I will be in attendance and modding my rig at this event; I have Timbren bumpstops to install, some ICON's to install, some rear RADFLO's to install, and some new lug-studs to replace the damn factory ones that have zero thread left

There's a certain Canadian whose help I would appreciate regarding those damn lug-studs...

Make sure Randy has his grinder.  Maybe bring a little black spray paint.

It looks like the CJ may not be back from the shop until the 21st. I have a ton of things I need to get done with it and the MOD day is perfect for it so I might be elbowed out. If it's not back in time I need to decide if I'll show up to help turn wrenches or not. Is anyone planning any big projects?

I have front and rear shocks, timbren bumpstops, lug studs and an incomplete electric overhaul to do.  I'm not counting on knocking all that out in one mod day, but I could use a hand with a few of those projects...

Nothing to work on...wish we could just stop by and see all the peeps, the roster is shaping right up to EPIC levels.

Have fun fellas...please take/post some photos!  :)

Well, my weekend project (my half-finished patio cover) has been delayed by the forecast for extreme heat, my father and law coming down with an upper respiratory infection, and my brother having other (paying) work lined up. So that means I'M IN for the mod day! :)

I'll bring a couple of projects of my own - I need to grind my front coil buckets a little (still getting some CBC at full droop), and I have some HD AALs for my Old Man Emu leaf packs that need to be installed. Randy - as long as you're passing her around like a cheap hooker, can I get some action from that grinder of yours? Do you need me to bring some extra cut off wheels or anything?

I'll bring cookies and some cheap domestic beer for hydration.

Hey Danny, I think I have your ratchet and socket.  I thought is was Jordan's....my bad. 

Steve, I remember seeing the chair when I left.  I wasnt sure it was yours so I think its still at Randy's.  I'll double check my truck though.
