Well I had an interesting evening
power was off for a while
mine came on Larrys went off ( he's a half mile away)
so Larry stops down and we go get a generator
just got back home
Never boring when you have good friends living close by
:wink:

Lets see what was I going to do this evening now........

Should I move to Toledo?

I refuse to live in Swanton.

Larry has a house in Toledo and it comes with a KJ in the driveway
just needs some "minor" tweaking
maybe you can make a deal
WHY would you want to live in Toledo ?

What a week....

Thursday morning...throw out my back...begin meds.

Friday evening...have to move the family to a hotel after the storms knocked out power.

Saturday evening...power back on at the hose...move back into a house that is 85f with a slow to cool a/c unit.

Monday morning...back is JUST feeling good enough to let me come in to work.

Why couldn't these things happen on different weekends?! At least I have a great wife who took good care of her boys through all the turmoil.

Hope everybody out there survived the storms!

Man I hope we get off this Daryl page soon

Larry just left, generator no run :banghead:

roads are shut down for some reason, its hot, no power for a lot of folks
and I want to install my lift :banghead:

My road is one of the few out here with power thank goodness

Got lucky, no loss of power, but going to be doing a lot of cutting up trees at parents' house. That wind was blowing the Jeep all over, felt like a rocking chair sitting at a light. Actually having tree guy coming today to down a couple trees that are hung up, I'll cut them up once they are on ground.
Had a good weekend overall. Money for my new project came on Friday, will be picking it up probably next Saturday. Put down payment on my new Garden tractor on Saturday, I should be arrested for what I got it for. Had nice lunch with wife and kids Sat, did movie night with wife Sat evening. Oh, Snow white and huntsman is a pretty good movie.

tommudd · **Posted:** Mon Jul 02, 2012 1:25 pm

Yea, its a beast compared to my old Sears. Front, mid, rear pto's, deck, hydro lift 3 point with a grader blade. Stole it for $400.
Check out page 495, posted couple pics of project in background.

tommudd · **Posted:** Tue Jul 03, 2012 9:09 am

Dang front , mid and rear pto hookups, you'll be able to run anything
and for 400 :shock:

any shape at all and you stole it!
Great buy

sorry didn't see any smoke signals and the tele sure hasn't rung :shock:

what's going on? your not tryin it without a compressor are you????????

tommudd · **Posted:** Wed Jul 04, 2012 2:08 pm

Nope had them compressed at Larrys Service Center on Airport Highway yesterday
Installed them last night
took it for a nice long drive
ride is great, so smooth , I'd say the smoothest ride I have ever had in a KJ before
BUT
got the rear removed, started on the front just toooooo hot out there
today.
Knock it out tonight when its cooler
painting my old springs , making some modifications , updates
and then find some one who may want a great lift to test and tune :ROTFL:

with 3/8 inch top spacer and 1/4 inch clevis its at 22 inches
enough bolt to install another top plate but my extra set is up at Marlons so....
if I get them I may try again, but right now back to old setup

I'll take it off your hands Tom. I even have the extra top plate to add and see how it works.

RedKJ04 · **Posted:** Wed Jul 04, 2012 4:11 pm

So Tom, would you recommend the lift as a whole based on what you found? I am finally looking to gather the parts to start building the lift for my KJ. Figured this kit looked interesting as it is a cheaper alternative to the OME lift. Just figured i'd get your :2cents:
