IL M&G/Lift Party - June 20th

I can prob make it but would have to leave by 2.30 / 3... could bring extra compressor, air tools, and other tools, but they'd be leaving with me when I go...

oddball · **Posted:** Wed Jun 17, 2009 4:56 pm

I'll be leaving by 4:00 PM the latest.

All these projects might not get done that day? As for lifts / suspension jobs, I'd say first to inquire about doing their lift go first and so-forth. Not up to me.

No guarantees that it'll all get done... but if everyone gets involved, I think most of it should. My clevis lift/coolant flush can be put on the backburner if need be... that's not a problem. I can do those things another day.

I think we could get both lift installs going simultaneously, even...

As far as hubby & me, there will be somewhat of a learning curve here (especially on my part). I'll help out where/how I can...but don't get annoyed f I happen to pass the wrong tool :lol:

My skid plate can wait also...that should not be too difficult to put on ourselves.

Also, I'll try to get a hold of some jack stands to bring, too.

hey guys i dont mean to sound snotty or anything but my parents are in omaha nebraska with my little brothers baseball tourny and i have no other mode of transportation besides the kj haha, so if possible could we knock mine out for sure it doesnt have to be first by any means just finished. i can get there when ever and stay till whenever. thank you soo much for the help everyone!

STINGN · **Posted:** Thu Jun 18, 2009 2:12 am

i got 2 jack stands, so we can fit atleast 3 jeeps up at once ya think, maybe bang out the clevis lifts or lift kits first

ihatemybike · **Posted:** Thu Jun 18, 2009 8:44 am

Don't worry Logan, we won't leave ya stranded.

STINGN · **Posted:** Thu Jun 18, 2009 4:58 pm

he can walk :twisted:

no im mean!

this should all get done.

My experiences with lift kits is pretty good, i put the front on my friends WK and the back didnt fit, so he got it done when i was outta town

i did a 93 wrangler liftwith my brother when i was 12 and i couldnt do my liberty cause i had arthroscopic surgery on my knee, couldnt stand the pain

So are you (whoever) thinking lunch or dinner?

jeepfrog · **Posted:** Fri Jun 19, 2009 6:23 pm

We'll be over around noon - weather tonight is to "iffy" to go into the Chicago.
I've already started marinating the chicken breasts for tomorrow.

The wife and I might stop by for a little bit just to say hi and see how things are going.

I'm trying to stay busy and keep out of the house, our older dog died Friday morning (not the one we brought to the M&G at Busse Woods) and right now it is just too quiet around here.

I will have work in the future. As far as I know my Gas Tank skid is on the way and I'm hoping to have money and get the Brute Force intake before we go to NH starting July 10th or 11th.

What an epic day! I was thoroughly beat by the time we finished up on Tom's. His test drive ended at 12:14 and he headed home with a nicely pigeon toed front end. The JBA arms doing there job quite well.

Not sure exactly what happened to Logan's lugs/studs. Looking online after he left the 1/2x20 tpi is a fairly normal size and I didn't see any other thread counts available for 1/2 inch.

I wish some things went a lot faster yesterday and we were able to get to everything on everyone's Jeep (or Heep), but I had lots of fun none the less.

So when do we do this again? I'm ready. :lol:

wingnuts · **Posted:** Sun Jun 21, 2009 8:45 am

Wow this would explain why when we took the dog for a walk we didn't see Tom's Jeep back yet.

Long night for you guys.

STINGN · **Posted:** Sun Jun 21, 2009 9:09 am

well, I am up for the middle of August at my place...hopefully me and Jamie will have the OME stuff by then
