I don't think I have it anymore but I'll be sure to check. I got a box from a mail supplies store right down the street from my house. I believe it was 48x12x10 or something like that, but didn't cost too much at all. $400 is a damn good deal for the service!

10am would be the earliest. I'm sure people will roll in throughout the day.

I'll be there around 10.. My DCI didn't come in on time but I'm still doing my alarm install. I got to put on some wheel locks I bought as well but I don't think they'll really stop anyone who wants to jack me' rims.

I'll be there at 10:00 AM. I think I've got all the tools assembled that we'll need for the brake install. Fucking highway robbery at Sears for a flare nut wrench though.......

Cool, see everyone tomorrow. My buddy Landin might stop by tomorrow as well to snap some pictures. So should I bring drinks/BBQ stuff at all?

I try to avoid "made in China" tools whenever possible. And that Ace isn't "hella cheap" on anything! I'll drive down the hill to Lowe's. Outdoor flood light bulb at Ace? $9. Same bulb at Lowe's? $4.50.
Highlands East stocks them for $10 (made in USA), but wouldn't you know it, they were out of stock on the 11mm! They also had a 3 wrench set for $10, but it skipped the 11mm size altogether! WTF?!! Schuck's had one in stock yesterday for $6, but I didn't snag it because they didn't have the other stuff I was looking for. Since I was already at Sears and I didn't want to stop, AGAIN, somewhere else, I said "fuck it!" The real pisser is they had a set of 5 flare nut wrenches for $30. But it is a very specialized tool, and none of my other vehicles will have metric flare nuts. No matter, I've got it now.

Sheeeeeeeit, I'm sure the Slapchop is made in China too! Damn near everything else is. This is the wrong thread of a prolonged discussion on why I have issues with buying products made in China. Maybe tomorrow over a few cold beers though..... No, the point is that just about every tool I've ever bought that has been made in China has either failed, or wasn't built to spec.

Many, MANY thanks to Eric for graciously offering his house and garage for this project.
Damn, I'm beat! Sorry I was birddogging the garage space for so long. I figured it would take about 2 hours less than it did. The damn mid lines and the stuck wheel easily accounted for 2 hours (probably more.) Front BBK install: Easy Rear SS lines: Easy Rear Mid Lines: SO FUCKING HARD I NEVER WANT TO TOUCH THEM EVER AGAIN! I think I created a few new swear works for those two little fucking 8" pieces of hose.... Drive home was uneventful, and the brake fluid resevoir is exactly the same level as before. I'll keep a close eye on things for a week just to make sure there are no leaks. Fucking up a PROcede or JB install? Not that big a deal, you just don't go fast. Fucking up a brake install? BIG DEAL! If they don't work, you don't stop!

Yea thanks Eric for hosting the install day and thank your roommate for throwing down the BBQ for lunch..the burgers rocked.
But dam if Scott's BBK install looked like a beeyotch! I haven't heard that much cursing since the last time I was hanging out with some Sailors in the Navy. Man do those Alcon's look hella sweet tho! |
