More than likely at my house in Queen Creek, unless someone wants to volunteer a more central location. I plan on getting started at 8:00. That way we can get over before it gets way too hot. So far we will be lifting a CRD with a Frankenlift. No arms, just lift.

Volunteers welcome...

i may be up for this depending on the schedule i recieve from the almighty, you need any tools or stands or jacks or anything?

Hey everyone,

It's my CRD we will be doing the lift on. I would love to meet some of y'all while I am here in the Phoenix area. Everyone has been so helpful so far.

It will be worth it to come even if all you get out of the day is getting good laugh out of having to listen to my deep suthun' draaaaaaawl

I'll be providing eats and soft drinks for your exquisite dinning pleasure

Y'all do like pinto beans and cornbread, ham hocks, chittlins and mountain oysters right?

Just kidding. Even I can only stomach 2 of the above. The rest are just nasty.

We'll feed ya well though. Looking forward to it!

If we do this at my house I have the tools we will need. If anyone wants to learn about lifts, crds, whatnot-- now is a great time. You can come over and watch. You don't have to get dirty unless you want to. If you have some work you would like to do, maybe we could help with that too.



jwalker, bring all the corn bread you want. Good corn bread is hard to get in AZ.

Oh, MP40 if you have tie down straps that would be useful on the clevis. I can not find mine, but will buy some if worse comes to worse.

I have some straps I could lend to the cause. Should be able to make it since they've canceled our OT the last three weeks.

And Jwalker, pintos and cornbread are one of my all-time fav comfort foods. Crumble up the cornbread, throw some beans on top with a bit of cheddar cheese and maybe a dash of hot sauce, stick a spoon in 'em and go to town

Dang y'all quit it! I'm hungry now

Sorry for the OT Paul, but I couldn't resist.

Robert... and I thought you were your own man!!! How things change!!!

It's an AZ LOST JEEPS thing....
other folks don't understand!!

I got the parts today, so we are certainly go for Saturday. I figure we will start around 8:30. I live 10 miles south of Florence, so figure that into your travel time.

4945 E Rousay Drive

http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=33.2 ... 01929&z=16

Um, you mean 10 miles west of Florence Jct, right? I looked up your addy on Google Earth and I get about 16 miles NW of Florence, and pretty much due west of Florence Jct.

If I'm able to make it out Saturday it'll probably be 10am or so before I get there, but I figure you won't need the straps before then. And if Robert has his you can always use them if you get to that point early.

I meant North west... I am just so used to saying south, as I am south of everything...

Much thanks go to Pablo for being my substitute UPS depot

Really looking forward to a day of grease and grime

Jan

Yuck---I have to work Saturday in the AM and then I have a commitment in Prescott Saturday afternoon. I would have really liked to have offered help and/or observe being a CRD and all.
But keeping all in mind and always checking the boards and still putting miles on the KJ!! Have fun!!

Roland

Toys... um I dunno. How about a portable air conditioner?... I have a swamp cooler but it is going to be a warm one even with the cooler... We should get er done pretty quickly, however.

I will have plenty of gatorade. I think Jan is bringing other goodies. I will also get some snacks together tonight.

Maybe order a pizza?

i dont have a portable a/c but i do have a nifty low clearance drill i can bring to install the bumpstops on the rear axle

K. That would be cool. I have an air drill that works, but the compressor takes a bit sometimes.

My green jeep CRD will be parked out front.

Gonna have to bail guys. Just got home from work after getting a boost in the parking lot, looks like my battery is shot. Good news is it's less than two years old so that means zero cost for me (thank you Autozone )

You guys would probably be done by the time I got out there anyway
