I am pleased to announce that we have been granted permission to use the maintenance facilities at the Veteran's Memorial Airpark on May 17, 2008 from 10am to 6pm.

We will have jacks, jack stands and air compressor available for us to use. There will be free Hamburgers and hot dogs served and drinks will be available at the Airpark ($0.50 Cokes,etc..).

Directions:

The easiest way to the airpark is to go to 820 north and exit N.Main. After turning south on N.Main, proceed south to NW 38th St. Turn right at NW 38th St. (by fire station) and follow it all the way down. You will pass through a pipe gate and turn immediately left. Go past the hangars and through the gate. You will turn left before you get to the airplanes. I will post signs at Main and NW 38th.

PM me if you need my phone# or if you have any questions.

Hope to See You There!!!

I'll be there.. Don't have anything to do but will lend a hand if anyone needs one.

 

[ajstoy]

im in, as long as wife doesnt have us commited...would be fun to meet some locals...dont need anything done, but wouldnt hesitate to give someone a hand, or wrench, or saw, or.....you know how that list can go

Cool; I will come to be sociable for once. If I haven't finished wiring up my new on-board compressor by then I may work on that, otherwise I'll be available for advice or help on other's trucks - I've installed enough lifts on FJC's to be pretty good at it now. Plus, I used to make a living as a mechanic a long time ago.

Edit: Maybe maybe my Demello rear bumper will be here by then - any week now, waiting... waiting...

I think both of you will find someone to help.. Digger bought mine and installed them himself, 1911 has exp too. I have exp with the RC 6"..

I'll let you do most of the work, but can show you all the short cuts and etc. Not that difficult of a job.

Sweet! Does anyone have experience installing OME 886s?

Yep. If you want, I'll bring my spring compressors and an impact wrench to turn them with, but you'll do most of the real work.

There's a way to chop the body mount, using a grinder, instead of a torch. Then, instead of welding a plate over the hole a forum member used epoxy putty to fill it (pretty unique idea).

You'll have to search the Tech Articles section, or a general forum search to find the thread...

 

[jcphockey16]

hope i can make it

 

[BobKid]

I plan to be there. I got home tonight and the UPS chick left my SAW/OME hybrid lift on the porch, which hpefully I'll get on this weekend. That should leave me available to help whoever else needs it on the 17th.

If we run out of lifts to install, maybe someone can help me install a pair of aux backup lights, since I'm pretty much electrically inept.

 

[Jburks1968]

That IRS check can't get here soon enough!!! I will also try to make it, don't know much but i can cause problems. lol

I have a business associate who lives in Keller with that exact lift and size of tires on stock alloy wheels. I installed his OME lift for him. His needed the body mount chop for sure, and they still rub at full turn on the (stock) upper control arms. FYI.

I'm there!

Anyone experienced in the installation of the Safari Snorkel?

Digger, do they have various size metal hole saws available in order to tackle this task?

 

[SSDuck8]

[landy]

I'm planning on doing a lift, I'll know which one when I get there lol!

definitely interested in this one.. I don't have experience but wouldn't mind helping out. I think it's one of my next mods..

edit:btw from what I read you only need a 4" hole bit other than the normal drill bits. but I probably would want to double check that.

I have some allen bits and star bits, if you need to install that CAI
