What city is this in?
The Duffman's palace....aka DUFF'S LANDING....is in Fallbrook....or Minneapolis. One or the other. ;)
Post by: PainRoller on December 02, 2015, 02:44:54 PM
Unless something happens, I'll be there. I won't be doing anything to the truck, but I'll lend a hand/hang out. I'd be down to bring some crockpot queso or something. If i get my radio installed, and there's time, I might need a hand programming. Can you PM the address to me?

Sweet! If you want to install your radio at MOD day, we have all kinds of Hammy Help - especially if Bromax and/or Knightrider show up. ;)
Crockpot Queso sounds intriguing - tell me more.... ;D
PM RBDuffer for his address ;)
Post by: PainRoller on December 02, 2015, 02:47:21 PM
I have actually been very curious to check out the snorkel... This would allow that and also give me a chance to meet some members. I tried to find this answer but didn't see it... What city is this in?
It's a wee bit of a drive - BUT TOTALLY WORTH IT!!
PM RBDuffer for the address.
Hope you can make it. :)

Crockpot queso is my wife's thing. It's kind of a mix of a spinach/cheese dip, and it's delicious.

I may show up for this, I won't have anything to work on as usual but I can help out with everyone else's projects. I still need to get new leaf and coilover springs but that requires money haha
Snorkel? I thought you were in on the GB.

Oh boy, possibly 13-14ish trucks if everyone is there! One tip I can give is that the people needing flat ground to work on to show up first, then anyone else working on stuff or helping/hanging out to show up maybe a few minutes after 8 to make the best use of space; it's gonna be packed!
Good point, maybe i'll cruise out at 8:30 rather, to give the people who are doing cool stuff room to get in.
Excited to meet everyone!

The second..and more likely to interfere...is the broken ribs I've been nursing since Monday. They stilll hurt like hell and not sure if another week will be long enough for crawling under the truck!
I do have my add a leafs from Alcan in my garage right now. cutting U-bolts off since they're siezed, Taking out the entire pack and then adding the new leafs in the middle of the pack, adjusting shackles back to lowest setting and then reinstalling everything!
I also need to swap out a half axle with my spare so I can get a boot repaired.

Will anyone who is coming to this mod day have a 3 1/8" hole saw for the snorkel installers to use? I know Toro picked one up, but I haven't seen if Toro is attending the mod day or not. That's quite a drive for him. If not, I'll order one, but need to know ASAP so we have one in time.
Ultrapc40 lent us his for the MOD Day. I'm not positive it's the size needed. I'll check tomorrow morning and get back to you. HOPEFULLY Toro is attending as well....... ;D ;D ;D

Mike says the borrowed hole saw measures out at 3"
But he has a set of hole saws in storage. We can check out if there is a 3 1/8" in the set tonight.
Any Requests for specific food/beers? Since I'm not mechanically sound as of yet, I'll bring some goodies for the group
Bring what you like to drink/eat - just bring more of it....... ;D
Ideas:
Big bag o' Salad w/ a jug o' dressing
Cheese Platter
Pinwheel Platter
Duffer has a frig and a nice house to stage food. Last MOD day - someone even had meat from a crockpot.
And everyone munched on Joe's cookies prior to lunch. ::)
Post what you decide to bring and I will update the OP.

As for beer, any imported lager (and yes Canada is an import Jay), that way if no one likes it, I get to keep it ;D
Everyone else: If you have any skills/knowledge on removing window tint from Nilda's Honda, please share.
Thanks, Randy

Toro: Damit!!If it's just sitting and she doesn't have to drive it, spray with an ammonia based window cleaner, cover with saran wrap and park it in the sun. Let it sit for a few days and respray if it dries. If she needs to drive it, just do the same process the day before you want to remove the tint. The tint should peel right off, should...

I bought a 3 1/4" hole saw today at the local hardware store that I'll bring along on Saturday as well. They didn't have a 3 1/8", but the 3 1/4" worked just fine. Only 1/16" larger on each side of the hole than the recommended size, which the snorkel body covers up just fine (as long as you drill the hole in the right spot).
What exactly do you mean "this worked"...................................... >:(

Joe : Seriously, no worries. I completely understand your excitement. 8) With your expertise now, do you think the 3" hole saw will work or do we need your 3 1/4?
GrimX : Are you bringing your lightbar? I hear Joe and Duffer are good with lights..... ;)
RikRong : I gotchu down for Queso. Do you need an antenna mount? I think we have an extra one lying around.....

Bromax: Bummer dude. You'll be missed. :(I should be good. I have a mag mount now and I'll work with that if the other one doesn't get here in time. Thanks for the offer, though.

Is there a homedepo or some sorta electronics store near you to buy wiring and other stuff needed to wire the led bar. I plan on getting there, having someone look at my situation and running to buy the stuff and then start on it

I would pick up some 12-14 gauge red and black and some 16-18 gauge red for the switch. You will need 4 bud connectors for the 12-14 wires and 2 for the 16-18 gauge wire.

If you already got the wiring harness, you should have everything. You might need extra wires and butt connectors to extend the wire to the roof and switch to the cab.About how much footage of each?
