[kiragyu]

just give me some dates

I like the sound of this....... the only problem is if I bring my Explorer down it might not make it out of your shop... ha ha ha
I got so many projects to do to it but so little money.

Yeah start throwing out some dates I think it would be great to meet you guys. I work third shift so Friday afternoons till Sunday afternoon I am off....but I still got vacation days to burn.

Just keep this going, more will see it. I'm passing the word around. Even without a project, got too many like CountyBoy said, think it would just be nice to meet/greet. Winter is still hanging on up here.

Yeah i'm hoping it warms up and dries out sooner rather than later, though it doesn't hurt my feelings to much missing out on this weather, if it was sunny and 60 i'd have a hard time resting. I got a tone of parts ordered so I am good on projects to but I am thinking a meet and great is the ticket anyways

 

[CountryBoy78]

Hey I like the idea of meeting and I don't mind if we do some wrenching. I'm not sure if I'll have my Explorer down or not depends on what dates.
If not I am willing to help turn some wrenches on your projects if you want.

I am looking for some wheeling buddies and places to go.....I haven't been wheeling for serveral years Lets get the word around about this thread.

Id come over depending on the dates lol i could always use some help fitting a one piece aluminum bumper off my dads old Jeep J10 on the front of my 87 ranger lol that should be interesting and i wanna make a different bumper for the back kinda like the original STX tube bumpers

 

[howlinghuskie]

Oh yeah and I need to paint my doors since it now has the bright calypso green metallic doors on both sides cause my power doors didnt work and i didnt feel like messing with them

Anyone Know Predator? Doesn't look like he has been on here in a long time, hoping everything is ok. But I was thinking maybe we should do a meet and greet in Eau Claire or something in the next month or so. I know there is a Harbor Freight not far from the big mall there and a lot of good restraunts. Maybe May 21st or something or the weekend before that.

Is frontend work a possibility? Ball joints are bad on my 92.
Also anyone capable of doing gears?
92 4x4

Would depend on the date though with the kids sports rolling finally.

PM you some info.

Ball joints would be a snap for ya. Where are you from? I got a mint Ball joint press. I have also set up gears to. I am looking crush sleeve eliminator shims for the Dana 35 and 8.8 if they are available to make life so much easier. Not sure if they are available though for those axles.

I might be able to do a meet and greet, if you guys decide on a date, I will try to get off of work for it.

 

[howlinghuskie]

id prob be able to do a meet and greet too depending on the date. just as long as its not on graduation or before ill be good lol that is of course if my fiancee is ok with it lol

From Ladysmith.
Once we get a date setup I'm sure I'll be able to afford the ball joints but the gears will be iffy being it will be almost 1,100 bux for the kits and gears!!! But I will try . Just have such a hard time spending that when a 302 would fit....
Which ball joints you guys recommend? All is shot on passenger side but should I do the drivers too?

i would replace them both then you wont have to worry about changing the other one soon. i wouldnt risk the other one possibly being bad from the other one failing but someone correct me if im wrong
