MOD DAY

OK...While doing my year end beer inventory, I discovered I had a surplus. Therefore, this weekend I will be doing several mods and upgrades and general wrenching.
WW installation w/pedestal o-rings, IC boots, FRX, reinstall HPX, foil delete and paint IC pipes, bellowed up pipes, .50 mod, re-torque under valve covers, and new glow plugs.
Is there anything else I should do while the valve covers and turbo are off?

Ps: Clay went out of his way to express a part to me when my truck was down. I am just now fixing it due to some unforeseen family issues. I thank Clay for going out of his way and I will be ordering more goodies soon to make it right with him.

Looks like you will be too busy to drink the surplus beer. If I was close enough, I would give you a hand drinking the beer.

Thanks Clay, I'll try to get enough pics. And then someone can tell me how to put them on this site.
Miller_Feed...Grand Lake is like a long drive, but there is always beer.

What's the 50c mod work out to in Canadian?? And I'm with Rick -- send that beer down this way. We'll drink it up during the Southern Style G2G.

About forty eight cents. You guys will have enough beer to wash down those mudbugs as it is. Besides, my beer has a very short life span and wouldn't make the trip.
I hope you guys have a great time.

How about some hybird injectors, 38R and some bigger oil while you are in their .

Sounds like a good mod day and if you have those massive Beers like Alex (quick444) has man you'll be set.

Those are big enough to use for jack stands. I don't think I would get much done.

I just ordered a set of Bilstein 5100"s from Essex in BC. $400CAD to my door.
Can anyone suggest a good steering stabilizer setup? ( stock tire size)
