Spring Wrenchfest?

Unread post by BlackKnight »

Wondering if any WrenchFests are planned for Early Spring. Have some gear ready to go on. Specifically, a new Tailgate reinforcement as the Stock Tire mount is probably going to give with the weight of the 35" sitting on it now. Picked up that, and the License relocation bracket that will also require cutting into the electrical system (Passenger taillight). I was going to have some Bushwacker fender flairs and a pair of front fender liner replacements, but with the loss of work, I haven't picked them up (yet).

Nothing too terrible there, if you don't mind working outdoors on a warmer day, we can handle that at my place. Or, if you'd prefer someplace heated and indoors... you can wait for someone else :P

funny you should ask... I'm close to having a wrenchfest, possibly the day after the spring meeting to work on a few projects. would 3/15 work for people? I can get a two-bay heated garage in Westford and we can do a number of small projects and I will have a moderate size one that is somewhat time-sensitive. Details once I have a better idea of the scope of what I have done to myself this time. :lol:

this will be the first of two wrench-fests if my math is correct. ;) Lets just say Hoodoo will no longer be stuck on class VI trails. :music-rockout: 8-)
I'll create a thread when I have a better idea which may be as soon as tonight.

That could work for me (3/15), I'd prefer indoors. Will there be anyone there with any Electrical system knowledge. This will be the first time I'm considering cutting into the electrical system and would like someone there that has either done it or knows what they are doing. to back me up...

If I'm able to make it, I could pull the carpet up and point to where I'm tapped in for lic plate and 3rd brake light.

The instructions I have from Poison Spyder have the wiring following the rear gate, following the current wiring and into the opening for the rear passenger light housing. But any help is welcome.

:doh: And of course, after checking with the keeper of plans and verifying, I'm occupied on the 15th. Looks like I'll have to wait for the next one...
