Wrenching party in Milwaukee, WI

[PLaFrombois]

I can bring a floor jack and a couple of stands if they're needed. I should have room, but Matt hasn't called me yet to help haul the parts he couldn't fit in his truck

Ouch. feel the love...



OK, here's the spacer deal: I'll bring MY compressors (which are already shortened to work on a ram) and a set of tall jackstands. That was a mistake I made last year, I didn't have the truck high enough off the ground to start with.



Ironically, I still havent gotten the taller bump stops installed. The MagHytek front diff cover is still in the box too.

Well, um , ah...

Extreme: Do you have any work that needs the front bumper removed? I think just about everytime we get together, something on the front of your truck has to be removed.



Paul

Another warm comment, jeez.



No bumper removal this time but the fog lights still need aiming. With the sport lights and custom wiring, I don't need them too much but it's on the list.



Do the front bump stops count?

 

[PLaFrombois]

Hey, can we get a rough guestimate to how many will be showing up? What munchies should we bring?



Paul

 

[PLaFrombois]

Just another note that I forgot. Would somebody post directions for those that haven't been there before? I even forgot what road to exit off I94.



I remember we stopped at a Culvers before going to the track last year.

My plans have changed and I will not make the wrenching day. I have to take call that weekend so I need to stay close to the shop. I will catch you all some other time.

I was hoping to make it, but ... I am going to Aron (Amianthus) to get the head O-ringed in preparation for the twins.

You know, you guys are picking the WORST day possible for a Wisconsin meet! The 24th is the first day of the Jefferson car show and swap meet and I simply must attend to buy junk parts for my junk 76 chevy truck. But I think it must be worth skipping and going on Sunday as all I ever do is increase my collection of tow hooks every time I go up there.



GRRRR!@!!!!@$!@$#@%@#$%

[PLaFrombois]

Andy, go on Sunday. You might not find everything that you're looking for, but what you do find can be had cheaper. Most of those guys would rather not bring home what they brought to the meet. Besides, they're finding extra things to bring home themselves.



See ya Saturday.



Paul

 

[realsquash]

Yeah Jefferson can wait until Sunday I guess...



Andy

swap meet...

Yeah, a guy @ work wants me to go with him on Saturday to that Jefferson meet...



I'd rather wrench on Cummins powered trucks.

Got my DSS delivered yesterday. I'm planning on going and installing the DSS, that is if I can wait. Even, if I do install it before I still will head up.

Hi guys! My new 600 is due in to Belvidere tomorrow afternoon. If I get lucky (and I haven't been so far in the order process), I'll get it in time to bring it by. Insight shows it at the dealer on the 27th, but hopefully that's conservative. I've got some accessories, including a brakesmart brake controller, to install.



I'd like to meet some of you local Cummins enthusiasts. This works out nice in that it is a rare, no racing weekend for me.

[jtisdale]

I guess I am gonna make it after all. My plan is to put the front lift in. If you could bring your spring compressors Eric, I would really appreciate it. Oo.



If time permits, I may have a few other small items to do, like trying to figure out why my pyro DOESNT WORK RIGHT

What time is the Madison area cronies gonna leave? If its early enough, maybe we can cruise together. I plan to be the first one there, and maybe the last one hung... maybe.

 

[HoleshotHolset]

departure time...

Anytime is fine with me.



Matt

 

[Extreme1]

Well, maybe I won't be heading down there. I really need to install my "new" box and if the weather looks good for the whole weekend, I'm going to stay home and do it.



If it is supposed to rain on Sunday, I come I'll bring the compressors.

 

[csevers]

It looks as if I will make it, I just have to be ready to split around 3 or so. I can help with what ever.
