GREENSBORO area wrenching day....

I know there is some pretty good interest in a get together for some wrenching soon for some folks that live in the Greensboro area. lets get some possible dates and times and a headcount for this. If you want to attend you dont necessarily need to have any wrenching done to your truck. Just join us for some fun. We are always looking to have folks jsut get together and meet and greet. i would do it at my house however i have limited space to have anything done ...only one truck at a time and its tight. but i do have alot of land to have alot of vehicles at one time.

So lets try to get some possible dates and times, a head count, and what your wanting to have done.

I'm free any day between now and January 2nd. I have front 5100's coming in on Thursday this week (12/27/12). Let's get this party started!

I have a huge driveway and room for several trucks. One oversized bay to pull a car in. No hydraulic lifts or jacks though. Fair assortment of tools but by no means a garage. I need to install PIAA lights up front and remove mud flaps. I need rear shocks but not sure if that can e done in the driveway or by me without specialized tools.

the rear shocks are easy to do...very easy so no problem there...and the lights are easy for Ryan if he can make it to this...

the front 5100s are pretty easy too..jsut a little more time consuming...(more time to drink a beer)...

Red Oak anyone?

yes please.....but really no more than 12 I may have to drive

Looks like we've got 4 lined up for Friday:

1) Jon (me)
2) Derek
3) Wylie
4) Michael

Man, if Ryan is free, this thing is on!

Ha! I'm done after 3 ... (lightweight)

Hell, I'm in if we can do it at my house again. I'm stuck here most of the day waiting on Time Warner to show up and you know how punctual they are! I've got some space to work and park, but since it's only gonna be 47 on Friday, it'd be nice working in a heated garage for any of the bigger projects (of course I've got heat). I can handle two trucks at once in the garage if someone's willing to help me push the Honda out and back in again once we're done. I know we could easily get some 5100's, rear shocks and lights installed at this with some extra time for a few other projects as well.

You guys really need to be doing this on Thursday, then taking your trucks to the Gulches on Friday to try all that new stuff out!

Are y'all looking at a all day Friday event or afternoon/evening?

Man if I didnt have plans to go to the gulches on Fri and have a cabin rented for Thursday night yall know I'd be down...... I really need a wrenching day lol

I was thinking late morning through evening or something thereabouts.

I'm open anytime Friday

singletrack.... what type of bike is that? and where do you ride?

I ride a Specialized Carve 29'r with a 1x9 drivetrain setup. I literally live on Wild Turkey trail in Greensboro so I'm fortunate to have about 40 miles of trails right out the front door. You ride?

Jon aren't you under 6 ft?! Why are you riding a niner?!

So I can stomp fellas like you into the soil!! ;-)

Touche!

FYI I havent seen anyone mention it yet but you need to go Auto Zone/Advance Auto and rent a spring compessor to do the 5100's. You have to pay a deposit($48-52 maybe) but you get it back when you return it.

I have the scuba diver mod to install. Anyone available on Thursday to assist?

I do whenever i have time, and find a decent trail, there are a few here on camp lejeune and New River air station, ive been up to wilmington once and newbern as well. i got into riding last year i ended up buy a Trek Cobia 29er (got to have the 29 here, it rolls over all the roots and such)
