Topic: Calling all mechanics help with single spacer install !

[Duke562(rmaligie)]

Hey so I know this isn't for an Xterra but I need to install a top plate spacer between my strut the garage wants 200 bucks . Any mechanical guys with tools that I can come over to your place and have you help me . all this is a  thin spacer  that corrects the lean of front driver side of the car .
I'd like to install before the Bradshaw trip let me know I will compensate you for your time !  I'm located in Oceanside but can come to wherever .

Ps I tried to post on the toyota forums but those guys are a bunch of d***s compared to Xterra guys .

So.....unbolt the strut, insert spacer between strut and shock tower, bolt down strut?? Is this the gist???  What year/make/model are we working with here, I didn't see it in your profile.  I'm in Oside and can lend a hand

If you guys can figure what exactly needs to be done, you are welcome to my garage, tools and humble skills in Fallbrook.

Am I sensing a pre-bradshaw mod day at Duff's house? I have an AAL that needs to be thrown in the rear and I could sure use some help with it. I've never done an AAL but I am pretty sure I need some more parts (I literally just have the additional springs - no new u-bolts, clamps, spacers, center bolt, etc.) I wonder if anyone else has any big projects they need done before the Bradshaw run?

[RBduffer]

Come one, come all.  Get your parts together and let's mod.  Now's the time to get that CB/Ham hooked up or a new set of lights burning or just see who's doing what.  Bring it!

Did somebody put out the Duff signal?

Duke - that sounds exactly like the process for installing a spacer on an Xterra. Should be a pretty quick and simple process, as long as there are no siezed bolts or any other problems to deal with.

As for the Duff signal - I wasn't exactly putting the signal out there, but I sure could use a hand from an expert or two when doing this AAL. I dind't know if there were other people who were also hoping to have something done before the Bradshaw trip. With the trip only two weekends away, we'd really only have this weekend to do it, which might be too short of a notice for anyone who needed/wanted to participate in a mod day anyway.

If Randy will have us on Saturday or Sunday, (which it looks like he will) I would say take advantage of it!
