This definitely sucks for all Liberty enthusiasts, as options are now about 1/3 of what they were yesterday. I imagine he's been having a lot of trouble given the economy and having this as his primary income. I can't imagine people being on a snorkel list affected his sales at all though.

Hard time for everyone for sure and small businesses have been hurt the worst. Been through this before when I owned my own building contracting business, one day you're making more money than you can count two weeks later you have 10 guys wanting a paycheck and theres no work at all to do! Its feast one day/ starve the next.

Boiler I know you realize how tough it is to start something new and try to make it grow.

Definitely. Tony has spent probably 500 hours and I've probably spent 1500 on various aspects of our business. I still don't have a website, half the products I planned, and I think we just sold enough this weekend to make our initial investments back. One year of life gone and basically we broke even...

Fortunately we've got some equipment, stock, and future labor saving devices to show for it.

On a completely unrelated note, Tony and I decided we needed to raise our prices by 50%.

Just kidding... :lol:

Better known as Kentucky welding rod. If you get the shiney stuff, works good at repairing rust holes in chrome bumpers!!!!
Well, the higher ups have the rears up their... well you know. This project is so screwed up. They changed things, now my boss has to go to Ky plant to finish up our end of it,...so things have eased up just a bit, but more to come very soon!!!

Scott what suspension setup are you running on that red monster of yours. I got to looking at some pics I took at the M&G and it seems to be sitting pretty high.

1996xj · **Posted:** Mon Jan 25, 2010 10:47 pm

927 OME front spring's, 4 clevis ring's per side, stock upper and lower spring isolator's, rear JBA 4inch rear spring's and Rancho RSX shock's !! I also have 265/75/16 Dakota Mud tire's which make it sit taller !!! :wink:

tommudd · **Posted:** Mon Jan 25, 2010 10:52 pm

Better get those top plates in there to see if you can catch me though, tape measure says you still need to grow some :ROTFL:

yodejt02 · **Posted:** Tue Jan 26, 2010 12:21 am

I know I asked around about this but what about binding doing that spacer lift. Remember I am not really too familiar with jeeps yet so just going on information that I have heard. I know its a possibility, but how likely is it.

Oh and what about tougher cv boots too. Hit the 70,000 mark

tommudd · **Posted:** Tue Jan 26, 2010 1:22 am

Doing a Top Spacer plate is just the same as doing a clevis lift really. About all you can do with new OME Coils only is a top plate and maybe 2 conduit nuts
with a Frankenlift top plate only or two clevis rings at most
Chris is talking about possibly taking two rings out, of course by now he may of changed his mind!

Tougher CV boots are available from Rockford Constant Velocity Part number 815-21L
http://www.rockfordcv.com
I have some here will bring to next M&G so you can look at them
Scott may have gotten some as well I think, I know yellocoyote did

I wouldn't worry about them much really, my drivers side has 135,000 on it, boots on the passenger side were still good at 130,000 when the Intermediate shaft and CV came to the conclusion they no longer liked each other!

Well spent the day in the garage sanding and wire wheeling my finds from the local salvage yard. I happened to be messing around on http://www.Car-part.com the one day and noticed that a salvage yard fairly close to me had an 02 Liberty sport. So I went down there to check it out. I was able to get a rear hitch with mounting bolts for $50, and a front skid for $25 with bolts. While I was there went ahead and picked up the rear coil springs from it as they are the pre-lowered ones. So all in all I don't think I did too bad.
:JEEPIN:

It's good to be thrifty Brian! Sounds like you got a heck of a deal! :mrgreen:

RedKJ04 · **Posted:** Wed Jan 27, 2010 6:39 pm

Yep, certainly a good skill to have. Plus I enjoy working to refurbish things that I got a good deal on. It is more fun than just buying it and putting it on. There is a certain amount of pride that goes along with the items now. So when you do get them finished and installed you can sit back and be proud of how it turned out! Hopefully tomorrow they will be dry and cured enough to bolt up to the Jeep. At least it gave me something to do until I find out about this new job...

TAHOE · **Posted:** Wed Jan 27, 2010 9:33 pm

Was that from Bresslers? I got a buddy that used to live there pulling Fbody parts for people in our Fbody club.

Tried to get fired today... they just won't get the hints I don't want to work there anymore!!!!! :banghead:
