Haha, totally. I have to wait until I'm doing "tool clean up" to pour the first beer....unless it's hot out....or there's hot chicks around...or...ok almost all the time.

NO PICS today. Had a hard weekend wrenching. Got about 16" of snow Thursday.........after grenading a front U-Joint in my CJ, fixing it in a fricken blizzard out in the driveway because my XJ were taking up the garage of course.........I had 2 Frozen rear bumper bolts, 1 busted leaf spring on the XJ.

Having new springs made tomorrow.....

Jeep Week is turning into Jeep WeekS

A neighbor of mine thought it would be funny to make a LIFESIZE snowman on my porch. This guy weighed in about 300lbs.

So where did that National Forest sign come from?

Take one guess.

Hey I have a sign like that, it say "Property of the U.S. Government" lol

Awesome build up man... I have an 00 as well, and a lot of dreams. Waiting to get some drier weather before I look at Suspension. Working in the rain outside just plain sucks.

Of course, working in the snow sucks worse...

Looking forward to week 3 of Jeep Week!!

im excited to see how it turns out, and my "jeep week" which started in the end of feb. is still sitting on jackstands as we speak cause of lazzyness and rusted/broken leafspring bolts, i havent even started the front yet!

**XJH-007** · 04-01-2009, 10:54 AM

Been slacking this week. 2 more snow storms are lined up for tonight and fri-sat. I may be snowmobiling this weekend instead of wrenching.

Tomorrow and Fri I will be installing a Gas Tank Skid, and RE Sway bar relocation blocks.

Are those pictures coming through? I see a bunch of X's

ive just been lazy and its been raining here in jersey, but i might try to get something done this weekend...maybe... just got a new quad so we will see how that goes haha.

and everything that looks like it has pictures is working, at least on my computer.

and ive thought about the swaybar relocation blocks, but wasnt sure if there was a point to them, was your swaybar hitting your coils?

Well, it's not hitting it but it's REALLY close. It's a bit of a pain getting the front dialed in right....

If you adjust your CA's so that you have the stock wheelbase (101.4") AND adjust the Caster/Camber back to specs the swaybar ends come dangerously close to the coils......mine have grease zerks on them that stick out that little bit more....I think I could better the situation by lengthening my disconnects but mine are fixed, and still ran me $100. SO..I opted for the relocation kit for $29. I will be installing and taking pics tonight.

I'll be happy when I get my TnT LA kit back on...but I have to get this thing trail ready for my annual Memorial Day trip....AND help a buddy build his XJ.

...it never ends.......

awesome thread..looks fun! i don't think i would know how to put a lift kit on if it wasn't for the beer sponsers

just kidding, but the coldies help!

Finally made some noticable progress this weekend. Noticed a broken leaf last week and had to have new leafs made. I had the shop make me 2 of them so the lift packs would be the same.

Installed my new Sway Bar Relocation blocks. Plenty of room between the coils and disconnects now....

Before the fender Cut....
