| Matt has asked for some help to do his body lift on his TJ. Can we firm up a date and location to do so? I suggest we see if Randy or Tim wants to do it at there place so we have the engine host and to give our east siders a chance to host an install day. what say ye? | |

| As Randy says, "let me check with the war department" to see what's on the schedule. I think next weekend (14-15) might work. We have family visiting this weekend so I know that's out.
We can use my place and since Randy can bring tools, we should be covered. I have a hoist connected to an overhead beam so we can either use it or Randy's engine hoist. | |

| You really don't need a hoist for a body lift (at least on a TJ). A floor jack would be plenty  | |
