A bunch of us are leaving Lincolnshire at 0800 so we'll be in around 0930.

Cool. If you get there earlier, that's cool too. Looks like we have enough spring compressors to run 3 bays of mid-perch at a time, just need the experience guiding it.

Had a great day today with the Chicago guys. We did 4 sucessful mid-perch adjustments today. Unfortunately, a couple of other guys had stripped/corroded set screws, so no go. Definately the key for the mid-perch adjustment is to do it when the truck is new/clean. If you offroad or live in a salted winter location and wait a year or more...you will not be happy.

Thanks to Knine for putting this all together and Gary for the use of his shop/tools/labor.

Great meeting some new guys and always good to see old friends!

A.S.A.P. With this I agree 100%. One truck we tried was a 2010 with about 25K on the clock, no go. Mine, a 2012 with 23K had a stripped set screw from the factory, so a no go for now. I believe the other two were 11's.

Looks like we may have another 4 trucks to do real soon when my "fix" is in.
Great to put the faces with the names. Thanks for kicking in for Gary for the use of his shop. I picked up a gift certificate for one of his favorite resturants last night also.

Can't thank all you guys enough, my truck is looking tougher for sure! I would have never thought that when I bought the most badass truck out there, that getting to know some of the most badass people around comes with it. Can't get enough of the truck, this forum, and the good times with u guys! Thanks again

Had a great time with some really great people! It was too bad that we couldn't get everyone's done. If everyone would've just taken an air hammer to their shocks, we could have! That thing was beat into submission...but, you're at mid-perch now!

 

[HAYNES OFFROAD]

Haha if it doesnt move... get a bigger hammer. Or an air hammer.
