Petaluma install day - caravan and shopping list

Hi guys, I am looking forward to participate at the install day in Petaluma next Saturday.

Is there a caravan going up to the place starting from the Peninsula?

I will have to do the 10k service and fix and repaint the scratched parts of my rock sliders and bud skid plates.

So my questions are:
- I have already changed the oil. Which other spare parts should I buy for the 10k service?
- the rock sliders are powder coated. which kind of paint shall I buy to fix the scratches?
- the skid plates have been painted using primer and then blue paint. I still have blue paint but no primer. Shall I buy it or I fix it just with blue paint?

Thank you
Alessio

Wal*Mart sells very good containers for used oil (3 bucks I think)

I think you can return the used oil to any autozone or Wal*Mart so it's not a problem.

Alessio, were your questions ever answered? Your thread got totally jacked. ha-ha

You should check/change your air filter and A/C cabin filter. You might want to lube your drive line, I will bring my grease gun. Have you rotated your tires lately?

I will be leaving San Mateo at 8:00, should take about 1.5 hrs to get there.

Yeah I would appreciate if you can help me. Yes I have to rotate the tires. I would also have to re-torque the bolts and check if there is any special damage that has gone unnoticed so far...

I would also like to modify the cigarette adapter and have it always on, but this may take too much time and I do not want to rush, so it will be for the next time.
