Lift party???

[XbajajeepX]

Soooo, I will have everything I need to build the jeep in a few weeks.. I am up in South lake and have a little dilemma.. Most of my tools are at my moms house down in Southern California since I am up here for school. So if someone is willing to provide the driveway/garage and tools, I will provide plenty of beer/drinks and food! I am thinking April 11th and 12th(sat & sun) or even the 18th and 19th if the other dates don't work.

I will be needing to install the following Items..

RE 4.5" lift(hopefully w/drop brackets)
Transfer case/driveshaft
Dana 30
Steering/tie rod ends
Wheels/tires
Maybe some Frame stiffeners?

I'm pretty sure that's about it..

Let me know if anyone is available/willing to help out!

Thanks

I have a garage. The boss didn't seem to mind when I mentioned it. If I get help on my project in the next couple weeks I could pull that out of the garage and have that much more room.

I believe frame stiffeners will be a project in and of themselves.

frame stiffeners bring the suck.
I took two days to do mine just cuz I had to keep getting up and doing something else so I didn't go crazy

How many would be down to come help out if it was in West Sac on the 11th-12th?

I have a pair of Opie's jack stands, and a pair of mine if I get my junk on a suspension before then...pickle fork, TRE puller, wrenches, welder machine, small compressor if someone has air tools.

 

[playwithit]

Count me in. I have airtools and any other misc tools required.

Nope, 18th-19th kinda sucks. But 11th-12th seems ok.

That will work fine!

Do you think we will be able to bust it all out in one day?

RE 4.5
transfer case/driveshaft
Dana 30
Tie rod

I think that's it..

Can anyone suggest some good U-joints for the front and rear??

Start spraying every nut, bolt and fastener that needs to be turned with PB Blaster and then repeat, weekly. Whats' the deal with the axle, just a swap?

Oh man.... I didn't even realize that's Easter weekend..

Fun stuff!
I'm in the process of installing 5.5" T&T longarm, AA SYE, frame stiffeners on little brothers XJ it's taken a few days. Some serious drilling!

I might be able to lend a hand and have a buddy in the neighborhood (looking for work) to do the welding (for a few$$). back to work for me, time to squeeze these 5.5" springs in place.
