VMKJCRD · **Posted:** Wed Jun 23, 2010 9:26 pm

Well I finally did it... After first seeing BennyMigs, LI_KJ, and now Infernicas with a lift and how nice the KJ looked I did it. I got the OME lift and it arrived yesterday! Wohhooooo!!

Ok guys and gals, me and Benny have been talking about a Lift party and we are planning one for July 19th (on a Monday) and we would probably be starting at 9AM at Bennys house. If anyone of you guys or gals wanna join in, there will be free BEER and eats. This will be a great learning experience. :pepper:

Sorry, no strippers, the economy is bad and I spent all my money on the lift :mrgreen:

FREE BEER? Did I read correct? FREE BEER......

LI_KJ · **Posted:** Thu Jun 24, 2010 1:20 am

I'm bringing more BEER!!!

Sweeeeeeet :lol:

I am SO there.

I'm so psyched for you, it's really the best thing you can do, I wish I would've saw Jeff's a month after I bought my Jeep, I would've lifted it right then.

I have experience putting it in, not too difficult, great idea starting at 9am. I started at like 3pm, lol.
I'll bring the ratchet straps, impossible to get the clevis back without them.

Obviously anything you need let me know. Especially when it gets closer.

Congrats on the lift, welcome to the club. :-)r

I should have all the tools we need but brings the strap anyway.

Got room/time to lift another rig as well?

BennyMigs · **Posted:** Thu Jun 24, 2010 6:25 pm

Haha, I had to Google that. Ménage à trois, is the spelling I'm used to, haha.

It can be done, we just need to be motivated..

Does Peter's kit have the front struts already assembled?

I'm pretty sure Andrew's need to be put together.

BennyMigs · **Posted:** Thu Jun 24, 2010 7:00 pm

No put their are alot of shops by me that do it.

Vranes17 · **Posted:** Thu Jun 24, 2010 7:06 pm

If it makes it easier I might be able to find a place that can assemble them here?

BennyMigs · **Posted:** Thu Jun 24, 2010 7:21 pm

Do you have the plate with out taking out the old ones? If you do then yes have it done before.

Vranes17 · **Posted:** Thu Jun 24, 2010 7:30 pm

No I do not, is there a place I could get new plates? Or do I have to use the ones on the rig?

BennyMigs · **Posted:** Thu Jun 24, 2010 8:22 pm

You can get new one but they are about $100. The old ones will work fine you just have to get them out before you install them.

Vranes17 · **Posted:** Thu Jun 24, 2010 8:29 pm

okay, thats what i thought, if they were a little cheaper I would just buy them again but...i guess ill go with the old ones

Hey guys!
Oh man, it will be a fun day! These few weeks are going to be the longest weeks for me. Every time I go into the basement I have the OME boxes staring at me lol. Come on July 19th get her fast!

Jeep Dawg there will be free BEER and a bottle of JD for you if you show up :BANANA:

The more people the better! :rockon:

infernicus · **Posted:** Fri Jun 25, 2010 4:26 pm

Andrew, it is not necessary to get new top plates. The original ones are fine, they don't really wear out. As long as Benny knows of a place, we'll be fine. Just have to take a break and get it done, easy enough.

Peter, I feel for you, I only had to wait one week. But three weeks, that's rough, lol.

BennyMigs · **Posted:** Fri Jun 25, 2010 4:45 pm

When we drop them off we can start the rear.

VMKJCRD · **Posted:** Sat Jun 26, 2010 3:43 pm

So how many lifts are we doing? Are we going for a twofer? :pepper:

I remember when I was waiting for my lift, I tore it apart the night before the life was schedueled for delivery, then we had a storm and I had to wait another day with the jeep torn apart on jack stands in the shop. :banghead:
