Florida garage day?

Post by pyro »

(posted up on ifsja but figured maybe someone on here would be interested)
Anyone interested in making a garage day/weekend here in the next month or so? Figured some wrenching would be a good reason to get everyone acquainted. Maybe somewhere here in tampa or lakeland so it's centralized.

If anyone wanted to make a weekend of it there are a ton of hotels 5 mins from my house.

That would be fun..............maybe. Lakeland is not as far as Tampa from me. Either way I could still be home that evening. What are you thinking?

I met a guy in Lakeland (off Pipkin rd) named Russel that has a Jacked up wagon. He also has a broke up parts wagon that Im picking up and I have invited him to the event. IDK, if he'll make it but I'll call him next week as a reminder.

Shop Day head count

Post by Florida83FSJCherokee »

Just wanted to recap before the weekend..

So as of now I have a head count of :

Pyro
Guitarsail
Rocklaurerce + 1 (lol...sorry, sounded like a wedding invite)
Swampedge
[]v[]Maxx
Myself


Please post what time your planning to arrive if possible... If you need the address please refer to the above post for location and phone contact info


If you are coming and are not listed please let me know so I can plan lunch accordingly...

As for eveyone already confirmed I will be there around 7am (coffee is brewed all morning) and we will stay untill we get the projects that need attention finished. I have a couple friends coming that are very handy with the wrenches and 4x4's mechanics to assit where my own expertise might be lacking... As mentioned before if your project requires a special tool you should probably bring it in case I dont have it.. Otherwise plenty of basic shop tools, basic guages, and air tools are availible... If your partial to your own tools that it fine, just take it upon yourself to keep track of them throughout the day.

For anyone needing general automotive supplies there is an Advanced Auto .5 miles away and they open at 930am. Pep Boys 5 miles away , and napa 4 miles away...

Thanks and I am excited to get to meet you all.. Safe travels and see you Sunday!

I'm not gonna make it. Still in Melbourne as I stayed here and repaired my Jeeps a/c last night. Had I made it to my house in Clermont I would have come over. Next time though, I hope.
