Los Angeles Wrenchathon - Sunday 5/23
Well, I've got some new parts coming my way, and I sure do need some help with the install. I've already talked to BruceTS, and he was nice enough to agree to host the wrenchathon at his place (Granada Hills). The more help, the merrier. Here's what's on the agenda..
Install/Replace:
- Donahoe Racing Coilovers
- Camburg Engineering Uni-Ball Upper A-Arms
- Kartek Replacement Inner CV boots on both front axles
- Front Diff Drop
Additionally, if there's time and we're up for it, installing/replacing:
- Panhard Drop
- Front Swaybar Bushings
- 2 Front Shackle Hangers
So if you're free next Sunday, come on down and join the fun and hang out with some YotaTechies. Naturally, food and
on me. I appreciate the help.
PM me for directions.

Heck if enough people show up, we can make it a clean up my garage-a-thon as well 
I'll have to get with Charles on exactly what time he wants to start, to do the A-Arms and coilovers won't take long at all, but the rest we'll see...

Don't want to speak too soon though.
Next week 10am, hmmm
I'll have to get back to you guys. Not that I can help in any way other than tool-monkey but the experience would be cool.

Picked up the 'hoes and camburgs tonight.
Looking forward to Sunday...
BTW, I'll soon have some 2.5" cornfed spacers and 2002 4wd front springs up for sale. I'll make a thread about it later.

Ok, yesterday I actually cleaned up a bit in my garage, so it'll be easier to get around. Charles, I'll be moving my boat out of the driveway, so just go ahead and park there when you show up.

much stiffer, much better. gonna wait a week for the springs to settle, then adjust accordingly. i can't wait to test these out on some trails. and especially at pismo.

Looked good today Charles. Nice looking setup.
It was nice seeing you guys too. Nice trucks all.
Also, Charles, way to get under the truck and get dirty yourself!!
Next, update the sig.
