Anyone up for a repeat?

http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/vie ... hp?t=15164

I have Rusty's kit, and will be using the RSX 17004's in the rear. I'll be picking up a couple isolators for the rear and maybe Rusty's Strut plates for the front instead of the conduit nuts (not sure yet).

Ron (LilredLibby) offered to help and maybe provide the tools and space. I'm sure I'll pick your brains on the 17th.

I'm looking to do this in early March (3/4th or 10/11th).

Your thoughts on the install (Science_Guy, Moose and Eddo among others) will be valuable to me.

--Mitch

Its really not difficult at all. I'll still be around if everyone wants to head up to my place. I've got all the tools and installed 3 Rusty's Lift and several others.

I'll come on over to help with the install too. I've got a whole bunch of stuff coming in soon as well (locker, franeknlift, and A-arms) so I'll need a bit of help if there's time after Mitch's install.

I'm okay with it if we're done by 4:30ish. I can get started at any time that day.

The 10th, after checking the calender, probably won't work for me.

If you don't have all the parts, maybe we should wait.

I am in. That time will be no problem.

What would you like me to bring? (I have an extra air compressor to run tools, I'll buy lunch for everyone too...)

I've been watching this post too for the outcome,but still nothing. I even offered Mitch a chance to use our shop and he must not have liked me enough :( ... :lol: :lol: :lol: I got directions from Eddo thinking I could stop in to aggrevate them for awhile,but this party got moved up so quickly and I had to keep a promise to my better half to spend the day looking for a new hot tub cover and a few other things. I'm sure it went well with Eddo at the wheel :wink:
