Differential Repair this weekend 2/23

Bear80 · 02-18-08, 10:58 PM

It looks like Adam's differential is in need of a new pinion spacer and carrier shims. We're going to try and set it up this Saturday. While we are at it, I'm going to try and finish up my sub tank install. Anyone else is welcome to come by to enjoy the company, food and drink. Most likely it won't be a super time like this past weekend nor the amount of work but a good opertunity to see differential work done for those of you who are curious.

HA! looks like were both ready to do something this weekend cause with have threads started at the same time.

Lets do a middle of the week wrench day so we can all go camping...cool?

BrettinSanAntonio · 02-18-08, 11:16 PM

I can't make camping this weekend but if you guys do a work day I'll be there.

cool breeze · 02-18-08, 11:24 PM

I need to finish my cb install, just need a few pointers. A middle of the week would be awesome if possible for anyone else....ben, adam?

Oh, also need to install spacers. I wish i was able to install a locker with yall this weekend but gots to wait for my tax return.

Just think how much better camping will be when we get that CB installed.

What do you have left to do with the CB?

Rockwieser · 02-18-08, 11:35 PM

I will bring some beers and we can figure some lunch arangments out....maybe our great ACLC chef will cook somthing up if she is willing .

Either way it should be a good time !

oh and I have some nice logo drawing I will bring by...I have a few ideas.

cool breeze · 02-18-08, 11:39 PM

I know dude, ill be able to ignore people TWO different ways !

just need to wire it up, finish mounting and figure out the ant. situation. I bolught the cobra ant. hga1000 but dont like the way its a permanent mount. Been looiking at the firestiks, is that the one? id like somehting thats easily detachable or something...

Bear80 · 02-18-08, 11:52 PM

I said this in your camping thread, but you should come by Josh and we can also put in that speedometer gear.

rrdogma · 02-19-08, 06:01 AM

I think our illustrious chef might be in need of some wrenching on her zoo. I bet she could easily be convinced to come on by and cook for us. She may also be the proud owner of a real truck by this weekend

Kelly

edit: I will bring the coffee

I always liked the Wilson antennas better than the firestiks. However, it's a personal choice. If you have a CB with built in SWR meter calibration, it's a snap to get the antenna/CB tuned correctly. Magnetic mount antennas will scratch up the roof of your cruiser..... Just my two cents dude. If no roof rack, could go with a bumper mount....

ilikebigtires · 02-19-08, 02:03 PM

I think I could be convinced to come by and cook something for you guys. I don't ask for much either...just a brake pad replacement on the Zoo. Can one of you guys help me with this on Saturday? Please, please, please...with a cherry on top ;-)

Bear80 · 02-19-08, 02:45 PM

My garage doesn't really like non-Toyotas setting in it. I suppose I could sweet talk it if we're just doing brakes and you're making amazing grilled food again.

Are we going to do Kelly's birfields blind folded this weekend?

ilikebigtires · 02-19-08, 02:57 PM

I like that trade! I hope your garage doesn't spit my truck out onto the street. Maybe I'll put a Toyota sticker on the zoo to fake it out.

I think doing Kelly's birfields blind folded will make an awesome youtube!!

Ben and Brett's Blindfolded Birfield Bonanza?

Does anyone have a video camera? I'm in if you are up to it, I just need to order the parts.

ilikebigtires · 02-19-08, 03:32 PM

Let's do it! I am going to try and get my video camera fixed this week.

Ben, what was in your BC Care Package?

I was just thinking that while I was eating dinner!! I'm thinking tacos, crunchy, soft, whatever and some grilled pineapple! Everyone has to wear a lay too.

Where can I buy some of those?

Oops, I overlooked this. I don't mind doing this again, as long as I'm not cleaning the grease mess. Turning a wrench is cake. I don't have much to clean parts in so if Brett could bring that large silver bucket. I can make up another parts list for you. Would we need to re-pack the wheel bearings also?

Bear80 · 02-20-08, 02:19 AM

I just wanted to ask everyone to please come out. We had a most excellent time this past weekend and it looks to be the same. We most likely will be doing Kelly's birfields which is a large job but would be significantly quicker with some more hands. Though I don't want to discourage anyone from bring thier truck to work on. If there is somehing of minor consequence please feel free, we can have a better measure if we know how many are willing to show.

Does anyone mind stepping up for the drinks? I'll work with Jen on the food and of course "ingredients" for the harder beverages are on me.

Garden Ridge has a ton of leis and other luau type stuff. How funny, I have never been to a Hawaiian taco party

I don't think the wheel bearings were done either. It has 160k. I will order the parts this afternoon. Also, what cleaning stuff? I know we used diesel and brake cleaner on Brett's. Anything else? Oh and this time I will bring a mask. That stuff made me dizzy.
