Slowest 80 Build Ever!!

[Andrew Walcker]

Just want to thank Andrew Walcker for taking time off work and getting over there. I appreciate it man. It's great to have family like you.

.

No problem, your parents are in good spirits realizing that things could have turned out much worse!

We normally recommend medium if the customer is not sure on how long it will be to get the additional parts.

As for CDL switches, back in stock.

Glad to hear the CDL is back!

Will order one today!

You do know it's supposed to be a 101 today out here? I'll be sitting in the frozen food section of my local grocery store like AL Bundy lol

halfway there!!!! We got the fronts and rears in, must do the cc bushings later. only one hiccup; my son (3 years old, see pic) thought it would be fun to grab a bag of bushings and hardware for one of the shocks and hide them all over the garage! we were essentially done, just one shock to mount and we couldn't find the stuff. At this point, andrew left (I don't blame him)--however, he was laughing quite a bit.

10 minutes after he left I looked in a box I swear I had looked into about 10 times, and low and behold, there they were. two washers were missing, so I used old ones, will order some new ones on the next slee order. don't have too much stinkbug, but a bit.

Once the lift was on, I could't back out of the garage so I aired down to 8psi and then had everyone in the house (wife, kid 1 and friend, kid 2, and kid 3 was up with me) get on the tailgate and I SLOWLY backed the few feet i needed as the driveway is on a slope down and only needed a foot or two to get the clearance I needed.

here are some shots of the work, the rig, and the boy! Threw in a before shot as well.

and yes socal, it was 101 today, but an early start and in the shade of the garage it wasn't too bad.

Nice tlc, I have a stinkbug! I like it, however

I am planning on changing the fronts to the 850's or 850J
