I can weld. I have access to a welder as well. My brother has a shop right on IH 35 with 2 welders in it.

Edwin, that'll be awesome! I want to make sure they get mounted correctly and strong :-)

Chemguy, Thanks for the Feedback . . . I'm definitely thinking the supernerfs are the best all around for my needs!

I got the ball joint press and hub puller on the way.

I have a bunch of wrenches, sockets and such. I have air tools also, but my compressor is a bit big to fit in the KJ. Will there be a compressor there? I might bring the wife if there will be others there, she is great at grabbing tools and beers.

I live about an hour north of West so I'll be heading home when the fun is over.

I believe other's wives will be there. Mine will probably show at some time. We'll have a compressor. I hope everyone sticks around to go eat a and cruise a little. (maybe a little offroading)

I may be able to make it. It's a 3 hour drive from my house though, so no promises.

So the title still says Houston. Is this now in West, TX?

It is in Waco, TX. 20 miles closer to you.

Yeah, I thought about changing the thread name to "Waco Install Pary", but don't know how (if its even possible) . . .

I don't have a wife to bring . . . but definitely don't mind meeting any good lookin female friends they might have in the Mid-20's range . . .

I think we need to move our lift party to a bigger place to accomodate everyone. It's still in the Waco area and it's easier to find. Its right on IH35. I'm still going to give everyone directions. Since we have plenty of work to do, why don't we cook out while we are there. Burgers maybe.

bighause · **Posted:** Sat Jan 21, 2006 8:56 pm

Sounds good. I'll bring a few hot links, burgers, beer, and whatever tools might be useful. What kind of time frame do we want to try to meet, 10am?
I'm always up for for offroading, bring your towstraps and cameras.

Everyone go do a rain dance tonight!

Yeah, more room sounds good . . . and I'll bring up an Ice chest with some Cokes, and other drinks . . . and for the Grill I'll bless it with some Boudin straight from Louisiana!

*Cajun Accent* Aiyeeeeee . . . We gonna pass us a good time!

Edwin · **Posted:** Sun Jan 22, 2006 12:33 am

I'll bring somthin to cook on. I'm closest, so no one has to bring one all the way here. I don't know about organizing a meal, so everybody bring what you can to eat and I guess we can share. I have homemade sausage for the grill. Bighause, hot links sound goot, and your rain dance must have worked. :wink:

The time we meet does'nt really matter to me. I'm goot for any time.

Depending on how many projects we have, the earlier, the better to give some wiggle room for those Murphy's Law moments.

I vote for 9:30'ish . . . a whole lot earlier and I'm not very functional without a good cup of Coffee . . .

Which begs the question is there a Starbucks anywhere in the neighborhood? hehe . . . . or at least an ExxonMobil Gas station?

The starbucks is about 10 minutes south and the Exxon is 3 minutes south.
Any way I'm gettin excited as all getout. I'm ready to bust some knuckles on some KJ parts. :lol:

All parts are in!!!

1. Frankenlift (All boxes)
2. Supernerfs
3. Rustys Transmission Skid Plate

Questions:

1. The Frankenlift came with this pack of bungee cords and flourescent line . . . what is that stuff for?

2. Only one bolt (and no instructions) came with the Rustys Skid plate... is that all that's necessary to mount it . . . ?

Woohoo...!
