*COMPLETED* - Install Day at the BAG! - May 7

[Workdawg]

I'd be in for an early start on Saturday... Jenny has to work so I'm free in the morning. But will probably have to leave in the early afternoon. I can bring my floorjack and a pair of jackstands, but I don't have much else in the way of helpful tools. I can bring my breaker bar, torques wrench and racheting box wrenches if they would be helpful.

 

[spek1098]

I won't be able to make it but I have a set of jackstands and a jack (large, 3 or 4 ton) that can be borrowed if needed.

 

[mndsm]

Colin- lemme know, I can just plan on going there directly from work, or close to it, i have all the lifty stuff you need.

 

[DrWebster]

If you don't mind doing that Tom, that would be great. If we can get my suspension cranked out quick-like, after some noms we can get your brakes done. (And I've actually done my fronts, albeit with Jay's help, so I won't be completely useless lol.)

Dan, I could use a breaker bar and sockets for it (assuming it's 1/2"). I got a torque wrench already.

 

[mndsm]

I have a breaker too if Dan forgets his. We're gonna hold off on my brakes, simply because I need to do rotors at the same time and unless I can get em overnighted (from Japan!) i'm gonna not have all the parts.

 

[Workdawg]

My breaker bar is 1/2", but I'm not sure how many 1/2" sockets I've actually got. I bought a handful of used craftsman ones from a d00d on CL, and I've just added one for my lugs... I'll bring what I've got though.

 

[dmention7]

I have a full set of 1/2" normal and deep sockets if you guys need them. Not sure exactly when I'd be there, but ya'll are more than welcome to stop by if you need something and I'm not there.

 

[Jana]

We have some ketchup, but I need to restock. I'm pretty sure I have a brand new mustard. I'm tentatively planning to hit up Target for grocery shopping so I'll grab more. Much easier than everyone trying to bring condiments like that.

 

[YSOSLO]

For those doing suspension work, you might want to start hitting the bolts under there with WD-40 or something to bust things loose for the next few days so you guys aren't killing yourselves trying to get things off and on. I still remember Jurgen's twisted and broken lugs from the heated-garage meet we did a year or 2 ago....wasn't pretty.

 

[AJ]

FYI, anyone want me to save some 20% off harbor freight coupons for the install day? I don't ever go there, but if people do I'll keep them and you can grab it at the install day. I have 3 of them.

 

[JohnnyT]

Colin, I'll remember the spring compressors.

AJ, PM me your address.

Also, should I pack my socket set? Anything else we might be forgetting?

 

[mndsm]

A curse jar? gloves? a thing to catch thrown tools with? Also, grab sockets. You can never have enough.

 

[DrWebster]

Thanks JT.

I just rechecked my calendar, and it looks like I'll end up making it to AJ's after 10...have something going on at 9:30 I forgot about. Probably will be more like 11:30 when I'll get there, but rest assured the noms will be coming with me (I'll hit up Costco on the way over).

 

[ohsixspeedsix]

Any welding equipment? Longshot question.

 

[AJ]

nope, no welding.

Also, if anyone is changing fluids (blinker or otherwise), bring something to put it in, I'm not keeping that around.

might as well, i could use an actual jack.

 

[Matt D.]

I have nothing going on this day and nothing to do on my car but I will stop by anyway.

I have a toolbox full of tools to bring as well as a set of spring compressors at my disposal if you all would like me to bring them. My cooking skills are also available upon request.

 

[niterydr]

My HFH sprung a leak (hose from hell), meaning I will spend this day at an install day at my house .
YAY for getting to replace a coolant hose wedged between the turbo and the block that sends coolant to my oil cooler (THANK YOU TOYOTA!!)

 

[Workdawg]

Sounds more like you'd have an oil heater in that case...

I didn't see any after-chatter about this - how'd the BAG day go? Any pics? Stories?
