Chicagoland Meet

[silvergtjrad]

i will bring a jack if no one else does

Mark= Awesome
I dont want to haul a whole bunch of crap with me and then try to find somewhere to put it. Last time I was at GLD i locked my stock wheels to a tree! I might be bringing a friend with me too. Hes got a GP that runs 11.5's. Im waiting for him to get back to me still.

BTW is there going to be an area where we are planning to have our pit set up?

We can also launch a search for a store that has a fuse for my amp..I blew it and I can't find a replacement anywhere.. (It's a medium sized 40, the only 40's I can find are the large fuses..*sigh*)

Oh yeh, umm, my drive up there is gonna be fun, my rear brakes aren't really grabbing right now so I don't come to a stop as quickly as I'd like..gonna see what I can do tonight and at the mechanics in the morning to remedy this. Got myself a 7am oil change scheduled

Hey, I'm gonna be spectating so park those wheels with me. I'll take care of them.

P.S. Got the headlights! They looks sooooo much better. hope it doesn't take all day to get them in
Do you need me to bring tools for the install of my headlights and grills???

[lone_wolf025]

For the headlights all you really need is a big flat head screwdriver to pry the clips open. Dunno about the grills...

[silvergtjrad]

If you are installing the lights on saturday, im going to bring most of my tools with and should have whatever you need.

Whats specifically is going on Saturday evening, and Sunday. This thread is long and the details are blurred haha. I cannot be out to wherever the hell I have to go untill atleast 9pm on Saturday.

[Ajaxus]

Not sure, hopefully we can get it all ironed out on Friday.

Heads up tho, that nice period from 12-445pm on friday that we're modding..I'll be sleeping in my car, haha. I've worked so many night shifts now that I can't go to sleep before 8am

Anyways, got myself an oil change at 7am..gonna have the brakes inspected then and get the final word on whether or not they'll hold up for the trip.. Once that's over tho, I hit the road for Antioch...

And if anyone has a two-way, I'll be broadcasting on Channel 1..
