going to a fellow members house sunday to do the work on my jeep and a few other guys jeeps as well..he said he has a compressor and jack stans and stuff so we should be good ( i paid to have my lift put on last time so i'm not sure what's involved really, but everybody else has done this afew times)...but thank you for offering...i'm sure somebody, and me, will need your services for something in the very near future. there is always a broken part being replaced or a new mod being done. ..and of course if you need any help with any thing just ask.....everybody here is super cool.

I think I handle taking the top on and off and putting gas in it. Mine is staying stock for a while. Bet you don't remember when you use to get 17 MPG around the city.


Putting springs in a Jeep should be a piece of cake. I did a F-body (Trans Am for the uninformed) the other day that the guy didn't have key to his wheels. That made it interesting to the say the least.

edit: I would stop by on Sunday and hang out and drink a couple of beers and help and what not, but I have finals the end of this week and next, so I'll be studying my ass off. College FTL

Dennis,
Did you get your springs? Want to put them on Sunday?


Sunday 1PM. PM if you need directions.
The more people we have, the faster the install will go.
I've got family plans Sunday afternoon but if I'm back fairly early I'll stop by to see how everything's going. Probably won't have time to start on mine, so I'll just save it for another weekend.
