I took the K&N filter off of my TB dirty, I will have to clean and oil it before giving it to you. You can also have my extra cleaning solution and oil.RayGumm said:List of stuff to do to my TB @ the show:
Re-plastidip front passenger wheel. *someone* gave it curb rash 2 days after I dipped it.
Change spark plugs (Will probably need to borrow someone's universal sockets unless I buy a set)
May03LT's $10 quad-hi beam/DRL kill mod
Install K&N Filter (Thanks Dmann!)
Install 9006 HID Low beams (Thanks again Dmann!)
Wow I just re-read my list. Damn I am needy
This gon be fun!
I will have to do some digging in the basement for the HIDs. They are still installed in my OE headlights, boxed up somewhere. They are Philips 9006 4300K HIDs. They have quite a few hours on them, but never had any issues.
They were kinda pricey when I bought them back in 2009, $269. They are still selling them at $200 though. If you ever change kits, Morimoto is the way to go and a better price at $150.

I'll take that over sticky icky hot and humid. Some years we've roasted out there. I've never told anyone this before but I hate hot weather.
Also just to reiterate what ghoster said on page 4 don't forget to bring chairs. At one meet we did a while ago I forgot mine and it sucked. So this is also a reminder to myself.

Done. And even if its not I am not doing anymore. Locked it in the garage for the night.
I will bring what tools I have. I can get other stuff like food if it's needed—just let me know. I will also try to remember to bring my soldering iron and inverter (although I haven't tried that combination yet, we'll see if it gets hot enough).
What time should I plan to show up and leave?

I just assumed everyone was going on Saturday. Is everyone actually going for multiple days?MAY03LT said:

i'm 50/50 right now. completely exhausted, and I need to road test this thing a little before I dare to venture a couple thousand miles from home. one fan isn't coming on so its overheating, need to troubleshoot that and get some feel good miles clocked before I decide. i'm delirious right now
good news is it feels like its shifting properly. so i got that going for me, which is nice

Yeah I figured 7am would be early. I will just plan to shoot for between 8am and 9am. Might convoy up with RayGumm depending on when he is leaving Martinsburg Saturday morning.MAY03LT said:Yeah the site says 7am. I'm never up that early so I can't vouch for it.
Jimmy I've been seeing your updates in the what did you do thread, you're definitely cutting it close. Hope you can make it.
Yeah I know, but have been busy the last couple weekends. It is going to rain here Thursday, so I have to wait until Friday to detail the exterior. Plus the bugs are bad around here at night and my front end and windshield are covered in only a couple days from driving to work at night. At least when I am done cleaning Friday, I can put the TB in the garage.
I work 3rd shift, so I will be off of work on Friday at 7am. Plenty of time to hit up the grocery and finish cleaning the exterior of the TB. I have a pressure washer at home and everything else I need to clean, so I am ready to go.
my bad May, just realized your second paragraph was for jimmyjam

ugh... not going to make it. healthy amount of oil coming out of the rear main seal i think. its kinda funny, was totally expecting my home made remote oiling mods to leak, but those are working great... go figure...
have fun guys, take lots of pics. if I was closer I'd tow this thing there.

I hear ya on the bugs. I take a mini clean up kit with me which includes bug and tar remover just for those little bastids. On the field they have a mini clean up area (with hoses) straight down from gate three on the left. And there are regular self serve car washes in town.

I'm leavin it as dirty as it gets on the drive up. I mean, half of what our trucks were designed for is offroading. Hell I may pull off somewhere and splash through some mud just for that 'freshly wheeled' look!MAY03LT said:
Somehow when I read May's post I thought it said "Jimmy and I" instead of "Jimmy I've"RayGumm said:
Yeah same here. My TB has been my DD for the last 6 years, so I can only make it look so good.RayGumm said:I'm leavin it as dirty as it gets on the drive up.
