This friday Im gonna utilize the auto hobby shop on post and install all those upgrades Ive had sitting in the garage for weeks. If anyone wants to come down and help, hang out or eat some free pizza please feel free. They have are tools and lifts there so I figure its worth the $3 an hour. Im gonna order some lunch there too, hopefully I will be done by 1 and starting at 8am (but we will see how it goes)

So if you can you should come on down, at least for a slice of pizza

 

Sorry gonna be outta town this weekend. Is this on base?

 

Im workin all weekend otherwise I would be there in a heartbeat... same question as ^^

 

Yeah its on base unfortuanetly, but if anyone off post is interested I can get you on... but Im not sure about if they let vehicles in. I cant see why they wouldnt I would just have to get a visitors pass I think. But if anyone wants to join we could meet and ride with me

 

Hate to tell you this but they don't open till 1300.

Yesterday, erik (wannagojeep) and I set out to utilize the auto hobby shop on post to install another inch of lift on my rig. We had to take off the old shocks, coils and trac bar in the front and replace the shackles in the rear. The trac bar wouldnt budge for about 4 hours, We soaked it in liquid wrench breaker bars I mean we tried everything. Then we tried the most simple thing we could think of, turning the wrench to the left instead of the right. I have never been so mad as I was when we realized we were going the wrong direction. But oh well, after that everything went decently smooth. The coil compressor they had there were junk though and bobby had to come drop his off so we could finish (thank god too) Speaking of coil compressors. The ones they had there were useless and a good demonstration of this is the fact that they exploded off and tried to break my arm. I woke up this morning with a giant lump in my forearm and in pain cause those compressors shot off and the coil slammed into my arm. I also lost control of my bowels it scared me so much, not to mention hurt like... But oh well its on there and Im still alive.

I still have a set of tow shackles and brackets to install in the front as well as a tcase drop kit in the middle. I tried to install it last night and was stumped by a bolt that had to way to remove. Then I read on and found that this was a stud. I tried to turn it with vise grips to no avail. Anyone know how to get this thing out of there?

 

This mean you **** your self haha

 

Meant to say almost, but it was close. That thing shotgunned out of there with my arm in its path. All work in the bay stopped and I started hopping around like a fool. I did check my drawers, but thankfully came out clean

 

hahaha...sounds like yall had a good time...not to steal your thread but since you all seem to be from around this area. have you guys ever thought of have likea club meet? just to go hang out and check out each other rigs?

 

If you keep checking this thread they seem to find times to go hang out, mainly to wheel. There is a group that goes out pretty much every weekend

 

yeah like a meet and greet. yeah we do. but idk when the next one is....should be soon.

 

its ERICK...for next time. but yeah it turned out pretty sweet. and yeah that spring was very powerful.

thanks for the coil compressors, made the other one losts easier.
