    Meet-n-wrench in Baltimore, MD

    Vendetta & I are going to meet up with Lizardmen3477 at a commuter lot in Baltimore County on the 29th to do some wrenching. It's an open invitation to any who may want to attend.

    Our attack list is:

    Window tilting issues
    Shock absorber install
    Nerf Bar install
    Seat Slider install
    Hub nut retainer screw replacement
    Anything else we think we can handle in the time allotted (HD torsion bar install).

    Tom

    EDIT: Now meeting at AutoPros in Aberdeen @ 0900 so that we can talk to the Tech doing the build up of a 5.3L in a VX.

    Their address is:

    AutoPros
    640 S Philadelphia Blvd
    Aberdeen, MD

    NERF brackets are cut. He just needs to mill the slots, clean & paint. They'll be ready for the meet.

    I'll have your brackets & VT emblem ready for next time we meet.

    Cool, thanks Tom. Now I'll have to go back through my PMs to see who had second dibs (behind V) on my nerf bars.

    Mav, Buffy, are those bars or brackets you're looking to sell? Or both?

    Both, that's why I was asking Tom about the brackets because I obviously need to get them back to sell the bars.

    Gotcha Mav.

    Once the brackets are more readily available and you guys unload your bars, I'll volunteer another "definitive" thread like the safari bar one from back when. There are some alternatives to the Luverne bars that might be helpful for those who want options.

    In my case it is bars and brackets. Just haven't had time to list them. Shipping Will be a killer on these though.

    Hence the hand delivery opportunity to 'V'. I don't even wanna know what shipping is gonna be on the upgraded hitch (hello Greyhound).

    Slight change of plans for the meet. Rather than meeting in B'more, we are going to visit AutoPros in Aberdeen. They are the ones that are stuffing a 5.3L into a VX. I've already called them & they will be open from 0900 till 1400 on the 29th. They indicated that there shouldn't be any problem with us hanging in their parking lot for a cupla hours to do some wrenching.

    EDIT: The tech doing the build is only available 0900-1000 so I've adjusted the meet time accordingly.
