Good luck with your Pumpkin driving 
Geez Brian don't flatter yourself you ain't got what Burl has!!!!!
Hey guys! I can make this!
Ryan, would it be frowned upon for me to come work on my tie rods? (Assuming I can get them from Cruiser Outfitters in time).
I’m the guy (Chris) that just emailed you for a quote on that and a knuckle rebuild and tie rods.
It will be my first CLCC event and I’ll have my dues in hand. Regardless, will come to observe, learn, and help.
Thanks!

I don't see why it would be. So long as your a member it's all good. You'll want an alignment after the TRE's which probably isn't going to be doable on a Saturday. I've got a toe gauge to rough it in but it's not super accurate.

If you want to do your rod ends start spraying them with a good penetrating oil now and maybe 2 or 3 more times over the next week.
Cruiser Outfitters will have the rods to me in time. I’ll look into a nearby alignment shop as a back up.
Thinking I’ll just pay dues online since I’m not sure who to give it to.
Look forward to meeting you all.

I have the supposed unbreakable set of tie rods to swap out of my forty with the current one splinted with a high lift jack handle. I will be somewhat hostage to the weather in driving down but should make it one way or another.

Or throw it on a trailer and break in the Tundra...

Found this while researching rear axle rebuild.

Or... use a slide hammer?

That was a slide hammer. I hadn't figured out how to use the tri arms facing outward at that point, and only had the one edge puller part on. Sebastien held the edge on while I Silver Slapped. I shoulda read the directions better...

I'm still trying to figure out how heating metal shrinks it.

When you heat it, it expands, as it cools it shrinks more than it expanded. Or magic. Your rear bearing kits will be here in time.
Do you have the stock steering linkage? I have one or two sets of stock linkage in the back of the truck headed to the junk yard tomorrow.

40 linkage?

Has anyone adjusted the body side of the door hinges? I think if I can push those outward the rear of my doors will come in.

Nope never. They are usually sealed in place and kind of suck to adjust.
