Event Description

I will be hosting an Install Day and BBQ at my place in Placerville.If you have something to install come on by. If you do not, come on by anyway. The location is about 40 miles east of Sacramento on hwy 50. The address will be PM'd to those interested near the date.
I will supply burgers, chicken, sodas and a grill. Others can bring salads, deserts, etc.I have a number of tools, plus a welder and compressor. If you need anything special post it up, someone may be able to come up with it.
Ask questions if you have them. Post if you are interested. Hope you can make it.

Update 9/4:

If the Forest Service gets the specs to me in time, we may have a kiosk to build for the Long Canyon Trailhead.

Update 9/18:

I have the specs. We will not have the materials until later in October.

Comment by BlackGold1 on September 18, 2011 at 9:20pm: Ok, not a problem I will bring my mobile box out with me too. I was a mechanic for about 6 years so I have experience spinning wrenches, but not much experience with cars/trucks. If I can just be pointed in the right direction I should be fine. I appreciate any and all help I can get while I am there as I am sure you all are much more knowledgeable than I am when it comes to this.

Comment by DWH on September 18, 2011 at 9:09pm: I am sure you will get some help from myself and others, but you do need to be prepared to do a good bit of it yourself. I have a jack, stands and a ball joint separator. If you do not have them, some ratchet wrenches will be handy. Especially for the three nuts/bolts on top of the coil mounts.

We have done several, it should be no problem.

Comment by BlackGold1 on September 18, 2011 at 9:02pm: As long as everyone is really up for it, I have a set of Icon coil overs for the front, Total Chaos Upper Control Arms, Icon rear springs, and a set of the new Icon VS series rear shocks... I have had these for months and not had the time to install, if you all are ok with it I will for sure be there!

Comment by DWH on July 25, 2011 at 6:10pm: Hey Esty, you could buy some Bud Builts and install them on my rig!

Comment by Yose FJ (David) on July 25, 2011 at 1:19pm: I have a set of stock side steps to take off, and some stock rails to install and could use a hand. I hope I can make it. I have on my calendar to be in Fresno that weekend, but didn't indicate why. Auuughhh....

(Wish I could do it before High Sierra, but that's the way it goes...)
