As a few of you that rolled out to Moab know, I had a very weird few days out there with my XJ. My problems began when I turned on to the 191.
I was the shorter lifted blue XJ with the engine torn apart down in front of Cabin 14 at Slickrock (MJR or Mike Rollins as some of you may know him, was the mastermind behind pulling the engine apart and putting it back together- turns out it was a collapsed lifter on the exhaust valve of cylinder #1). A million thanks again to Mike, Charles, Vince and others who stopped by to lend a hand or a beer (Andy and Michaelle). I am forever in you guy's debt.
Well as others of you that were there at the raffle know, the last prize was the newest TnT Customs 5.5" GTP supension solution for Cherokee's. My wife ended up winning that for me- which made up for all the weirdness of the lifter.
Turns out this is a complete kit containing:
- front and rear axle trusses
- Y-link front control arms
- front to rear skids
- frame stiffeners
- new rear triangulated 4-link with coils (replacing the leafs)
- rear sway bar that is integrated into the coil setup
- Bilstien 7100's at all 4 corners
- new pitman arm
- brake lines
probably a few other things that I am missing, but you get the point.
So on to the reason of the post:
There is a bit of welding required for some of this kit and I don't have a welding bone in my body. I was wondering if in a few weeks when the kit comes in, if maybe I could get some help with the welding and install of the new kit. Bob (designer and owner of TnT Customs would like me to document the install with pics and blurbs and he also would like is posted here on
.)
I am prepared to offer beer, food and cheap entertainment.
Would any of you guys (or girls) be able to help? I don't have any air tools, so maybe doing it at someone's shop who is set up for that kind of thing would be better?
Over the next few weeks I will be completing a series of upgrades to the XJ in preps for the new lift.
Thanks for your time and consideration,
Coullt
