Ok here is the deal....

We have two FTE members that need balljoints done on their vehicles.
1. David (aawlberninf350) needs to finish the job on his passenger side from the last Mantown at Andy's
2. Willis (Leeroy7.3) need to have both sides replaced.

I know this is last minute but though if any other FTE members in N.California wanted to join us this Saturday 1/30/2016 you are welcome. We didn't know if the weather would allow us to do this work but it looks like we will have good weather on Saturday.

Let me know if anyone is interested and I can send the details. It will take place in the Contra Costa area.

I plan on adding gauges to my Excursion and I also picked up a DP tuner.

Thats cool man to bad no member live close to where I live or it would be "Work on your truck weekend"

 

I'd like to be there but not enough notice. I also have my mom till March so it would be hard. Where about's is that?

 

Ya a bit short notice. We were not sure the weather was going to allow us to do any work but as I mentioned looks like it will.

I am about 30 miles east of San Francisco, specifically in Concord.

Well have fun, maybe you can plan one for spring sometime if you have the room. Never know how many guys would show. God bless,

If more than David and Willis show up it will help determine if my place can handle a bigger crowd. I don't have open space like Andys' place did.

So far a party of three.

I'm here in Benicia. But have the kids on Saturdays. Next time.

 

Those things (kids) get in the way sometimes.

Looks like the weather may not be cooperating with us for Saturday. We are going to tough it out unless it becomes too much. We may have to use pop-ups for cover.

Same here.

 

Prepare for permagrin!

 

Ya I am pretty excited to get these installed. It would be nice if I can get it all done tomorrow but we will see.

This will probably continue to pull me down the PMS road.....yikes.
- upgrade the intake
- larder exhaust
- bigger turbo
- hpop
- larger injectors.
- ect ect ect

please stop me.........

 

Checked the weather and it looks like the rain is holding off on us.

Donuts and coffee will be arriving around 9:00 am.

Ok here are the items I hope to get installed tomorrow.




This will be helpful with the installs.

Sadly I am fresh out of sacrificial goats. But I shall do my anti-rain dance anyway!

Just finished loading the truck with tools and various spares. Oddly enough I found the little EGT probe "install kit" from Clay, but not my floor jack. Go figure.

 

Here are some pics from our mini-mantown....it was all about ball joints.
