Pics?

Andrew! We missed ya on this install!
:-)r

It was a bear, and I left before we finished it up. Problem after problem, and I was fried by 8PM. I was seriously barely able to hold a wrench up when we were hopelessly trying to get the rear sway bar links off in a last ditch effort to get those rear springs set. By the end of the day I was defeated and I am sure John was too. :dizzy:

It was a long day filled with lots of staring, figuring, and redoing. I think we both learned a lot doing his KK lift, and I am glad to hear that it was completed today! GREAT NEWS! Can't wait to see some pictures and get John out wheeling with us soon now that he is sky HIGH! :pepper:

I did not take a lot of pics as I was scratching my head a lot creating a headache!
John's creation for getting the the driverside rear UCA bolt (that sucked!)

Mid liftage (these lift pics all look the same, lots of tools and a jeep on stands!)

Yeah Jeff I (the supervisor :mrgreen:

) wanted to come unfortunately I thought I could get out of the meeting I had but couldnt. Then I thought i would be able to come around 1-2ish, and everything just fell apart for me.

hey guys,

sorry i had to leave so early. I tried to help as much as i could during the time i was there.

Now since all of us have lifts we should all take a saturday or sunday morning for some wheel. :JEEPIN:

Yeah Andrew we were in dire need of your supervisory skills. Thats why it took us all night to get just the front done! :shock:

I would love to get out but the next two weekends are no good for me. This weekend camping in the Catskills and next weekend headed to Ohio for my girlfriends family trip. Woohoo!
I have off a few days in the week before the trip. I know that doesn't help you though Peter... :roll:

I have not been wheeling proper since the Jeep has been running normally again, so I'm surely itching to get back to the lake. Or at least some trails with water hazards! HA!

Yes yes I know! I would have been all over the assembly production! Jeff let me know if you want to go out at all. I am free most days
