Evan is a friend of mine and involved in the club I'm with here on Long Island. He definitely knows Jeeps inside and out and knows what to do and what NOT to do. Whatever assistance you need he will point you in the right direction. Welding, fabrication, axle installs, ring and pinions, lockers, suspension setups, etc. he can do it without hesitation the first time. I went by his shop a couple days ago to have some studs welded on my carrier. He is building an XJ with 1-ton axles. He RTI'd my Jeep to take shock length meausrements to know what size shocks to get for my specific setup. He just finished installing a Rubicon Express Long-Arm system on a TJ. His CJ is in there as well. I trust him with anything and everything when it comes to mechanical, and especially with Jeeps.

Hey Joey,
I forgot to mention : Don't be scared of Westbury Tire shop/ waiting area, etc. It looks like a place that was around in the 70's and never quite made it past. Like a COOL old shop back when, no nonsense. I actually think it makes it a bit more interesing. They were very fair with tire prices in the past for me, not sure about installs. Let us know how it goes.

He is not cheap, but not expensive either. He will charge you accordingly. I rather pay him than ANYONE else in the area. I know it's going to be done right, and that's it. He's meticulous with everything and anything.

So here is the finished product, in the first picture the rake looks off. A little two high in the front, it may just be the ground but I'm not to worried because soon enough it will have a bumper and winch pulling it down some. All together took me 7 hours doing it by myself.

it would seriously take atleast two days.
Cutting and grinding the first day, and the second day for the install. it takes some time to get the factory brackets off. Unless you can find a plasma cutter
