My plan is to leave wicked early Friday morning. 6-7am. Get into Michigan at around 6pm at the latest. Probably stretch and grab dinner with you guys somewhere.
honestly no worries bro, if you can help, you can help, if not, its ok too.. i think your adrenaline will kick in, and you'll fully be into it..

You're most likely right. Adrenaline and excitement will kick in for sure. When it wears off though, watch out. I think we will have plenty of time for everything. No rush at all. I already plan on taking the Monday off as well when returning Sunday. It's a lot of driving in a single weekend. Factor in the work and i'll be dead for sure.

No worries jar. Already bought a bottle to hit the bolts with a week leading up to the drive. Figured I'd hit them before and after work each day.

My only concern is tires. They're going to need to be replaced this year. The have tread... but not much left in the rears. Do I swap tires before or after the trip. Memory is foggy as to how low the tread is. I just remember breaking the rear end loose last season when the temps started to drop into the 40's.

Even better :tup:

Also going to fully wash and seal the car leading up to the trip to make our life easier to quick wash it upon arrival. Not that it isn't properly washed and sealed as is right now.

Tires it is. The OEM Yoko's have served me well the past 3 years. lol. Nitto Invo's, here I come!

man, if you can make the trip out here on what you got, I'd say do it.. but if you think if you ran into rain on the way out, you'd be in trouble, buy them now.:tup:

I think they'd survive. They're not bald. But the grooves on the inner side are def at a 3 or 4. The fronts look deep still. Then again, this is all just going off of memory. I may just buy those PSS's and call it a day.

Brother, no joke, im literally thinking as soon as you arrive, wash the car, get the car up on jackstands, pull the front bumper, pull the drivers seat, pull the intakes, and we could probably start on the HFCs that night, I could also start working on your rear fog light. We could easily get all of this done in a matter of a couple hours on that Friday night.
I see this going into Sunday morning. :rofl2:
