All I could find was knock off's and when I contacted J's about getting one they told me it woul be about 10 weeks to get me one.... I'm not gonna pay $300 and wait for 10 weeks plus pay to paint a grill that I don't particularly like but I like more then the other options.

Can't wait!!!

Man am I getting excited for this meet... Hopefully I can get my car in for tints before this weekend. Also even if it does rain or anything like that just meet on the ground level parking lot, it's covered and has plenty of lighting, there's even a port-o-potty lol. This is gonna be a blast don't forget to bring camera's if you have them, and lets plan on getting some food also. Looking forward to meeting new members and seeing all the nice rides.

jdm, I have the stands, but it you have a pipe or (enough ass behind you) a longer wrench handle, we can loosen the bolts and have the job done in short order.

ALRIGHT SO THE OFFICIAL MEET UP TIME IS AT 12PM NOON. LOCATION IS AT THE GLENN ON THE TOP FLOOR OF THE PARKING RAMP. IF IT IS RAINING THEN MEET UP ON THE FIRST FLOOR OF THE PARKING RAMP.

Here is the addy

The Glen
1900 Tower Drive
Glenview, IL 60025

and here is a quote from smesiter just to help.

If we are meeting at The Glen at the parking lot I was speaking of here is the link of the satellite view. You can click the map view to get an idea of the streets around there.
Google Maps

I zoomed in and show you how to get up top to the lot and the ramp to get up there.


Me and Kenoshainflames are leaving from Kenosha at 10:45 so we should arrive right around noon all depending on traffic. If you have any questions feel free to call or text me ( Jake ) at 2629451129.
