I stopped by to visit and meet some new people, and got a few photos while there.

It looked to me as if everyone was having a good time though.

Thanks for hosting this Justin.

Great photos Frank...I think we were discussing the best cattle guard crossing methods for "in the field." ;)
A big shout out and thanks to Justin and his wife Maria for hosting the MOD Day at their house. I have a feeling some may still be there at this hour still wrapping things up.
A good group for sure...
Justin/Lava, our gracious host.
Paul, SDFrontier conducting a Titan Swap with SAW's.
Ray, HEVAK, installing AAL's, new Nisstec shackles, shims, and a last minute audible for brake pads.
Terry, SoCalX helped on Ray's truck.
Randy, RBDuffer came and worked on his motorcycle.
Frank, Frank B. was nice enough to stop by and snap the aforementioned photos, as well as took some time to chat everything shutter related.
Mark, kickingtires also stopped by in his modded Frontier, checked out all the rigs and also chatted about cameras.
Marc, Arch'sX taught us all how to open bottles.
Richard, bikerscage stopped by and watched some of us work.
Yours truly, John, GhostX and my gf Daphne hung out, wrenched (wenched?), soaked in the sun and suds, and chatted with everyone.

Today was great! ;D Lots of SCCX personalities on hand for the festivities ::)
We got a lot of work done in between all the BS and Parts runs! lol!
Thanks to everyone who came and glad you all had a good time. We'll do it again soon and get some new members hooked up with installs. This time we need more Indians and less Chiefs, and we can get 3 trucks done at a time! LOL ;) My Cul-De -Sac was overrun by Nissan. The neighbors are in fear that a new Gang has taken over the block, Son's of Anarchy Style, Thanks to Randy. :o
ITS MIDNIGHT and I just finished the Titan Swap install and The "Randy RBDuffer Eyeball Alignment" to get Paul and his Newly TS'd Fronty home to SD. Full day of good times and lasting memories. Thanks SCCX!
If you are missing tools, let me know. I'm (1) Yellow/Black Stanley Screwdriver Heavy and (1) Medium Harbor Freight Breaker Bar short. PLEASE Let me know if you find it. PS Terry, Ray has your Orange and White Jackstand held Hostage. ;)
AS FAR AS THE CATTLE GUARD PHOTO, I THINK JOHN IS IN A KUNG FU FIGHTING STANCE. ::)
Lava out. 8)

Thanks again Justin for a fun day.
The orange and white 3 ton HF jack stand has a twin at my house...please release the hostage.
BTW...where was that parts store...Jamul??

I have just barely started to discover what parts are still working this morning..... Thank you for lunch :-* :-* And the stupendous advise on HAM... :-*
To Justin.... That is a 90 Amp Flux Wire Welder you have right?

Hey guys, I had a great time hanging out, meeting everyone, modding my KLR, playing Chief :), and eating free ;D pizza.
Sorry 'bout the eat and run John :'( I'll get you at the stone brewery, along with Justin, soon I hope.
Justin, that sucks about missing tools, I hope everyone double checks there stuff. I did not have room on my bike to take anything but pizza ::)

Sorry, John. I may not have communicated with you that I needed Justin to cover me since I didn't have enough washington's (1 Washington to be exact). I'll make sure to buy the first round at Stone.

No worries...now I feel like a heel. :-\
Glad to see you registered here...hopefully we can see more of you on some Club runs.
How does the Fronty drive now that it's Titan Swapped?
-
Looks like it was a blast out there! Wish I could have made it.
-
Yup. I"ll send you the part number when I make it back into the garage.
Part #68887 for $99.99 right now at HF. Decent little light duty setup.

Thanks Justin

A little stiff but not bad...think M3 suspension. It should be just right after a bumper and winch go on though. It's quite a bit higher than it was before with 3" spacers. I didn't do any measurements but I'm guessing I got about 4-4.25" up front (it has already settled a bit since Saturday night). As Lava put it, the hood goes "up to his nipple"). Also, with the sway bar removed, I feel minimal roll. I think the wider track and stiff springs are helping with that.
The front soaks up dips and speed bumps nicely though (urban off roading...hahah). Obviously night and day from the previous suspension. The rear however doesn't keep up and I knew this going in. Will definitely need a full race leaf pack in the future. I just hope it doesn't lead to a full bed cage (I like being able to carry stuff in the bed).

Apparently it's going to be a monthly deal ;) Between, the monthly mod days, monthly runs, and Big Bear trail maintance, my schedule is getting pretty full ;D
-
Man, give me a month we might have more than just my full suspension!
It was nice to meet you guys. Not as knowledgeable on the Mechanics part right now or else I would of offered up some help. But that's what i am there to learn.
As long as i am not working next time I will be there. I will make sure the wife bakes some goodies or something too. she loves to do that!
-
Sorry I missed it. You guys looked like you had fun that day.
-
Someone mentioned to me that they had an extra pair of 2" wheel spacers. Can't remember who. If you are still willing to part with them, please let me know.
-
SD Frontier. Is this the same SD Frontier I know?

SD Frontier. Is this the same SD Frontier I know?
Yeah Spencer. I'm back! And that's my black Frontier with Fiberwerx fenders.
When are you coming back to Cali?
-
measure your springs eye to eye and I will let you know if they fit.
I am moving back in March, but will be back for two weeks at the end of this month to attend a wedding and get a few things sorted before my move.
