Title: Mod Day???
Post by: FixItGuy on November 27, 2015, 04:25:35 PM
We just got Pepe's butt lift kit... Springs, shackles and a flip kit. (shocks coming next week some time).
Anybody up for an informal wrenching day tomorrow?  :o

Really what we need is a driveway, an extra jack, and a friendly face.  We pretty much have the tools we need.

I can sweeten the deal by bringing Costco Pumpkin Pie and Whipped Cream!!  ;D ;D

No worries guys!  We totally threw this out there last minute.  Didn't want to try and set up a MOD day unless we had product in hand.  And it was late due to crazy holiday shipping. 
 
Mike might try to bang this out today (Saturday).  If not, we will set something up for next weekend so er'body has more time to plan.  ;)

Just to put it out there - I'm really hoping we can set up a Snorkel MOD Day when product ships!  I think it will be fun and a great opp for pics (Joe, Frank.....).  I mean COME ON!  Historically when would you ever see 4-5 X's getting fitted for snorkels all at once?!?!?!?!?!  ;D ;D

Nice!! Gonna be a few holey fenders in the near future!

Thanks for the driveway offer, but work hijacked my spring project this morning.  >:(

OOOOOOO nice Toro! That's gonna be coming in handy pretty soon here for 5 of us. :)

So what's the official day/location for the snorkel mod day? And PainRoller and FixItGuy - you guys just want to do the rear suspension and snorkel all at once? If 4x4 Parts sticks true to their word and starts shipping our snorkels early this week, then maybe we'll be lucky enough to see them show up by next weekend? It's a slim chane though - my guess is they'll use UPS ground, which is the slowest shipping method in the entire world, plus they're coming from South Florida, which is the slowest place in the entire world to ship stuff to So Cal from, plus 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 people just ordered a bunch of crap they don't need over the weekend, which will slow the shipping down even more. :( Maybe we should shoot for two weekends from now, which would be the weekend of the 12th?

Looks like Pepe is getting a BUTT LIFT this weekend!  Woo-hoo!!  ;D ;D

But yeah, we are totally down for the SNORKEL MOD day the weekend of the 12th if er'body has theirs by then.  ;)

And as a side note:  Thanks to all you guys (you know who you are) that offered to lend your skilz and driveway to get Pepe perky this week.  It is super appreciated!!!  :) 8)

Yay for Pepe!

On a side note to the side note that takes us back to the original side note of the original note - I got my tracking number for my snorkel today. Says delivery will be "on or before" 12/7/15. Guess that means this weekend is out of the question, but the 12th is in play for sure.

I should be able to make it on the 12th. I'll be knocking out all my electrical stuff that I can by the 5th hopefully, but anything leftover I'll be doing there, and to watch/learn/help the super snorkel mod shenanigans. :D

Potluck lunch?? I can bring some buffalo wings and plates.
