Mike, are you having problems with your current UCA's?

On my second set of heims. The first ones were very squeaky. The second set knock in the cold. And when Jesse and I installed the second set, we brought them in a bit closer, causing the passenger arm to contact the coil bucket over certain bumps.

Jesse and I had greased the first set just by spraying some on the heim joint (they don't have a zirk fitting), but that didn't help. This second set isn't as bad, but, like I said, in the cold, they knock.

Since our parts will probably be commin in at the same time, want to do the install at the same time? I called and left a VM to change to the greasable UCA's and Radflo 2.0 rears.

OK, just spoke with JT. He's working on the 9th, but is pretty sure he's free on the 16th. He will call me within the next day to confirm he's free. He's willing to travel or host this event (he lives in Somerset).

Seth, how big is your driveway? Do you have air tools? Do you have a jack and jackstands?

JT is a master Nissan technician, so, if you have any questions for him, or would like to join in on this day, let us know.

Here is what I have: 30 gallon Air compressor with about 100 feet of hose, two impact guns(one is a POS and the other is IR), air ratchet, die grinder, tons of impact sockets, 3/4 in drive ratchet, breaker bar and sockets up to 2.5in, lots of prybars, swrewdrivers, wrenches, 1/2 in drive everything, 3/8 everything, 1/4 everything, a lot of misc tools. small 2 ton jack and big 3.5 ton jack, 4 jack stands and two ramps, oil container, pressure washer, torches, heat gun, multimeter, and more. Before my IT days I used to work on diesel trucks and now I love to just tinker. My next investment is a Matco box.

Driveway will 3-4 drucks with room to work. The driveway is a hill that goes along side of the house and flatens out behind the house.

We used our smoker yesterday to cook a tenderloin and chicken and OMG it was amazingly tasty.

OK, you have tools. :)

Is the majority of the driveway the hill or the flat part?

I spoke with Jesse yesterday, and he's open for the 16th, too. He can bring along some tools and a compressor, as he's done in the past.

The majority of the driveway is flat, but to get to the flat spot, you have to drive down the hill.

So I just talked to Greg and he said he shiped the UCA's a few days ago and should be here today or tomorrow. Its the adjustable ones and I will just use them till they start to suck. The leafs will be here Monday and then everything will be in. When do you want to do this?

That works. Unless you want to do it sooner because the 9th would work too. :) I can't wait to get my suspension on.

I spoke with JT tonight. He's locked in for the 16th. And he said it would be better for him to travel because his car is apart in his driveway right now.

So, having said that, Seth, are you still up for hosting that day?

If somone has an EZ-up they should bring it. This way if it rains you can still work on your rigs. Just keep the EZ-up over you.. ;)

But I should be good to go and be there..;)
