Spoke to Rob at BudBuilt... sliders are on target to be ready by Oct. 14th. Fantastic people down there. Now I just need to figure out how to get these things installed...

I will likely drive down to pick them up if anyone needs anything to come back this way.

That is great news!! Thank you @Jakes40 and @Stumpalama. My CBI sliders are scheduled to arrive September 23. Super excited!!

I too have good slider news... They were delivered to a guy around the corner from me. I'll be installing them next week.

 

[Kross]

Just registered & working on my readiness list. Can't wait to meet you guys and get my hundy a little dirty.

Quick question - can someone recommend a radio? I've been browsing amazon but still a bit confused. Under $250 would be nice. Portability would also be nice but I understand that could be difficult with my budget.

Thanks!

You should check with @JohnVee about his travel plans. He may be coming up from down that way in time to install them before FC.

There is a radio thread in our club forum with tons of info.
The club has radios for members to borrow during the event if you aren't ready to buy one yet.
If you want your own radio I recommend a baofeng UV-5r as a good starter radio. I can program it with my laptop.
Amazon product ASIN B00R7KKMEA

 

[Jakes40]

2X in the Baofeng. $30 for the radio. Get a different antenna $15. And if you drop it in a puddle your not out $200.

Anyone have a set of rear leafs for a 1977 fj40? Was going over the truck and found that I have 2 cracked leafs on my driver rear leaf spring......

 

[Jakes40]

Measure the width of them and I’ll check.

I spoke with Rob the other week about my skids and the time frame. Also talked to him about the slider install and how hard it would be. He was super friendly, told me it shouldn't take more than 2hrs being first time, and also said don't be afraid to contact him if there are any issues.

So whenever you get them, I can help you out on a weekend morning.

It always amazes me when they somehow lose something so large. it isn't a little package. Long ago, I bought 4 lift springs for an FJ40 and fedex delivered three of the four springs. They never found the other one. Customer service only wanted to pay for the one they lost - I was asking them what was I supposed to do with three lift springs?

Hope they show up!!!

I also love how those fine companies are more than happy to charge extra for an over sized package as well.

I have a tailpipe coming from the New England area. Somehow it got sucked in the vortex known as Philly. I initiated all the contact thru UPS. They never replied as promised. Oh wait, I just got an email asking if I received the tailpipe. Should I ask them if they received a delivery receipt? WTF.. I actually went to the local brick and mortar and picked one up.

I how you used sucked, vortex, and Philly all in one sentence, its even funnier that it was a tail pipe.

I might, in my box, may have some surface rust, what is the eye to eye measurements.

I’ll be heading north 10/1 and a day before Fall Crawl. Those are my only travel plans for now. Happy to help if I can.

Depends. Is she hot?

 

[JohnVee]

...and does she have any warrants?
