If Kelly doesn't have one I would appreciate it if you brought one.

I got crazy busy, too and then am not sure what I am doing or where I am going with the '85 4Runner. The moly grease is this stuff: http://www.industrial-oil.net/conoco-phillips-1044178-conoco-megaplex-xd5-no-2-grease-tube.html
Will sell all 8 tubes or any portion there-of for $3 each tube. thx
NO worries! Sorry to hear about on the head gasket!!
Just got her back in business the other day. Did an entire rebuild from the bearings up.

Can you bring yours. I last used mine in the "1900's"
Hey Mike,
Did you grab your parts from Molle or order them online? I haven't priced them out yet, but was thinking Molle for convenience. Any other parts I should snag to go with the crank and oil pump seal job that you know of (peanut gallery, feel free to comment too)?
I already did new radiator and all hoses a few months ago, but think I'll be pulling it for convenience on the oil pump/crank seal job.

Forgot to post up that Mike and Thomas are bringing their smoker and will have lunch prepared, and maybe leftovers for dinner. If you want to bring a side or dessert, please do.
I believe I got mine from CDan. Can't remember for sure because I have had them for quite some time. I pretty much get everything from Molle now. The discount is good and Andrew at the parts counter is easy to work with.
Thanks Mike. I ordered them up through Molle yesterday; Tim is pretty good to work with over there too...gonna be a hot one this weekend!

Usually like to roll with the flow; however, with the hot weather, wanted to lay out a plan. My garage has A/C and will hold at max 4 vehicles. 3 if we have metalworking being done.
Thing with an axle job is that there is more time under the rig as outside cleaning the parts.
I am thinking we put two axle jobs in the garage at once and then have room for a third spot for rigs to come and go with other projects and still have room for metalworking back in the corner. Welding may have to be limited inside somewhat depending on how much needs to be done. If there is a lot of Plasma cutting we can do outside to keep fumes out there. Also can work early AM or Late PM welding with doors open and exhaust fan on.
Anyway, it sounds like we have many volunteers to help, so assuming we want to work inside, I am suggesting that we work together to get them done and then we can swap in the next vehicle.
I have one pop up canopy that can be used to cover anyone that works outside; however, the temps look like they are going to be bad.
Reminds me to tell you to bring Jack Stands -- we ran out a few years ago. I have a high lift jack. I found 5 gallons of paint thinner for cleaner, need a few more gallons. Cheap stuff is fine.
Friday morning early, if there is anyone that can come over and help, I want to move a bunch of stuff out of the garage to make room inside for our work. I will be out there at 7am while it is cool. Also, if anyone has a few pallets, I am needing some to move stuff to pallet racking. Maybe 6 or so.
Still looking at road trip to Molle at around 11am for those that can, then out to Olathe Toyota and Oklahoma Joes. I know Joes gets really busy, especially on a Friday, so wondering if we should have a late lunch afterwards. Thoughts?

Liking the plan. Been thinking about how hot it's going to be this weekend.
I like the idea of working together and "assembly lining" trucks through the garage. And that Joe's does get VERY busy (our old office used to be near there) so lunch after Olathe Toyota may also be a good idea.
Not sure I can do 7am Friday help...might have to wrap up a few things at the office first that morning. I'll know for sure tomorrow.

What size pallets do you want? I can get you some. May need to bring them out Thursday night, if that's okay.
I also have a 10x20 canopy if you want me to bring it.
Trying to squeeze in a 1/2 day of work, so I was planning to join the group after Molle. Whether that's Oklahoma Joe's or Olathe Toyota first doesn't matter to me. BTW, which location are we talking about for Oklahoma Joe's? Olathe?

Sweet... looking for the full size ones, but beggers can't be choosers. I would prefer if it can span the 44" pallet racking depth.
On the larger canopy, I don't know if anyone plans to work outside. You won't catch me out there....
Yes, on Olathe OK Joes. I have not been to the Leawood one yet -- in fact I forgot about it until you asked.

I'm sneaking out of work ASAP tomorrow, but it will likely be PM - we have a bunch of stuff to do for our business in the AM in addition to my work.
I will come over EARLY in the AM for moving stuff, but gotta leave there around 8:30.
Thanks!

Sounds like low ability to do Molle and Olathe Toyota. Should I reschedule this?
Who can make either one?
Kelly

Rob R., Get some sleep, sounds like we have at least 4 guys here to move stuff, I think that will make quick work of it.
So far to Molle/Olathe Lunch: Kelly, Rob K, Rob R. Mike.
Oh, and will have coffee machine ready, as well as cooler full of ice water. Bring your favorite cup.
