They are coming and we're doing some work to their KJ on the 22nd, possibly into the 23rd if needed. Depends on when they get here on the 22nd. if they are like TwoBobs and keep driving back and forth till 11 AM maybe a later start so we'll see :wink: :lol:
Can't say more than that right now but we're doing some swapping of parts for sure !
No lifts though, we're getting serious now :ROTFL:

Would this possibly be a certain member from south central PA who has acquired a set of 4.10 diffs? :twisted:
I would love to come and hang out and help out, if I was able. Unfortunately got to work here in eastern PA!
Hope the operation goes well! My bet is you are doing axle transplant surgery. :frankie:

" Help, more parts than I know what to do with stop.
Need help and use of you garage on March 22-23 stop
will bring food, lots of hundred dollars bills and root beer stop
hope you will be home to help stop
if not leave door unlocked stop "

So what are you doing March 15/16? I know a guy that needs to work on the front suspension of his XJ but has been working 7 days a week. Looks like he'll have that weekend off if you're in town and not too busy.:grin:

4 posts and its already derailed ........................... :roll:
But not sure if I'll be here or not
A call was sent out for a Plumber/ Electrician and Appliance Repair type person ( me :shock: )
I got all of the parts ordered today, should all be in by Wednesday/ Thursday (12th/13th) so....
its going to depend on how long everything takes
Wonder who's going to do stuff for me when I'm 86? Hopefully Mac can learn fast when he gets here :-)r


But to the XJ, how long has it needed work done now?? :goink:

Hey, I resemble that remark!! :shock: I got a good look at the neighborhood, though. Pretty country around there :wink:

If the 22nd is still on I'm gonna work on being at Mudd's Garage to lend a hand if needed. I can make a run for adult beverages if nothing else...

This weekend?!?!?!?!?!
Uhoh, I just may have to take a break around the old Hartbreak Ridge Compound and breeze out there to lend a hand. OHHHHHHH by the way Tom, I picked up a new SnapOn cordless 1/2" impact. Dang things works sweet, just big and a bit heavy but can bring it along.

4:10's are in! But no 2Bobs and no Techman. KJWildman showed up to inspect the work. Many thanks to Tom for his expertise and cooking skills. And to SuperBugginKJ who showed up with the magical bolt removal thing that made the work go faster! We had a ball yall missed it! :pepper: :pepper: :pepper:



Would've went faster if Buggin wouldn't have put those metal shavings in the rear diff that caused all those problems. :goink: :goink: :goink:

John, how does she drive now with the 4.10's??? :JEEPIN: :rockon:
Sounds like a good day was had by all. Congrats on your axle swap!
Too bad there aren't any 4.10 axles out there for KK's because they never came with 4-cylinder engines. :ALONE:

John backed out, left about 35 foot of rubber in front of the house and then this happened :shock: How do we straighten out this mess now

We have a piece of modern "art" here in town that looks a lot like that. Every passing tow truck slows down thinking maybe they have a potential customer. :?
