Plano would be perfect for me as well...we can probably meet at a Startbucks or something around 2 or 3pm, if it works for folks?

I'm in Plano as well. Count me in. Although I will probably be expected to organize this...as usual. Everyone who can make it, let me know where you live, so I can pick a good Plano location. Although I assume almost everyone lives west of Plano, so it will probably be in west Plano.

I'm sure everyone here is familiar with Shops of Legacy...would anyone want to eat lunch there or meet at Starbucks and just chill? Your call. I'm down down for both. Lets set the time for 1:30 P.M.

Hey Nelson. Wanna paint my calipers? Hehehe. Oh and I need you to talk to your Lexus people on the design of the jack on the GX470's. Did they use them in the GX460's? My mom got a flat on tollway, and I had to go fix it...scariest shit ever. Especially b/c the flat was on the traffic side. Anyways, the jack was a huge pain in the ass to use.

Oh and here is the plan. Meet at Starbucks at 1:30. At the Shops of Legacy. Nelson what time do you think you'll be? Are you working before or after?

Google shops at legacy and there will be a starbucks in there. Its in the main entrance next to the light so you cant really miss it.

The GX has a big ass jack set in the back I usually go by the frame but we have 4 post lifts at the shop. It is a big vehicle though what I would recommend is to lower the GX since it does have suspension CUT THE ENGINE ALL THE WAY OFF! That is a key step as in Key out of Ignition since it does have a bagged rear suspension....It WILL auto inflate and blow it out if the key is in the ignition lol. Just FYI.

The owners manual should help you out in that case too.

Sounds good. We need to have a meet man. At the meet, I was thinking we need to find a more central location for the Sunday meets, more westward...

Ethan, if it's possible, let's do something Sunday. I have the day off so we can shoot the Lotus or have a lunch GTG for a change.

BTW, need to ask you something in person when we get a chance.

Does anyone know of a shop in the DFW area that doesn't have a problem installing customer bought parts? More specifically an a/c compressor and receiver. I was quoted $550 from the shop I've been taking it to in Denton, and I thought that might have been a bit high, plus they were making a big fuss over the fact that I was supplying the compressor and receiver.

Mark - Buy a new auto tensioner. It costs a lil more but its insurance. I would say you can use it twice but the way you drive i wouldnt risk it.

I prefer Legacy. GWB Tollway is a much better drive there than 635's awful traffic.
