Hey Mike. That will be a piece of cake. I have done that and we just did that to Toms at the last G2G. Pick up some small guage stranded wire. Like 22-24 guage at the most.

Hey Mike I will add your gpr led mod to the list. That is something I would like to get done sometime too. I'll also add what Jason wanted to do his truck also. If I am missing anything somebody wants to do just add it to the list.

Troy-shocks and steering stabalizer
Dale-upper and lower ball joints
Mike-GPR led mod
Jason-isolator for fuel gauge/trans flush

You can put me down for ESOF hub seal repair.

Do you have an air compressor Troy? If so, how big?

Jay I have an air compressor but I am not sure of the size, but it is plenty big and it will keep up to my air tools with no problem. Mike I am not sure on the grease you need.

I don't know the "technical" spec for the grease but I have some really good grease that I use. You are more than welcome to use mine Mike.

Sounds good Troy. Just wanted to make sure we had something bigger than those little tire inflaters. haha

Yeah Jay its bigger than a those tire inflators. Actually its an old one that has been rebuilt but works good. The date on the motor shows it was built in 1942! I think my gpa bought it new.

Is the GTG on the 16th a day trip or an over-nighter? Rumor has it there's a carpool going from the metro, any guess on times for leaving and returning?

Hey Scott the GTG is the 16th and is a day trip as far as I know. I am sure you could hitch a ride with one of the guys from the metro area. One of them should be along and chime in shortly.

I think Tom, Dale and myself are for sure all driving. Tom is in NE Mpls, Dale is is Robbinsdale, I am in Maple Grove. You cold hitch a ride with any one of us I am sure. I guess we need to work on a time to leave still. A convoy would be good in case anybody has any mechanical issues. Or if your looking to drive also we just need to work out times and a meeting place.

I am game for starting early. It seems like we have a lot of projects and the earlier we start the earlier we get done. I vote for a 9am start time in Morris. We could meet in Maple Grove around 6:30.

That time works for me Tom. We need to put me down for an oil change also I think.

There is a Super America station about 1 block east off the Weaver Lake Rd exit we could meet at.

We need to make sure we have a REAL BIG wrench for doing the balljoints on Jasons truck. I think it was a 1 3/16ths or something like that. I will try to measure mine. Or a really big crescent wrench
