Who is up for a ModDay on March 19th? One of our members needs help with his Calmini suspension lift. We will *probably* hold this one at Roger's house in Waco, provided he OKs it of course, as that would be a good central location. If you can attend to help, watch and learn, or need help with mods of your own, speak up!

I would love to go, but I will be in AZ..

Hey, I need to try and do a timing belt change.
Think this is something we could tackle?

We could make a nice write up for it.

yes, timing belt = super easy..but it can only be done in time if someone there has done it before.

I'd love to be involved (help) with a timing belt change... Mine's not due yet - but it is coming.

Woohoo! So has anyone here ever done one before?

I'm sitting at 95k miles, sign me up if we are doing timing belt changes!!

hey Tracey, any chance you've done one before? :p

Lol--I haven't done engine work on a vehicle since my 1969 Ford pickup I drove in high school/college. I think under the hood parts have changed pretty drastically since then.

Now if you need some fiberglass work or some bling added, I'm the girl for it. Or whoever changes my timing belt, I'll wash their X.

Have you ever seen "Cool Hand Luke"?

That might be an even trade for the guys . . .

Will you wash it wearing......ehhh nevermind.

*think* Must keep my thoughts to myself *think*

System-f did his.... different truck (pathfinder) same engine.

We need the System-f.

Ok, I think I'll save this one for the next mod day when System-f can attend.

This is my last post on this I promise.

OK, who is up for helping Rudy do his lift on the 19th? Kyle, Roger? Anyone?

s

I'd love to come and watch....I have very little experience and I'm willing and ready to learn. Maybe even help if I get the chance.

Roger is going to host ModDay at his place in Waco, this Saturday.

He will post/give out directions/phone numbers as the day approaches.

On tap will be Rudy's suspension lift. Others can work, get help on their projects as needed.

What time shall people come banging on your door Roger? 0800? 0900?

I might go down... I'd like to fool with my truck a little - but I still haven't gotten it aligned and don't want to drive it that far - so I'll prolly take the Honda if I do go (the trip will go faster anyway )

8 or 9 is fine if anyone wants to come earlier or even Friday is fine with me. I'm posting detailed directions but for MapQuest it's 734 Hodge Road in Eddy, Texas 76524

Exit 315 off I-35 head West on 107 towards Moody. Go straight through the Metropolis of Eddy for a mile or so. When the buildings stop on the right that is Mackey Ranch road. Turn onto it... houses and trailers on the right empty acres on the left. Hodge Rd is the first left off Mackey Ranch. There is a subdivision restricted community sign. My house is 5th on the right... nothing but the empty acres on the left. 254-859-3333 HP or better 254-498-7967 cell

I think I have all the tools we may need. Could use a HD impact wrench if you have one mine is basic.

I have never done the timing belt... My son Scott will be here and he as done quite a few just never an Xterra if you want to try.

Plenty of room for your dogs to run if you bring them... and they get along with my easy going labs.

That was a dig at my dog wasn't it?

s

Scott, just bring the puppy to keep mine occupied!

My son says the timing belt is easy as long as we have the timing marks. I have the pdf manuals but no Chilton's or Hayne's if anybody has either please bring it. He also said you should do the water pump at the same time since it will be apart and save a lot down the road.

When did Scott start a Pimp service?

Regan, you know you are welcome and tell Zack that Isaac will be here too.

Scott can bring his women next time

Me and my easy going lab will be there. I'll leave Austin about 8:00ish if anyone wants to follow.

I should be there.. possibly with Becky.

What all are we doing? Just the suspension lift?
