good luck, it took my dad and i a couple weeks to finish it, but we did it outside on jack stands in the rain and snow. with only a little air compressor. we had to run to the hardware store like twice a day...lol
good luck with it. my only tip is get a 4.5" grinder and cutoff wheel for the LCA mounts, and bolt up the passenger side arm before it goes in (the exhaust will get in the way otherwise). umm, thats really the only major tips i have....have fun and good luck (also let me know if u have a forward nutsert. my 2001 didnt have one so i had to tap a 9/16" hole and put my own bolt in there.)

Show off. I have to do mine the hard way. I was thinking of trying a torch, but with my luck I'd burn up the Jeep. So i have a new Matco cut off tool and 75 cut off wheels. And a new sheet metal cutting bit for the air chisel. And a really big hammer.
But a plasma cutter would be easier.

Woke up to 2-3" of snow this morning. It's about time we got some down here.
Good luck on the TnT install Randy - hardest part for Jim and I was getting the stupid crossmember bolts/studs out after breaking flush with the framerail.

we had a good 2" of snow, and i went out and was messing in it for a little while in 2wd (no 4wd till regear) so i played around. then it all turned to rain and the snow went to slush. but i have a feeling its all gonna freeze back up tonight.
living in Mass. for a year, i realized how bad the road crews are here and how bad drivers are with a little bit of snow. the road crews didnt do crap until the snow had been over for a solid hour, they decided to put sand down on the roads, then right after plow the roads semi-clean. i drove around and noticed no sand on the roads, instead it was all on the embankments from the plowing...lol
