New England Mod & Meetup Thread: May 17 at Jared’s!!

That bumpstop extension is a very fancy POS.

 

Shit I didn't even notice that hahaha

 

That is a drop bracket lift.

 

I'll have to check them out for when I need my next alignment. Driving to my buddy's shop in Boston just for an alignment is becoming a pain.

 

I'd drive damn near anywhere for a decent alignment at this point... so.... lol

 

Poll came down for 7/15 ArmorDitch wheeling day. Pm went out to the yes’. If you want to be included as a yes or maybe please speak up, the more the merrier!!!

 

Im going to have to miss out on this, but if anyone has issues I am more than happy to help just give me a call.

 

Can we get a support group for the "I'm a mall crawler" responses?

I'm out, might be passing by late in the day Sunday like 6-7PM if anyone is so shafted they need a hand

 

Went out, or going out? I didn't get one?

 

Invited!

 

Where do you guys go for a transmission fluid drain and fill? I called my dealer and they want $400. Seems ludicrous to me

 

If your coming 7/23 we will have plenty of experience giving you a hand. Not sure if 3rd gens and 2nd are the same but on my truck it was super easy. Would just need to bring fluid and Im sure someone has a pump.

 

Oh I thought tranny was the fluid people said to have someone do. That’d be huge

 

A 3rd gen should weigh in here. I just know in my second gen it was a 1 beer 15 minute job.

 

Complete in Easthampton did a good job last time I had them do one. Not sure if they'll do requested specs though

 

I paid the dealer to do it, like 2 or 300 bucks and I didn't have to put up with warming the truck and checking levels and burping it and then disposing of the ATF, not the cheapest but I'd say worth it

 

Got a bunch of stuff banged out despite the heat today; fitted up my winch controller (with provided hardware nonetheless!), got my chase lights wired up into the switch panel, relocated the accessory wire for said switch panel from the headlight circuit to a keyed ignition circuit inside the cab, cleaned a bunch of my half-assed wiring up, and mounted my bumper lights with some self-tapping machine screws I found laying around the shop this week. The lights are super solid now and look clean to boot. I need a shower and a drink now

 

Steer rite in palmer does good alighnments plus I hear the shop on the left before you cross the bridge {rt 32} going into palmer center its a frame shop heard he does real good alighnments after i get my front shocks on i will give them a shot

 

Need!!

Also

went to run to home dump and my foot went to the floor! no brakes,,wtf!

big ass puddle under passenger front tire, crazy bend on the hard line???? Must have hit something on my way home. Ordered both sides from the stealer and adding that to “what’s new on John’s truck” for tomorrow.

on the plus side, that cv seal is leaking and getting done. Had to be my fault, I just replaced the cvs and that seal is og.
