Mod weekend

Sorry i dont have many pictures, which normally doesnt happen, but we were very busy this weekend. I had guys come from Houston, and DFW, and temple. Here's the break down of what all happened.

Sat 7am: 2" drop coil install on a 1997 F150
Sat 9am: head to shop, and I align his truck
Sat 10am: another guy stops by and i align his 2001 Silverado, that i lowered a month ago.
Sat 11am: head back to the house, meet up with the houston guys, lunch break

Sat 1pm: start working on Electric fan setup on a 2000 F150 5.4
Sat 2pm: Paul starts to work on the Jmod on 2000 F150 5.4
Sat 8pm: dinner break
Sat 11pm: stop working for the night.

I wish i had gotten more of the fans done on saturday, but i kept getting side tracked with everyone that was there. We had 6 guys here, not counting me and my roomate.

Sunday:
10am: Resume work on the fans
1pm: Lunch break, meet up with Derek again
2pm: do a drain and fill on Derek's trans (2001 F150 4.2)
5pm: Finish building harness, and start testing fans
6pm: Fix harness and clear my tired head
7pm: test drive truck and check transmission fluid on 2000 5.4
8pm: Go to bed early b.c im really damn tired.

Monday:
Clean garage and tools

Here's the pics:

Sweet. I think I am going to relocate my fog light switch. GOnna pick up another panel that goes around the steering wheel to do first, then if it comes out good, gonna paint it to match the radio surround.

Derek, sometimes I wish we could trade houses for a week so I can bask in Patman's knowledge! I swear, one of these days I'm going to pack up and travel over there for like a week or something and have my truck come home as a different one, lol.

i used that same switch for my fogs and put them on the same panel, just to the left of the steering wheel instead of to the right...really makes a good place to put some switches!
