrX8 06-18-2009 12:27 PM

Make it like 9ish cause I dont feel like waking up at 5am to come down :tear:

dondo 06-18-2009 12:41 PM

^ you can just miss breakfast

HAHA yeah I can get you a big red bull. I was talking to the shop workers (the ones who I pay to get me tools) and they said 9am is when things pick up and they can't hold a spot for me. we can push back 30 min prob. though. So 8:30 exit 120 ft lewis, don't take the North fort lewis exit, go down another 500 or so ft to take the big turn.



I got 3 boxes today. Front sway, springs, end links, and F&R strut/shock tower braces. Still waiting on the shocks and struts. Pics tonight!

RawrX8 06-18-2009 01:57 PM

Shocks and struts same thing :p

Thats fine 830. I guess it really doesnt matter ill prob be there on time. Im just going to throw a bitch fit cause I hate waking up.
